Everything worth its weight in gold.
Amazing ambiance from start to finish even if it was just 24 hours or less the stay was absolutely wonderful. Front desk was ready for us when we walked in and then the bellman and door men were so attentive and lively. Checking in was a breeze and it was fast and easy no waiting, she walked with us to the room and showed us everything inside and how everything worked. Vesper bar vibe at night was such a staple in the stay, they made everything good to great, Jacque's team is amazing and the bartenders are one of a kind. My husband's first time in London so I had to show him how to do it the right way, that was to stay at the Dorchester.

Food poisoning
This is a wonderful hotel. However, unfortunately, my son got food poisoning eating at the lobby restaurant. We ended up in the Princess Grace Hospital Saturday evening and had to be put on medication for a few hours. While the hotel staff are generally professional and wonderful, I think they had a real problem i with the lobby restaurant and it’s staff.
