Experience the deepest sleep and most luxurious stay in one of these acclaimed London hotels

THE DORCHESTER

The Dorchester is an iconic part of British heritage and a world renowned landmark on London’s glamorous Park Lane.

A 1930s art deco exterior houses 250 rooms and suites designed with classic English interiors, plus three contemporary roof suites with wraparound outdoor terraces overlooking the London skyline. The award-winning restaurants and bars at The Dorchester are led by London’s most experienced and welcoming staff, and the hotel is famous for its huge number of celebrity guests including Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, the late Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga.

TOP SUITE HARLEQUIN SUITE

  • Square footage: 1,645
  • Nightly rate: $13,645

Why we love it: Recently refurbished by New York-based designer Alexandra Champalimaud, the Harlequin Suite boasts elegant décor of silk and leather, a freestanding bath, fireplace and large outdoor terrace with stunning views over London. Discreetly reminiscent of the Hollywood glamour long associated with the  hotel, the design of these suites emulates the style in which The Dorchester was originally built in the 1930s while remaining fresh, modern and luxurious. In fact, it was in this very room that Elizabeth Taylor first heard she would star in the movie Cleopatra, and the original pink marble bathroom installed for her use remains to this day.

45 PARK LANE

Opened in 2011, this sister-hotel of the Dorchester has fast become one of the chicest hotels in London.

The contemporary interior design is provided by world renowned architect Thierry Despont, who has created a dĂ©cor that focuses on personal living—the idea is to create an atmosphere that feels like a private residence. The façade has become an instantly recognisable feature of Park Lane—the bold horizontal ‘fins’ are eco-friendly, resisting solar gain to the hotel, thereby reducing the power required to run the hotel’s air conditioning system. The environmental theme continues with the location of 45 Park Lane—opposite the sprawling Hyde Park, the hotel offers scintillating views from all of the suites. Wolfgang Puck has brought his celebrated CUT concept to London with a restaurant on the ground floor, which alongside the sleek Bar 45, brings a bit of Beverly Hills glamour to the London dining scene.
