Luxury hotel brand, Dorchester Collection is set to open a new 50 room hotel, to be called 45 Park Lane, in the heart of London’s Mayfair. The hotel, which will open in 2010 will be the eighth hotel in the Collection. The current portfolio of iconic hotels includes The Dorchester in London, The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Le Meurice and Hotel Plaza Athne in Paris, the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, The New York Palace in New York and the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.

45 Park Lane, will have 50 rooms including suites and an all-day dining restaurant. Only yards away from its sister hotel, The Dorchester, 45 Park Lane will be more contemporary in style with world- renowned designer, Thierry Despont appointed to work on the project. Externally, the concrete-clad fa‚ade will be revamped to incorporate specialist eco-friendly ‘fins’ which will diminish solar gain to the building thereby significantly reducing the power required to run the air-conditioning system.

Dorchester Collection has ambitious plans for growth and recently announced the addition of two new hotels in New York and Los Angeles. Commenting on this new hotel, Christopher Cowdray, CEO of Dorchester Collection, says, “All our hotels have their own style of individuality and this new hotel will be no exception. We are targeting 15 hotels in key North American and European cities in the next 5-10 years and to have secured another landmark hotel in London is of tremendous benefit to our portfolio.”

Dorchester Collection | The Dorchester Collection is the successor to the Dorchester Group, originally established in 1996 to manage the collection of hotels in Europe and the USA. The Dorchester Collection is a portfolio of the world’s foremost five-star luxury hotels.

The launch of Dorchester Collection in 2006 signalled a change to the strategic goals of the company. By applying its unrivalled experience and capability in owning and operating some of the world’s great individual hotels, the company’s mission is to develop an impeccable portfolio of the world’s finest hotels, both traditional and contemporary, through acquisition as well as management of wholly- owned and part-owned hotels, and to enter into management contracts for luxury city hotels.

Backing the strategy is a strong company branding that expresses the market’s universally high regard for the current portfolio and the distinctive common values held by all Dorchester Collection hotels.

  • The Dorchester in London
  • The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills
