DORCHESTER HOTEL
TOP SUITE
HARLEqUIN SUITE
� Square footage: 1,645 � Nightly rate: $13,645
Why we love it: Recently refurbished by New York-based designer
Alexandra Champalimaud, the Harlequin Suite boasts elegant décor
of silk and leather, a freestanding bath, fireplace and large outdoor
terrace with stunning views over London. Discreetly reminiscent of the
Hollywood glamour long associated with the hotel, the design of these
suites emulates the style in which The Dorchester was originally built in
the 1930s while remaining fresh, modern and luxurious. In fact, it was
in this very room that Elizabeth Taylor first heard she would star in the
movie Cleopatra, and the original pink marble bathroom installed for her
use remains to this day.
