Built in 1931, The Dorchester was designed as the perfect Grand Hotel, ultra-modern in its convenience, traditional in its atmosphere and service. A year after opening, the new hotel was established as a favourite with film stars and society hostesses alike. Over the years, The Dorchester has employed the cream of interior designers. During unprecedented renovation work completed in 1990, their art was restored to its original glory. Redecorated throughout, the hotel is now fully air-conditioned. The standard of service has been raised to give an astounding ratio of almost three staff to each room. Since its re-opening, The Dorchester has receive many awards including 'Hotel of the Year' by Egon Ronay's Hotels and Restaurants Guide, 'The Hotel with The Friendliest Welcome', and The Best Hotel in the UK' by the readers of Executive Travel Magazine.
