London's VERY BEST
Wow... what a 'glow up' this beautiful old dame has had since we last stayed in 2017. We had booked a night in London here so we could give our new car a road trip and, as expected, the staff, property, and experience gave us memories we'll never forget. We arrived early on a sunny Saturday morning, expecting to have to wait until we could check in. Not so... we parked right outside, walked in, and were greeted by the charming, wonderful front desk team who immediately checked us in and showed us to a brand new suite on the (brand new) fourth floor. Jonathan, the Front Desk Manager, seemed genuinely happy to welcome us back and upgraded our room to a beautiful park view suite, complementing us on the new car - just lovely. Throughout our stay, the staff here were genuinely kind, interested, knowledgeable, and highly competent - without the fussiness of some other hotels (the new bar in the Promenade is incredible... and the team revelled in telling us their piano there was Liberace's... that made me buzz even more!) A special mention goes to the doormen, Dave and Paul (I hope I have the names correct), who kept my partner's new car safe and sound on the forecourt all night, charged it, and made sure we had all of the essentials needed for our 2.5-hour journey back to the Midlands on Sunday. How magical it was to check into a stunning suite just two weeks old and smelling of new wood, carpet, and finishes, while maintaining the almost century's worth of tradition of exquisite, personal service in the grandest of grand hotels in London. We have a love of the Dorchester Group properties, having visited their Windsor sister (Coworth Park) just three weeks before and experiencing the same incredible service. A stay here is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but one which I hope to repeat every year of my life. Thank you, The Dorchester.

It was long thinking where to celebrate our anniversary, so we decided to visit The Dorch and Iโm glad we did. Every single thing we were served was perfect. From the tea being strong and full of flavour to the fluffiest cakes. Absolute perfection like you would expect in such high end class hotel.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful High Tea experience!
Wonderful hotel for High Tea. We took our daughter (13) to experience High Tea and it was truly delightful. The ambiance is elegant and traditional, the live piano makes the whole experience private and elevated and the tea and food was excellent.

Amazing service from the moment we arrived, surrounded by a beautifully decorated interior; we had the pleasure of being taken care of by Anuar who served the Afternoon Tea, carefully directed our photos to capture the experience and made us laugh throughout. I had the best time celebrating my birthday here with my family thanks to the Dorchester team, huge thanks to Sophie too who also kept us smiling and was very helpful. I will definitely be visiting again!
Be the first to ReplyBest service in town.
This hotel is just so so beautiful. We had a wonderful time here at the Promenade, what a beautiful place to have an Afternoon Tea. Delicious sandwiches, scones served warm and apricot jam was so nice but we thought they need to work on their pastries but a great service compensate for it. We were entertained, professionally by elegant Anuar, our server that afternoon. Our teacup was never empty as it was topped up regularly and we were offered a different tea to try too ! For what they charged as service charge in the bill, heโs worth it, what a fabulous experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Be the first to ReplyFab show rip off food stalls
Fantastic day for all the family. Plenty to do especially with great music and fireworks and very well organised but rip off food , ice cream and drinks stalls. Next time I shall take my own food and drink rather than paying a lot for disappointing quality food and ice cream.
Be the first to ReplySomething to remember.
We had Afternoon Tea at the Dorchester, thereโs 5 of us to celebrate my momโs birthday, food was good, sandwiches were freshly made as you can tell how soft the bread is, scones is just to die for and my favourite pastry is the coconut with pineapple jam, love it. Anuar our server made momโs birthday celebration something to remember, he treat us like a family and heโs a class act and a lovely guy at the same tine and the best photographer too ! Thank you.
Be the first to ReplyThe ultimate afternoon tea experience
London isn't short of afternoon tea experiences. From fancy hotels to restaurants and cafes, there's plenty of choice if you want to treat yourself to a nice afternoon tea. Without question though, the afternoon tea offering at The Dorchester is one of the very best in London. Especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. I had visited the iconic 5-star London hotel for afternoon tea a few years previously. And, having enjoyed it so much, jumped at the opportunity to go back. On this occasion I was dining with my partner and two friends; in fact, the afternoon tea was to celebrate my partner's birthday. On arrival we were shown to our table in the delightful Promenade, which is a very inviting space in the lobby area of the hotel. You certainly feel like you are dining in one of the world's best hotels. The beautiful decor creates just the right ambiance to enhance the experience. And we spent the next couple of hours indulging in one of the best afternoon teas you can have anywhere in the world. So, let's talk about the food. The finger sandwiches were delicious. I have a sweet tooth, and it's not often I rave about a savory component. But believe me, these sandwiches were amazing! My favourite was the roast chicken, gem lettuce and lemon thyme mayonnaise on malt bread. The cucumber with dill and horseradish cream, and the egg mayo with mustard and cress were worthy joint runners up. The warm scones with jam and cream were divine, and the mini cakes and tartlets were a treat for our eyes as much as they were our palates. And the tea, of which they have an exceptional range, was plentiful. After all, what is afternoon tea without a good cuppa?! Of course, it's not just the food that stands out. The service from The Dorchester team was welcoming, friendly and efficient. We all felt very taken care of, and my partner received a hand written card and a little birthday cake too. These little touches were thoughtful, and made the occasion even more memorable. If you're after an afternoon tea experience that is pure indulgence, The Dorchester's offering is the one for you!
Be the first to ReplyElegent service
My partner was looking online on where to take me for an Afternoon Tea as a surprise treat for my birthday and Dorchester Hotel came on top and thereโs a lot of review mention this server Anuar and we were lucky enough to get him as our server and itโs true enough heโs not the best, heโs truly is the greatest. Arrived at the lobby and was guided to the Promenade where Afternoon tea is served, itโs a gorgeous opulent promenade, itโs just beautiful with amazing flower arrangements. Greeted by lovely hostess, was offered to keep our jackets to cloakroom and tag was given promptly a few moment after we were seated. Was greeted elegantly by Anuar and menu were explained well and he definitely know what heโs talking about and he knows champagne offerings in the Afternoon tea service very well and we decided to follow his suggestion with Laurent Perrier Rose Afternoon tea package. Sandwiches was served shortly, duck egg was my favourite, the Dragon Well tea (was delicious) as suggested by Anuar was served just before scones and pastries were brought to the table but we loves the earl grey flavoured ice cream sorbet palette cleanser. Scones were devine, love the apricot jam but iโm sorry your pastries is just boring and tasteless โฆโฆ and whereโs the chocolate โฆโฆ. is it too expensive โฆโฆ. Candle lit birthday cake was presented and I was surprised and delighted. Was thinking to rate the afternoon tea 4 stars because of the pastries but Anuar saves the day, heโs confident, elegant, stylish. We noticed that whatever he did, he just attracted attention from everyone in the room. Heโs intelligent too, he can talked about anything, heโs like the Wikipedia, can talk about Bloomberg, forex, stock market, Cornish or Devon way scones, Taylor Swift, John F Kennedy, heโs so smart, a waiter who not only read The Economist, Fortune magazine but also Billboard and MTV. Thank you the Dorchester for a memorable Afternoon tea and Anuar is just irreplaceable, heโs one of a kind, you wonโt find someone like this everyday and keep up the good work.
Be the first to ReplyDecent afternoon tea but could use improvement
We visited The Dorchester for a vegan afternoon tea in April 2024. The setting was lovely but the food and service were a mixed bag. The staff were extremely friendly but our teapot was placed on a serving table to the side so that only the server could reach it and our tea cups rarely re-filled. We weren't offered the chance to change our tea selection until we asked and our tea was cold for most of the service. We had an appointment two hours after our sitting and the pace of food delivery was so varied and slow we had to ask them to hurry up. As a result we had large gaps in our service, followed by a rushed end. We tried several vegan afternoon tea options during our time in London and The Dorchester offered the best savory sandwiches of the bunch but their dessert was very bad. Overall, we preferred our tea experience at Brown's over the Dorchester.
Be the first to ReplyA splendid landmark is even better.
I returned to The Dorchester after a five year absence and have concluded that this is the most beautiful hotel in London and one of the best in the world. The staff beginning with Madeleine at the front desk and Jeremy Dawson, the front office manager (who personally greeted me), could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. I was initially placed in a large executive room that had literally just been beautifully redecorated but it was terribly overheated due to under-functioning AC system. The very conscientious Madeleine offered me two upgrade options: a newly redecorated two room suite or a smaller deluxe Hyde Park view room with a door that opened unto a small balcony. I chose the latter and it was perfect for me: easy to cool off with the door open and exquisitely fitted out. (The bedding remains peerless.) It is rare to be someplace where literally everything a guest sees is beautiful but The Dorchester is such a place. Every one of the public spaces from glorious Promenade to the upper floor hallways to the elevator itself reward an aesthete's eye. I can think of no other hotel that deploys colors and pattern so well, bright in its public spaces, pastels in its bedrooms. My every interaction with the staff from the housemaids on up was friendly and gracious. I was made to feel very welcome indeed. I know of no better hotel in London. If you can afford it, it is worth every pound.
Be the first to ReplyOur First Visit But Not The Last
Wow, where do we start to explain our Dorchester experience. This was our first visit to the hotel the purpose was for afternoon tea. When we arrived at the hotel the entrance into the Promenade was a real wow. The welcome was very personal. We were seated in comfortable seating the table was impeccable set. We were described as VIP guests and that is how we felt throughout the afternoon. The afternoon tea and ambience was excellent fresh sandwiches, scones and cakes served with endless fresh pots of fine tea. We are normal people but appreciate being spoilt and that was the case at The Dorchester. Too many staff names to remember all so pristine in their appearance with charm and professionalism to match. Taylor the Promenade manager was very efficient making regular visits to our table to check everything was to our liking. A memorable day at The Dorchester, one that will be repeated in the near future.
Be the first to ReplyWasted money
Afternoon tea, it was a lot and pay too little, we will not return. Completely everyday food at a far too high price, no atmosphere like the other big good ones, we'd rather go to the Ritz. Looked like a construction site with a bad self-image, don't understand why people bother to go here.
Be the first to ReplyDorchester event joy
Went to a charity event at The Dorchester and got exactly what we expected. The event ran beautifully and the food was incredible. The staff were a blur as they ran the well rehearsed plan to serve and feed an event room full of people. It was superb. The day was a sensational experience and we loved every minute.
Be the first to ReplyRed carpet treatment
Customer red carpet treatment at its best. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing The hotel looks incredible since they started the refurbishment, it was my wife's birthday, she was treated so well, polite staff, wishing her a happy birthday with a cake at the end of the meal. It was a once in a lifetime, the lady playing the piano added to the wow factor Thank you

Stayed at the Dorchester for a work event and loved every minute. Great location.. The newly renovated rooms make you feel like you are at home. The service is top notch. Bed was so comfortable. The hotel was very clean and loved the smell fo roses when walking into the lobby. I look forward to returning in the future.
Be the first to ReplyLuxury vibes
Every time I'm in London, tea time at the Dorchester is a must. A luxurious atmosphere reigns there, the piano to accompany our tea which is always fabulous whatever the season. The English service makes you feel really privileged! The hotel is so beautiful that visiting it is already an attraction to do. I would come back as always when I am in London. Xoxo ๐
Be the first to ReplyFantastic as always, brilliant weekend
Itโs been a couple of years since we last stayed at The Dorchester, but it felt like yesterday as soon as we walked through the doors. The hotel itself has undergone major renovations since we last visited, but it is still The Dorchester! Literally everything has had a makeover and it looks amazing. We visited this time to kick off a milestone celebration, and once we were helped through the door, we were met by Michelle at reception who very kindly showed us to our room, which was lovely. I canโt name every person who helped us, but everyone was so nice and helpful. Iโve said this before in other reviews, but I always feel itโs the people who work at a hotel that make the stay special, and literally, from the moment the doormen greet you, until you leave, every single person is there to make you feel welcome, and nothing is a problem. Dinner in The Grill and breakfast in The Promenade were amazing. The Vesper Bar is still the place to be for drinks, but honestly, you could spend forever at the hotel. Alas, our one night ended all too quickly, but we will be back and wonโt leave it so long next time. Thank you everyone for making our weekend special, and for all the extra touches that were very thoughtfully put in place for us G & C
Be the first to ReplyWhat has happened to The Dorchester Afternoon Tea?
Valentines Afternoon Tea at The Dorchester was simply awful and at ยฃ232 ... absolute daylight robbery! I have had Afternoon tea on 5 occasions (ยฃ55-65 pp) and i assume the increased price was for the single rose given to the lady? Firstly the sandwiches: there are 6 finger sandwiches each and when you ask for more (after sitting waiting for an hour) they arrive half hour later with a paltry plate of 6 sandwiches so you can fight with your Valentine over which 3 sandwiches you get!!!! The scones were acceptable but a tad dry and the tiny pot of clotted cream for two to share was unacceptable. Please take my advice.... when 2 customers come for Afternoon Tea at ยฃ232: ... do NOT sit them down and offer their first serving an hour later ... do NOT wait for them to ask for more sandwiches...try offering them instead ... once you do bring sandwiches, do NOT give them 1 portion to halve between them ... do NOT give 4 small scones with 1 tiny pot of clotted cream. I do NOT recommend anyone to visit The Dorchester for Afternoon Tea anymore. The refurbishments may have improved the surroundings but the level of service and quality/quantity of the Afternoon Tea has very much decreased.
Be the first to ReplyAfternoon Tea in the Promenade - great chef, poor experience.
Certainly one of the more expensive afternoon tea's in London, and the quality of the food matches the prices. There is no question that this is high class work from the Dorchester kitchens. Honestly, I suspect the challenge is that when you expect the best, and don't quite get that, the result is disappointment. I also think the seating is not great, as we were sat at a quartered sofa in the central section - which unfortunately faced us looking at the till, and tow exit doors. The staff we polite but ...while you never want too much service, but better too much than having to constantly try and grab their attention. By the time we left I was simply fed up with bending my neck and trying to grab someones attention. The room at 2pm felt more like the Institute of Directors, with international business people in conversation over coffee, and the Promenade living up to its name with a procession of other business people passing by our table to go to a meeting in a room just off the far end of the room. All the more frustrating to then watch one particular member of staff literally run across the room to serve a business man he obviously knows well - and ignore us again in transit. So while the food is quality no doubt. It is just not the place I would recommend for a couple coming into town from the country, looking for an exceptional experience of afternoon tea. May be it is just not the place for folk who see ยฃ90 a head for afternoon tea as an indicator of a life event to be remembered.

Be the first to ReplyAlmost perfect
Although we received a fairly good welcome, some other Hotels in this area offer their guests a Welcome Drink when arriving, but other than that our stay was pleasant, Restaurant and Bar Staff were also very friendly and helpful. We may be back some other time.
Be the first to Reply3 venues in one day!
Cocktails in the Artists Bar, lunch in 'The Grill' and post lunch drinks in the Vesper Bar. All three venue renovations absolutely beautiful! This is The Dorchester at it's VERY best. Wonderful atmosphere, extremely good customer service and a day surrounded by amazing luxury! Exquisite cocktails, excellent food and venues amongst the best social places in London. My wife and I have stayed at The Dorchester many times in years gone by, always loved the hotel and the history. This was in the days when Ted was the Head Doorman. An amazing guy who knew just about everything about the hotel and who he hadn't met weren't worth knowing! Since then with travel abroad and covid, this was out first visit to this wonderful hotel for sometime. We were not disappointed and as a result of this visit we are planning a further visit to stay in the spring. The Dorchester always felt like home years ago....and it still does. Once all the rooms and suites are also renovated it will once again confirm it's place as one of the worlds finest hotels!
Be the first to ReplyPost renovation - didn't think it was possible, but beautifully renovated without losing character
The beautifully renovated Dorchester Hotel lobby & Promenade - does not disappoint (although the official website photos don't do it justice). Thought yet another renovation of a 5 star historic hotel, where they strip it of all charm and character for a generic modernist feel. Not here. Thank goodness!! The main staples - beautiful flower arrangements, central table and three row arrangement are intact, but subtlely lifted with slighter brighter pinker hues from the jade/green tone. The floors - beautifully carpeted, although with some marble sections in between (ladies - watch out!! can get a bit slippery). Service - same - impeccable, but, newer uniforms - like the cream jackets for men, the navy for women. Still the cozy feel. The menu has changed. They no longer offer the combined English Breakfast with juice, coffee, etc. The muesli bircher has also sadly changed (used to be the best - this one is a bit simpler, although still smooth, and comes with fresh berries).
Be the first to ReplyWonderful weekend stay (birthday + anniversary)
We had a wonderful stay for two nights, and the experience was perfect from beginning to end. This was a special birthday / anniversary and the staff took care to make sure that everything was perfect. We got surprise champagne for the birthday, and then chocolate covered strawberries for the anniversary. The staff was accommodating of our late checkout request, and all in all this was an experience we will always remember. Thank you to the staff for making this so special for us, and to Alex Lee and his team in particular for the arrangements. This was our first visit, but we will be returning to the Dorchester in the future for any special occasion that calls for celebration.
