The Dorchester has unveiled its newly-transformed guestrooms and suites, marking another milestone in its renovation process. Reenvisioned by design firm Pierre-Yves Rochon, the hotel’s new interiors blend its renowned 1930s glamour with a newer, contemporary edge, drawing inspiration from its Mayfair surroundings.

Designed to convey the sense of a luxurious private residence, The Dorchester’s rooms and suites have been decreased from 241 to 250, with the intention of providing more spacious accommodation. The rooms have been designed in various colourways inspired by an English garden, from pale leaf green and rose fog pink, to heather blue and lemon yellow. Spanish Alarwool custom woven carpets adorn rooms and corridors, in keeping with the hotel’s signature carpet style, and select suites feature headboards hand-painted by de Gournay. Colefax and Fowler’s floral fabrics meanwhile enhance the walls and headboards in all guestrooms.

Pierre-Yves Rochon was also tasked with redesigning the main public areas of the hotel – including the Promenade – and introducing new areas like the Artists’ Bar, ensuring that there was continuity between public and private spaces.

The unveiling comes following a spate of renovations at The Dorchester, most recently its spa in April. Moving forwards, the hotel will be unveiling its renovated penthouse suites, as well as a permanent rooftop offering in 2024.
