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 team:

  • Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024, 2025 & 2026
  • One AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence, The Potting Shed, 2024
