Nestled into the east corner of Hyde Park, from the minute I arrived at The Dorchester I felt myself relax. Despite being at the hotel for work the team and I all shared how welcomed and calm we felt there. The incredible concierge team assisted and coordinated everything with ease and the kind of knowledge you could call upon to assist you with everything from securing an impossible minute theatre booking to a private gallery viewing.
