About Us
Our very first opening, and the
hotel where Tim and Kit Kemp's vision for Firmdale Hotels began, Dorset Square
Hotel occupies a handsome Regency building overlooking the garden square that
was once the site of Thomas Lord's original cricket ground. Set in the
charming, residential heart of Marylebone, it's surrounded by some of the
capital's finest independent shops, cafés, restaurants and historic buildings.
At its heart is The Potting Shed,
our much-loved bar and restaurant, which brings its own warmth and character to
this already special address. There's a real sense of history and heritage to
this place, and a warmth that comes from being where it all started. To work at
Dorset Square is to be part of that story, and to help write the next chapter
through the care and dedication you bring to every guest experience.
You'll be joining an award-winning
