The Dorchester, Park Lane London, one of the world’s most recognised and acclaimed hotels, is undertaking a major regeneration programme.  Opened in 1931 it has been owned by Brunei Investment Agency since 1985.

The Dorchester has engaged one of the world’s most renowned names in design and architecture to transform the hotel: Pierre-Yves Rochon is remaking the hotel entrance, The Promenade, adding a new Cake & Flowers boutique plus remodelling the guest rooms and suites.

New lighting will rejuvenate the exterior, creating a welcoming glow across Park Lane. Guests will arrive onto an enhanced forecourt, featuring a beautiful green granite underfoot and a landscaped, verdant garden area located underneath the renowned plane tree.

The Dorchester will be ready to reveal its new interiors as of early September 2022.

The hotel remains open for guests throughout the renovation with its popular afternoon tea served in the beautiful Orchid Room and a Mediterranean concept at The Dorchester Rooftop throughout the summer. Alain Ducasse and China Tang completed refurbishments at The Grill in recent years; they will continue to remain open as normal, as will The Dorchester Spa.  The Ballroom, with its own entrance on Park Lane, the magically theatrical Penthouse & Pavilion, and the Chef’s Table continues to be available for corporate and social events.
