Fodor's Review:
Few hotels this opulent manage to be as personable. The glamour level is off the scale: 1,500 square yards of gold leaf and 1,100 square yards of marble. Bedrooms (some not as spacious as you might expect) have Irish linen sheets on canopied beds, brocades, velvets, and Italian marble and etched-glass bathrooms with Floris toiletries. Furnishings throughout are English country-house style, with more than a hint of art deco, in keeping with the original 1930s building. The Dorchester is many things, but it's not subtle. The hotel has embraced modern technology, and employs "e-butlers" to help guests figure out the advanced Web TVs in the rooms. The recently renovated bar is receiving rave reviews, but its award-winning martinis don't come cheap (at £12.50).
