We stayed one night at The Dorchester Hotel in Collingwood in a King Room, and it was a wonderful experience. Being a statutory holiday, most guests had left, so the hotel was pleasantly quiet.
The room was spotlessly clean – bravo to housekeeping! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the decor and aesthetics of the room were elegant and thoughtfully done. It’s clear the hotel has been beautifully restored and renovated.
Thoughtful in-room amenities included bottled water, a Nespresso machine with pods, and a wide range of bathroom products – shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, shower cap, mending kit, and vanity items like cotton pads and ear swabs (wish I’d known – could’ve packed lighter!). Bathrobes were provided, but note that you’ll need to bring your own slippers.
Access to the room and hotel is done via a digital link sent to your phone, which unlocks your room and hotel doors. After 8pm, there's no front desk staff, so your phone is essential for coming and going. The link expires upon checkout.
All in all, a stylish, comfortable stay with thoughtful touches and a seamless modern check-in experience. I’d absolutely return and highly recommend it!
