The Internet is no exception and we have recently appointed Aró as our internet partner to design, develop and market new websites for each of our hotels. To date, Aró have displayed all the main requirements that we would expect of a 5 star partner.

I am looking forward to the launch of our new websites later this year and to working with this dynamic company in expanding our online offering to our customers” Mr. Christopher Cowdray CEO, The Dorchester Collection.
