Small Luxury Hotel Dorset Square Hotel, 39 Dorset Square in Marylebone, London GB-NW16QN / U.K.
The hotel is ideally located within easy reach of Mayfair shopping, the Westend theatres, the City's financial centre and just a short walk to Regent's Park and the buzzy Marylebone High Street. Heathrow is just 40 minutes by cab and the new Paddington-Heathrow Rail Link is close by.
In 1787, Thomas Lord chose Dorset Square to lay down a cricket ground which, in 1814, moved a mile north to what is now known as Lords Cricket Ground. Dorset Square Hotel is one of the regency buildings surrounding the tree-filled gardens that would have had a grandstand view of the game in those days. Everything about the hotel is individual.
