Perfectly situated in the heart of London's Mayfair on Park Lane, The Dorchester offers spacious rooms, amazing dining and entertaining, and a spa beyond measure. For more than half a century, The Dorchester has graced London's Hyde Park area and beckoned to wealthy tourists, statesmen, royalty and celebrities.

Many of those celebrities have stayed in one of the most luxurious suites in all of London-
The Oliver Messel Suite. This top-floor suite costs approximately $6,000 a night and is named after Oliver Messel, a famous set/costume designer in London's West end as well as on Broadway in New York City. The sensational suite features a sitting room, a private balcony, a double bedroom and a double bathroom.

A Bit of Background
 
The Dorchester first opened its doors in 1931. It was a very modern construction for its time, built of reinforced concrete, and designed by Sir Owen Williams and William Curtis Green. From its first day of operation, the hotel was touted as an ultra-hip, very efficient, "perfect hotel."
 
In need of updating, The Dorchester closed its doors in 1988 for two solid years of meticulous upgrades and restoration. The hotel continues to delight its guests and live up to the grand reputation it has earned over the years. It's luxury in the heart of London-what could be better than that?
