Sommaire

Before we explore the COMO The Halkin, Gainsborough Bath Spa, and the Mercure Newbury Elcot Park Hotel, let’s start with the history of the Dorchester. Built in the 1930s, this iconic hotel is located across from Hyde Park, a major greenbelt in the British capital. Situated a stone’s throw from luxurious Bond Street, a top shopping destination, the hotel holds pride of place at the heart of the trendy Mayfair district and sets the bar for luxury by writing the book on refinement and elegance.

London’s iconic luxury hotel

A favourite destination for celebrities, the hotel’s lobby is extended by The Promenade, a gallery where customers can enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea. This area also leads to the Alain Ducasse, a restaurant that has been awarded three Michelin stars, and the Grill, an eatery overseen by Tom Booton, a young chef who offers guests a modern culinary experience by letting the ingredients inspire his dishes.

Book a Mayfair suite

When you book your room, make sure to ask for the Mayfair Suite! It’s here where you’ll gain a true understanding of the word « lavish », and there’s no reason to stay anywhere else. Next, head down to the hotel spa, which has been designed to cater to your every whim. Enjoy a relaxing Art Deco ambiance set off by a touch of glamour. Each spa treatment is customisable since every client is unique—just like the setting.
