One of London's most prestigious hotels, The Dorchester, part of Dorchester Collection, has been a West End landmark since the 1930s; its elegant art deco architecture and world-class restaurants, including the three Michelin star Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, and sumptuous spa attracting an affluent clientele. Duchesses and princesses – even Queen Elizabeth II – have all been hosted while the penthouse Harlequin Suite was said to be a favorite home-away-from-home for Elizabeth Taylor.
In keeping with such elite and A-list credentials, the jet-setting and award-winning facialist Adeela Crown recently made The Dorchester Spa her new London base. For Crown, who spent nearly a decade honing her craft and sees clients at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo resort (she's also an on-set facialist for 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles), the exclusive residency marks her first collaboration with a London hotel.
With a reputation as the go-to skincare specialist for dignitaries and celebrities worldwide, Crown has worked her magic on the Jordanian and Qatari royal families, Lady Gaga, and British socialite Millie Mackintosh. Combining a hands-on holistic approach with high-performance therapies she likes to call 'tweakments' (think micro-needling and microcurrent radiofrequency therapies), no two facials are ever the same.
Another integral component across Crown's treatments is her celebrated Skindance technique – Indian 'face-yoga' skills that incorporate Hungarian massage, Chinese gua sha, and Japanese Asahi and Tanaka acupressure techniques. Heavenly and near-magical, her hybrid facials are famed for leaving clients with show-stopping skin.
Designed exclusively for The Dorchester Spa, Crown's range of high-performance facials include the 90-minute red carpet-inspired Crowning Glowry – a turbo-charged, science-based affair utilizing eight technologies to hydrate, volumize, re-sculpt, and brighten. While her 75-minute Skincredible treatment hydrates and energizes with cosmeceutical-grade resurfacing enzymes, alongside vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
With nine treatment rooms, not to mention London's only Spatisserie, an intimate space for guests to enjoy afternoon tea, champagne, and cocktails, The Dorchester Spa offers indulgent pampering in an opulent setting – think 1930s art deco glam with a modern edge.
