8 The Ballroom

9 0 A room for every occasion The Ballroom The Dorchester s spectacular Art Deco ballroom encapsulates the opulence of Oliver Ford s original 1930s design. With its own private Park Lane entrance, leading through the Crush Hall and Gold Room, the space is internationally recognised for its impeccable elegance. Magnificent crystal chandeliers enhance the play of light across antique mirror wall-panelling. Tall pillars, made from a striking blue semi-precious stone, lend a touch of colour, enhanced by custom-made Venetian drapery and a handmade champagne-toned carpet.

12 Holford Room The Holford Room has a warm and relaxed atmosphere, courtesy of the oak panelled walls of the original 1939 design. It s an ideal place for your guests to gather for drinks and canapés, before moving into the adjoining Orchid Room for lunch or dinner.

13 Orchid Room The light and airy Orchid Room sparkles with chandeliers and mirrors, complemented by a beautiful white and china blue colour scheme, decorated with intricate cornices lending a grand 18th century style. This versatile room connects to both the Holford Room and The Ballroom.

16 Crystal Suite The contemporary styled Crystal Suite features golden-hued silk walls and exquisite lighting, with unrivalled views over Hyde Park. Its private entrance leads guests from The Promenade via a sweeping staircase and dramatic chandelier, past an impressive silver glass encrusted piano, previously owned by Liberace. This luxurious event space has large windows, giving plenty of natural daylight. It features an equally elegant anteroom, which is popular for drinks receptions, and can be hired with the Opal Room on the lower ground if further space is desired.

17 Park Suite Offering the perfect mix of privacy with glorious views over Hyde Park, The Park Suite comprises two adjoining rooms just off The Promenade. This elegant venue is perfect for smaller parties and is where Prince Phillip famously held his stag party back in 1947.

19 The Penthouse and Pavilion Located on the eighth floor, The Penthouse and Pavilion is a theatrical setting for events, designed in 1953 by celebrated theatre set designer Oliver Messel. Inspired by Sleeping Beauty, Messel created a virtual wonderland featuring an ornate mirrored forest; birds perched on twigs act as door handles and the light fixtures resemble gilded Edwardian bird cages. The Penthouse benefits from plenty of natural daylight thanks to the floor-to-ceiling French windows, which open onto a spacious garden terrace with a fountain of frolicking cherubs and impressive panoramic views over London. In The Pavilion, Messel depicted scenes from Mozart s The Magic Flute in paintings on the doors, and the green walls feature large mirrors framed with intricate gold leaves. The Pavilion
