The Royal Suite at The Dorchester has just opened and it’s billed as the perfect London nest for celebs, crowned heads and eastern potentates. The cost of an overnight stay — with breakfast — starts at £30,000. Meanwhile, it’s got little me.
It is, of course, enormous, occupying a whole corner of the eighth floor. But the important thing is that it’s got a butler to attend to the inmates. Ours, named Sean, is charming, but then so are all the people who bring breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, for I intend not to budge from here until I absolutely have to.
