Afternoon tea is traditionally served in the majestic sweep of The Promenade, an opulent lobby that runs the length of the ground floor and is flanked with p... eluxury.com
No title - expert review Few hotels this opulent manage to be quite so charming. The glamour level is off the scale: 1,500 square yards of gold leaf and 1,100 square yards of marble. Bedrooms (some not as spacious as you might expect) have Irish-linen sheets on canopied beds, brocades and velvets, and Italian marble and etc... fodors.com
No title - expert review The Dorchester, in recent years, has benefited not so much from a face-lift as from serious reconstructive surgery. Injected with new life after a 2003 multimillion-dollar renovation, with new spa, new restaurants and new suites, the place positively hums with energy. The endless lobby is now a veri... forbestraveler.com
No title - expert review One of London's best hotels, it has all the elegance of The Connaught, but without the upper-crust attitude that can verge on snobbery. Few hotels have the time-honored experience of The Dorch, which has maintained a tradition of fine comfort and cuisi... frommers.com

Overrated - user review As one of London's most expensive hotels, I'd expect better. The Staff was not so pleasant in my opinion. There was a certain, arrogant attiude about them and they often looked at you like you did not deserve to be there. When we called the bellhop to have our luggage taken down to the car out front... fodors.com
