Chef Alain Ducasse helps usher in a new era for the historic Dorchester hotel, London
The Dorchester hotel is a titan of the London hotel scene that has stood at the heart of Mayfair since 1931, when it quickly became a byword for luxury and glamour.
, and like a giant awoken from a nap, has emerged reinvigorated with a glorious redesign that does full justice to its art deco grandeur and heritage.The Grade ll-listed building provides a magnificent setting for a selection of bars and restaurants, not least Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester. The celebrated and pioneering French chef has held a total of 21 Michelin stars throughout his career, three of which adorn his restaurant at The Dorchester, and he is a significant presence there.
The restaurant occupies a large and lofty space on the ground floor, accessed through The Dorchester’s main entrance and the opulent Promenade room. Designed by duo Jouin Manku the interior draws inspiration from nearby Hyde Park, with wood, leather and textiles in soft natural shades that create an elegant, beautifully lit, and deeply comfortable space.Within the main dining room, ‘La Table Lumière’ makes a shimmering focal point.
A choice of tableware is used exclusively for La Table Lumière – a luxurious collection of Hermès china sets, Puiforcat silverware and Saint-Louis crystal. The restaurant seamlessly merges tradition with modernity and sets an ideal scene in which to appreciate Alain Ducasse’s globally revered cuisine.
His cooking features the freshest produce, sourced from British and French suppliers for their quality, provenance, and exquisite flavour. Each dish is flawlessly balanced and beautifully presented; Cornish turbot, Jerusalem artichoke, watercress, black truffle and hazelnut is a signature dish, with Denbighshire venison also a feature, and Java chocolate with whisky – strikingly offered in a cacao pod.
