The Dorchester Spa was transformed in 2009 to create the most desirable and indulgent pampering destination in London and was recently named favourite UK Hotel Spa 2010 by Conde Nast Traveller readers.
The Dorchester occupies the most prestigious acre and a half of real estate in the world, in the heart of Mayfair overlooking the glorious green expanse of Hyde Park.
Prized for its spacious and beautifully designed rooms and suites, The Dorchester’s restaurants and bars –Alain Ducasse, China Tang, The Grill and The Promenade – also attract Londoners and the glitterati alike.
