Dorchester Hotel

Put The Dorchester on your shit lists. They gifted Dylan and some other man cosplaying as a woman a week free in one of their suites. Dylan is also now a Dorchester "partner" so I assume further freebies to follow. Not sure what he's done to warrant a free weeks stay in one of their lovely suites but ok.

Bit of a shame for us as my ASD daughter and I have a little tradition of going there for afternoon tea in the Christmas holidays. Lots of lovely places in London though, I'm sure we'll find somewhere else but slightly annoying as she likes the familiarity and knowing what to expect.

They were already on my list years ago after Brunei made adultery and gay sex punishable by stoning to death, can't believe you were still going Confused

I guess that's all okay if you are getting a free week in a suite, though.

I wonder if Brunei is one of those places that will execute you for being gay but permits you to trans the gay away. It might explain why the hotel is keen to land a trans ambassador.

Totally ridiculous!

The Dorchester's Bud lite moment. 😅

What a strange move.

I'm pretty sure their core client base won't appreciate them pandering to tacky American Influencers of any stripe. Doesn't it rather cheapen the brand?

Surely the heritage values of the Dorchester are based entirely around exclusivity. Very foolish of them to trade that in to jump on the inclusivity bandwagon.

tbh Dorchester food has long gone downhill in my book. went there last few years back for a Sunday roast - poor service, subpar food - very meh. not been back. claridges anyway over the Dorchester. although claridges afternoon tea has also gone downhill... but their dinner/lunch at the Reading Room still fab especially over xmas

Try the Connaught; they used to have a wonderful tea ages ago.

Ironic, though, as the Dorchester is owned by the Sultanate of Brunei.
