At the heart of the hotel, The Promenade welcomes guests with its rich coral-coloured silk draperies and custom gold-framed mirrors. The Dorchester now has landmark status, which protects its exterior as well as many other areas of special interest from change. These include The Promenade, The Grill, The Bar, and the Oliver Messel areas. Guest Rooms and Signature Suites There are 194 individually designed guest bedrooms with king, twin, or queen beds, plus 56 suites and three roof suites. Bedrooms are decorated in a style of classic English residences and no two rooms are alike; many have four-poster beds and many rooms can also be interconnecting. Oversized bathrooms feature Italian marble, etched glass, and chrome fittings, reflecting the Art Deco style of the building’s 1930’s origins. Most bathrooms enjoy natural light and have bathtubs that are specially imported and are some of the deepest, fastest- running in the world. For an even more exclusive experience, The Dorchester offers 56 special suites, including three roof suites. The two-bedroom Harlequin Penthouse exudes Hollywood glamour and features a master bedroom and bathroom, a dining room with a bespoke crystal chandelier by Metalarté, a living room, and two sets of French doors leading to a large outside terrace overlooking Hyde Park.
