At 124m\u00b2, there\u2019s plenty of space, and it is used to its fullest potential! The parquet flooring in the lobby leads you in and I was struck by the breathtaking view directly out onto Park lane, with Hyde Park in the distance; a classic London views from the most luxurious room. More gorgeous ornaments adorned the coffee table and we sank into the beautiful plump grey sofa, gorgeously soft and inviting, especially on a grey and rainy bank holiday weekend. There was no reason to venture out, so we stayed and enjoyed our little slice of Dorchester luxury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-180004 size-large\" title=\"Review: The Dorchester\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-900x675.jpg\" alt=\"Review: The Dorchester\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-709x532.jpg 709w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-86x64.jpg 86w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-180004 size-large\" title=\"Review: The Dorchester\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-900x675.jpg\" alt=\"Review: The Dorchester\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-709x532.jpg 709w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549-86x64.jpg 86w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-03-PHOTO-00003549.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The suite has a really good size dining table \u2013 perfect for hosting an intimate family dinner, a hen party or just getting ready on the morning of your wedding.

And I could spend hours just whiling away the time curled up in the bedroom\u2019s window seat, people-watching from a comfy, peaceful nook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img

We heard that requests have ranged from sourcing the best seats at football matches to find a dog breeder! Whilst we didn\u2019t have any similar requests, I was quite tempted to ask them to call a few of the luxury fashion houses they have on speed dial to do a bit of after-hours shopping\u2026 Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Liberty are well used to calls from The Dorchester.

just as a spa should be; with blue walls and spring flowers, there\u2019s an atmosphere of calm. Its white marble flooring and glittering chandelier set the tone for a perfectly relaxing morning as I was led through to the changing area and relaxation room. The spa has a wonderful steam room and rainforest shower \u2013 which I thoroughly enjoyed before heading off for a 60-minute aromatherapy massage with the lovely Roxana. White walls, relaxing lighting and a lovely calming environment made the massage like a true break from reality for those 60 minutes. Roxana was so caring and helped me choose the aromatherapy oils to relax and destress \u2013 perfect!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-180008 size-large\"

soothing spa trip, it was time to find out more about a wedding at The Dorchester. Timelessly elegant and effortlessly glamorous, a wedding at The Dorchester is something special. From the grandeur of the Ballroom to the charming roof garden that hugs the Penthouse and Pavilion, you\u2019re guaranteed a fairytale wedding.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ballroom\"><\/span>The Ballroom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With 1930s Art Deco glamour, The Ballroom has its own private entrance off Park Lane. Crystal chandeliers and sweet Murano glass birds set against a white gold leaf ceiling \u2013 truly exquisite, it took my breath away. For a cocktail reception, this space can accommodate up to 1000 guests, but a more classic dinner dance wedding reception set up would limit you to 432.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-180026 size-large\" title=\"Review: The Dorchester\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-900x674.jpg\" alt=\"Review: The Dorchester\" width=\"900\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-900x674.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-710x532.jpg 710w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-86x64.jpg 86w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res.jpg 997w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-180026 size-large\" title=\"Review: The Dorchester\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-900x674.jpg\" alt=\"Review: The Dorchester\" width=\"900\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-900x674.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-710x532.jpg 710w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res-86x64.jpg 86w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/The-Dorchester-The-Ballroom-white-flower-social-set-up-silver-chairs-High-Res.jpg 997w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Crystal_Suite\"><\/span>The Crystal Suite<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Crystal Suite has its own sweeping staircase which reaches down to a private lobby as well as large windows which let natural light flood in.
