Dorset Square Hotel overlooks the private garden of one of Marylebone’s quieter squares, on the site of Thomas Lord’s original cricket ground. Kit Kemp references that history lightly through the interiors, mixing discreet cricket motifs with patterned fabrics, bold colour and individually chosen artwork across just 38 rooms. The Drawing Room faces the square and serves as the principal guest lounge. The Potting Shed handles breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks in the basement. Baker Street and Marylebone station are only minutes away, yet the garden railings and Georgian architecture around Dorset Square give the property a markedly calmer immediate setting than nearby arterial roads.
