1 BEST FOR FEELING AT HOME

Dubbed ‘Mayfair’s best sitting room’ The Promenade, at The Dorchester, on Park Lane, will make you feel like a star, with the atmosphere created by the friendly and attentive Dorchester staff to match. With grand Corinthian marble columns, gold adorning both sides and quilted chesterfield sofas to recline into, it is the perfect place to allow the hours pass by. Guests will be treated to the sight of masterful bouquets created by florist Philip Hammond, featuring The Dorchester Rose from Meijer Roses of Holland, that arrived in 2020, and was seven years in the making.

There is a resident pianist playing from an extremely broad repertoire, including film classics, and theatre, for you to sway along to. The Dorchester’s Afternoon Tea is a true blend of East meets West, you will be able to enjoy a range of savoury finger sandwiches on artisan bread, using the best of English produce, with tea fusions taking you on a sensory journey.
