Perfect birthday weekend. Amazing afternoon tea
Pros:

Wonderful hotel and lovely food and drinks

Cons:

Sadly not greeted as we arrived at the front by car. Door man on the phone. Ritz and savoy have more of an exciting arrival to make you feel special.
The cocktail bar we had to move as air conditioning was right by our table so cold for November.

A true icon, splendid.
Pros:

The staff are incredible - they discrete but friendly and chatty if you wish to talk. Very slick. We ate at the hotel restaurants during our stay, and the food was excellent - the Grill especially was fantastic. We really enjoyed the extensive and interesting wine list at the Grill. And I do think the Dorchester probably has the best pastry team of the London icon hotels. The rooms are lovely - just love the colour scheme used in the Dorchester rooms, elegant and peaceful.

Cons:

The wine list in the Grill is superb, so comprehensive. Unfortunately in the Promenade the wine list is suprisingly limited - one can see they are catering more for the afternoon tea brigade (champagne). The Dorchester public spaces (restaurant/bars) are almost too busy - given it is an icon hotel with a constant flow of people coming for afternoon tea, it can feel rather busy. (More than once we got the very last chairs in the bar). As a guest you sometimes wish for a quiet guest-only lounge/bar....one afternoon we actually walked to the Fours Seasons hotel nearby for a quiet drink. Staying in an icon hotel like the Dorchester is fabulous but it does make one appreciate the smaller London boutique hotels (with no afternoon tea brigade) a bit more!

Another great stay at the Dorchester.
Pros:

Best hotel in London by a long way. The welcome you get from the very friendly staff is fantastic. They make you feel very welcome and can’t do enough for you. The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. Special mention for David on the door and Luke & Mikel in the restaurant who go above and beyond to make you very welcome.
