The famous wax-work museum, Madame Tussaud's and the beautiful Regent's Park are within 500 metres and chaotic Oxford Street, the Royal Academy of Arts, ever-popular Buckingham Palace and the inspiring National Gallery are within 1.5 miles of the hotel. Heathrow Airport's only about an hour's drive away.

There are 37 guestrooms in this four-storey hotel, each of which decked out to give off the English country house vibe what with the assortment of antiques, fabrics and the touch of modern amenities. Granite marble and dark mahogany make up the bathroom décor, and all of them have American standard showers, large tubs and heated towel rails. Posh Molton Brown toiletries, bathrobes and slippers are also standard. All rooms contain wifi, direct-dial phones, minibars and air-con.

The hotel's Drawing Room overlooks the garden square and it is here where guests can relax and unwind with light refreshments or aperitifs which never cease to be served. In the cooler months, guests can curl up the by open fireplace (which is always fully-piled with logs) and read the complimentary newspapers, or play games on their iPads thanks to the omnipresent wifi.

The bar and restaurant at Dorset Square is called the Potting Shed, and closely resembles Bill and Ben's front room with the amount of terracotta hanging about the place. Its menu offers modern European dishes and traditional British fare. Room service is offered 24-hours a day.
