The Dorchester hotel 90th anniversary history best moments

The Mayfair Suite Picture the scene. It s 20 April 1931, and Lady Astor is cutting the ribbon to open the capital s newest and grandest hotel: The Dorchester. The Terrace is humming with liveried waiters sharpening carving knives and sniffing corks, while Jack Jackson and his orchestra (The Dorchester s resident swing band) provide a background serenade.

Normally the Irish writers side against the oppressive, colonial British.
