Hannah Ricketts reviewed her overnight stay at the iconic five-star Dorchester Hotel in London’s Park Lane, fulfilling a long-time bucket-list goal. Although she booked a standard room for £835 (excluding breakfast), she was unexpectedly upgraded to a junior suite valued at over £1,600 per night. The suite impressed with its elegant art deco-inspired decor, spacious layout, plush furnishings, and thoughtful design details throughout. From the grand entrance to the stylish Vesper Bar and flower boutique, Hannah explored the hotel's many offerings. The suite featured a separate living room, a beautifully appointed bathroom with luxurious fixtures, a super-king bed she described as the most comfortable she had ever slept in, and an extensive minibar—though prices were steep (e.g. £10 for a Peroni). Turn-down service, Bang & Olufsen electronics, and high-end amenities added to the experience, though she noted the robes were a bit “crunchy” and there were no biscuits in the room. She also enjoyed room service, ordering a £35 club sandwich, which she found delicious but very messy. Breakfast, priced at £45, was delivered promptly and was generous enough to feed two people, featuring hot and cold options and an assortment of condiments. While the hotel lacks its own pool, guests have access to one at the nearby 45 Park Lane. The on-site gym was small and busy. Hannah appreciated the discretion and professionalism of the staff, who were warm and approachable despite the hotel’s high-end reputation. In her final thoughts, Hannah praised the hotel’s exceptional comfort and service, stating that the experience “filled her cup” even though it “drained her bank account.” She admitted that whether the price is worth it depends on the individual, but for her, The Dorchester delivered a memorable and near-flawless luxury stay—highlighted by a calm, quiet environment and a staff that treated all guests with equal respect.
