Travel can be tricky these days, particularly if you have to leave your
butler at home. Fortunately for the service-minded traveler, the
Dorchester Collection's latest property, 45 Park Lane, opens in London
on September 1. Although it will be the first completely new hotel to
open in Mayfair in the past 100 years, it's pulling a trick straight out
of the Gosford Park playbook: Every guest gets their own host.
Part personal assistant, part butler, part concierge, hosts will be
assigned to each of the property's 45 rooms and suites. They'll greet
you, escort you to your room for a private check-in, and arrange
everything just so (expect a call prior to arrival). The overall effect
is like staying at a well-located private residence, one replete with
screening room, Wolfgang Puck in the kitchen (the in-house Cut
restaurant is his first European venture), and rich Deco-inspired
contemporary interiors by Thierry Despont. Capital holiday, old chaps.
