Collect N°14 Dorchester Collection coDORCHElSTER ClOLLECeTION ct N° 14 autumn - winter 2 014 collect N°14 dorchester collection... 03 Bear witness to the ways Dorchester Collection’s iconic properties express their celebrated cultural contexts and engage with local creative talent. This is what we delve into here in these pages across London, Ascot, Paris, Geneva, Milan, Rome, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, with Hotel Eden in Rome having joined Dorchester Collection this year. All of these are truly exciting destinations, and Dorchester Collection hotels act as concentrated focal points in these epicentres of culture, like small communities, that become enriched with every event and every guest they welcome. Yaffa Assouline collect N°14 dorchester collection... 05 Christopher Cowdray Chief Executive Officer of Dorchester Collection A WORD from hen I joined Dorchester Collection, we were W five hotels, which all operated individually. Today, we are focused on Dorchester Collection as one entity, having evolved from being a group to becoming a collection. The challenge has been to find the right properties to fit into our portfolio; they must be ‘trophy hotels’ that provide a perfect setting for the high-level quality products, personal services and memorable guest experiences that remain constant throughout Dorchester Collection. Our latest addition, the 121-room Hotel Eden, suits such criteria flawlessly; its landmark status, her - itage and individuality complement the style and locations of our other nine hotels in the UK, France, Switzerland, Italy and the US. It is one of the world’s most majestic and iconic hotels in a truly superb setting. Overlooking the seven hills of the Eternal City, this presence in Rome, one of the major epi - centres of classicism, creates synergies with our Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan. We are delighted to welcome Hotel Eden’s employees into the Dorchester Collection family. This ‘family’ not only has cohesion but also her - itage and an exciting future. Hôtel Plaza Athénée celebrated a century this year in Paris, with a glamorous party held at the hotel in April. It em - barks on an extensive expansion programme as, over the past several years, Hôtel Plaza Athénée has had the opportunity to purchase three build - ings surrounding the hotel, including a townhouse to its right on 29 avenue Montaigne, a townhouse on rue Clément Marot, and the building where Le Relais Plaza is located. Despite every effort to maintain the hotel’s activity during this period, we have resolved to close it in order to preserve the guests’ comfort and convenience whilst the developments take place. Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Hotel Eden in Rome 06 dorchester collection... collect N°14 scheduled to reopen mid-2014, will be ready to embrace its next century. Following its own 100-year celebrations in 2012, The Beverly Hills Hotel, also at that time, em - barked on a four-stage restoration programme that began with the lobby; today, loyal guests will be delighted to discover that the iconic Polo Lounge, poolside and cabana environments have been tastefully revived. Given the long-standing success of the globally renowned chef Alain Ducasse present at two of our hotels, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester and Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée, it was a natural choice to extend his talent into the kitchens of Le Meurice, where he has been overseeing the en - tirety of the culinary operations since September. Dorchester Collection seeks to align itself with the very finest and most prestigious global partners; we are delighted to have his talent on board, one that I would venture to say is making history in the tradition of the culinary arts. On the sweeter side of the culinary arts, in this edi - tion of Collect, we have devoted a few pages to the ritual of afternoon tea. For a pleasant respite between outings, a business meeting or for taking time with family and friends to enjoy the creations made by our pastry chefs, tea is a traditional ritual that we like to keep contemporary. For example, there are themed teas connected to the arts including the annual Mad Hatter’s Tea Party with students of the English National Ballet School dressed as characters from Lewis Carroll’s story Alice in Wonderland as well as the opportunity to take tea within the Salvador Dalì-inspired interiors The Pool at The Beverly Hills Hotel © P i e r r e M o n e t Restaurant le Meurice Alain Ducasse t a collect N°14 dorchester collection... 07 The Royal Suite at Hotel Eden in Rome of Le Meurice. These highlight the way in which Dorchester Collection blends the arts and the ‘arts de vivre’ within all of the hotels’ activities. The fine line between the arts and the ‘arts de vivre’ is witnessed not only in the culinary arts, but also in fashion, with the Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize now in its fourth successful year, and in the contemporary arts, with the Meurice Prize for contemporary art in its sixth year. We gain several insider perspectives on this latter prize on page 70, in which we hear from winning gallerists and artists as well as jury member and Le Meurice general manager Franka Holtmann. Now that Hotel Eden in Rome is included in Dorchester Collection, we look forward to engag - ing even more with the cultural life of contempo - rary Italy. As Dorchester Collection grows, it is somewhat counter-intuitive to consider that in its growth, the Collection does not become dispersed but confirmed in its identity, with the single goal of becoming more cohesive, articulated and gener - ally a greater whole. — 3 Tilney Street,London W1K 1BJ, England T. +44 (0)20 7629 4848 [email protected] Dorchester Collection CEO Christopher Cowdray dorchestercollection.com Two of the most impressive yachts in the BurgessSEANNA charter Spectacular Seanna. fleet will be available in the Caribbean65m, 12this guests winter in 2013/14. 7 cabins.

  • 45 Park Lane to Launch Luxury Wellness Space
    Press Release May 2021 45 Park Lane to launch luxury wellness space (LONDON) Dorchester Collection’s vibrant and luxurious Mayfair hotel, 45 Park Lane, is set to launch The Spa at 45 Park Lane as part of the hotel experience from May 17, 2021. The 10,000 sq. ft. spa will feature Park Lane’s longest pool at 20 metres, as well as a personal training room and spacious state- of-the-art gym. Spa treatments will be by Valmont and Aromatherapy Associates. The wellness space is part of Mayfair Park Residences, the recently completed development delivered by ultra-prime developers Clivedale London located next door to, and serviced by, 45 Park Lane. Guests of the hotel will have full use of the facilities as part of their stay experience, which include separate sauna and steam rooms, a hydrotherapy pool and private changing and shower rooms. Designed by Jouin Manku, the wellness space has been specifically created to bring a sense of the outside in, referencing artistic flora using traditional Roman style mosaics from Venetian artisans. Natural timbers and light coloured stone bring a sense of calm and tranquillity; while timber slatted ceilings have been integrated to create better acoustics within the pool, gym and relaxation lounge. The entire space has been generously arranged to maximise the sense of spaciousness. 45 Park Lane’s art curator Lily Ackerman has selected works by American fine art photographer Jin- Woo Prensena and British sculptor Jill Berelowitz to adorn the space. dorchestercollection.com Instagram: 45parklane Facebook: 45ParkLn Twitter: 45ParkLaneUK Pinterest: 45parklane #DCmoments Blog: Moments The relaxation lounge connected to the pool allows guests to unwind before or after a work-out, spa treatment or swim.

  • Why the Eternal City Could Become the Next Hotspot for Luxury Hotels
    FEBRUARY 2015 | PRICE £350 IN FOCUS: ROME WHY THE ETERNAL CITY COULD BECOME THE NEXT HOTSPOT FOR LUXURY HOTELS Christof Bertschi Senior Associate Sophie Perret Director www.hvs.com HVS London | 7-10 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London W1G 9DQ, UK ‘Why should luxury travellers pay less for a hotel in Rome than in London, Paris or New York? We have the same guests here...,’ a General Manager of a luxury hotel in Rome asked me recently during an interview. His remark poses an interesting question: why are luxury hotels in Rome not able to charge similar rates as those in London or Paris, when they supposedly attract a similar clientele? A comparison with other European gateway cities illustrates that the business mix of the hotels in Rome is actually slightly different to that of London and Paris. Whilst the latter are not only tourism hot spots but also global business hubs, Rome’s client mix is more leisure and government focused. Although Rome is the political centre of Italy and benefits from demand generated from embassy and government-related events, Italy’s business powerhouse remains in the north in the area around Milan. As a must-see destination for every leisure traveller, Rome enjoys high popularity, but the city does not have the same status and perception as a luxury shopping and lifestyle destination such as London, Paris, Milan, Venice or the French Riviera. Additionally, supply related factors, such as underinvestment and a lower number of international luxury hotel brands, have so far prevented the Rome luxury hotel market from reaching comparable room rates with these other destinations.
