Introduced in 1992, this award is the AA’s ultimate accolade for hotels in the UK. It is awarded to hotels that are recognised as being outstanding examples in their particular market. From the small family-run hotel to the most ambitious commercial ventures, hotels of every size and style are potential winners.

The Dorchester, London 

One of London's finest, The recently refurbished Dorchester remains one of the best-loved hotels in the country.

The spacious bedrooms and suites are beautifully appointed and feature fabulous marble bathrooms; now refurbished, they are setting a new benchmark in luxury.

Leading off from the foyer with its stunning floral displays, the reinvented Promenade is the perfect setting for afternoon tea or drinks. In the evening, guests can relax to live music, while enjoying a cocktail in the Vesper bar.

Award-winning dining options include the sophisticated Chinese restaurant, China Tang (2 AA Rosettes); Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester (4 AA Rosettes) and The Grill by Tom Booton (3 AA Rosettes). Guests can also enjoy first class spa facilities, and spectacular pastries combined with floral displays at Cake & Flowers.
