EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegance of the 1930s with this image of the main entrance to the newly opened Dorchester Hotel. The full-length, one-level design, free of steps, welcomes guests with an air of sophistication and accessibility. The Dorchester, located in London's prestigious Park Lane, made its grand debut in April 1931, quickly becoming a symbol of luxury and refinement. The Dorchester's stunning Art Deco architecture is on full display in this photograph, with its sleek lines, geometric patterns, and elegant curves. The entrance is framed by tall, ornate columns, adorned with intricate carvings and gold accents, leading the eye towards the hotel's inviting doors. The lush greenery of Hyde Park can be seen in the background, adding a touch of natural beauty to the urban scene. The Dorchester's proximity to the park was a major selling point, offering guests a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The interior of the hotel was no less impressive, with opulent furnishings, sumptuous textiles, and impeccable service. The Dorchester quickly established itself as a must-visit destination for the wealthy and famous, hosting lavish parties, high-profile weddings, and royal visits. This image, published in The Tatler in April 1931, offers a glimpse into the glamour and grandeur of the Dorchester Hotel in its early days. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when travel was an adventure, and luxury was a priority.
