The Dorchester Review

The glamour level is off the scale here with gold leaf and marble public rooms and guest quarters awash in English country-house-style furnishings, with more than a hint of art deco—along with Irish linen sheets on canopied beds, acres of brocades and velvets, and Italian marble and etched-glass bathrooms with exclusive toiletries created by Floris. Three elegant-to-the-point-of-fussy restaurants include one helmed by Alain Ducasse that is always making headlines. Yet few hotels this opulent manage to be as personable as the Dorchester.
