The Dorchester Hotel

The Dorchester, one of London’s most iconic luxury hotels, embarked on an ambitious refurbishment to elevate its guest experience while preserving its rich heritage and status as a landmark on Park Lane. The scope included extensive modernisation of guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house spaces, all while keeping the hotel operational. Balancing the expectations of a world-class brand with the logistical challenges of working within a live environment demanded meticulous planning, coordination, and discretion. Delivering such a prestigious scheme within a constrained timeframe and in one of London’s busiest locations required specialist expertise and a collaborative, hands-on approach throughout.

G&T’s early-stage involvement helped define the brief, manage complex stakeholder requirements, and establish a robust delivery strategy tailored to the hotel's operational nature. By tightly managing procurement, logistics, and programme risks, we ensured that works were carried out to the highest standards while maintaining strict control over costs and deadlines. Our leadership was critical in preserving the brand’s luxury positioning throughout every stage of the transformation.

The newly refurbished Dorchester Hotel now offers a seamless blend of contemporary elegance and timeless sophistication, reinforcing its reputation as one of London’s premier destinations. The transformation has enhanced guest comfort, upgraded building services, and revitalised the hotel’s heritage interiors—all delivered without compromising day-to-day operations. Through G&T’s expert management and unwavering attention to detail, the project was delivered on time and to exacting quality standards, supporting the hotel’s legacy and future growth.
