Michelin Guide "It was the original site of the Playboy Club and has been a car showroom but now 45 Park Lane has been reborn as The Dorchester's sister hotel."
Star Service "It is the little sister of the nearby classically grand Dorchester hotel, which it relies on for some luxury frills and backup facilities." Full review
Gayot "With the opening of 45 Park Lane, the Dorchester Collection offers upscale travelers the ninth property in its portfolio of luxury hotels."
