Dorchester Collection owns and manages 9 luxury five star hotels: The Dorchester, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Plaza Athénée, Hotel Meurice, Principe di Savoia, Hotel Bel-Air, Coworth Park, 45 Park Lane and Hotel Eden. HistoryIn 1987, the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, bought the Dorchester Hotel and the Beverly Hills Hotel and then transferred the ownership to the Brunei Investment Agency in 1991.[3] The Audley Group, owned by the BIA, was established in 1996 to manage the hotels under one company. Later, the Audley Group became the Dorchester Group Limited.[3][4] The Dorchester Group Ltd. owns the Dorchester Collection which was established in 2006 to manage several luxury hotels in Europe and the United States. The Dorchester Collection manages 10 luxury hotels.[5][6][7] The hotels are a mix of wholly owned and part-owned hotels as the Dorchester Collection acquires them and manages them on behalf of third party owners.[5][6] Restaurants
ControversySultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, via his Brunei Investment Agency (BIA) owning the Dorchester Collection hotels, raised concern abroad in April 2014 by implementing the Sharia law penal code that includes death by stoning, the severing of limbs, and flogging for crimes in Brunei such as abortions, adultery, and homosexual acts. None are exempted from the Sharia Law regardless of the classes they are in and the laws only apply in Brunei's border. Brunei has a complex legal system that consists of two parts which involve separate courts and legislation for Islamic and non-Islamic citizens.[15] Sharia law exists alongside other normative systems and has been adopted by many other Muslim countries,[16] including Saudi Arabia which has major investments in the global hospitality industry, including stakes in the luxury hotel and resort operators Four Seasons and Fairmont, based in Toronto, Canada.[17][18]In protest, a United States national LGBT advocacy organization, the Gill Action Fund, canceled its reservation to hold a conference of major donors at the hotel and demanded a refund of its deposit. The hotel management responded by issuing a statement asserting that it does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.[19] Fashion designers Brian Atwood and Peter Som subsequently called for wider protests, urging the fashion industry to boycott all of the hotels owned by the Dorchester Collection.[20] The nearby Bel-Air Hotel is also a BIA Dorchester Collection property. Fashion designers Brian Atwood and Peter Som have called for wider protests, urging the fashion industry to boycott all of the hotels owned by the Dorchester Collection. The Beverly Hills Hotel, long a popular spot for celebrity functions, has been rejected by much of Hollywood over the controversy.[21] HR Magazine said that the protests are "misguided" and will not affect the government policy of Brunei when the Dorchester Collection's annual revenue is $300 million while the BIA has over $30 billion in assets from oil and gas.[22] Chief executive officer Christopher Cowdray asked the public to consider the issue at hand in a broader perspective, citing the fact that many brands are backed by foreign investors.[17] The U.S. national advertising-industry newspaper Adweek declared that "the bad press and protests have tarnished the glamorous image of the Beverly Hills Hotel, one of the most famous hotels in the world" and added that "such extreme brand damage will be difficult to repair."[23] As of May 2014, "more than $2 million worth of events have been canceled at the Beverly Hills Hotel by dozens of groups."[24] There have also been people speaking out in opposition of the protests and boycott of the hotel. Russell Crowe and Kim Kardashian have spoken out against the boycott, despite disapproval of the new laws in Brunei, citing how it is unfair to punish the hardworking employees and workers at the hotel.[25][26]In March 2019 when the Sultan announced the coming into force of the sharia law in question on 3 April 2019 George Clooney[27], Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres called again for a boycott of all hotels associated with him.[28] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/01823605|title=DORCHESTER GROUP LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House)|publisher=}} {{UK Hotels}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/01823605/filing-history|title=DORCHESTER GROUP LIMITED - Filing history (free information from Companies House)|publisher=}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.catererandhotelkeeper.co.uk/operator/33983|title=Dorchester Group|publisher=The Caterer|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/Company/AllDocuments/dorchester-group|title=Dorchester Group Limited|publisher=Companies in the UK|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.dorchestercollection.com/en/los-angeles/hotel-bel-air |title=Hotel Bel-Air|publisher=Dorchester Collection|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 6. ^1 {{cite web | url =http://www.hospitalitynet.org/brand/23000415.html | title=Dorchester Collection |publisher=Hospitality Net|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Tasty treats spice up summer at Dorchester Collection hotels from London to LA|publisher=Examiner|date=June 6, 2012|author=Patti Pietschmann}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dorchestercollection.com/en/london/the-dorchester/restaurants-bars|title=Restaurants & Bars|publisher=The Dorchester|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/154000320/4062203.html|title=Dorchester Collection to Manage Rome’s Iconic Hotel Eden|publisher=Hospitality Net|date=September 18, 2013|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestravelguide/2012/01/13/an-inside-look-at-wolfgang-pucks-new-restaurant-at-hotel-bel-air/ |title=An Inside Look At Wolfgang Puck's New Restaurant At Hotel Bel-Air|author=Forbes Travel Guide|publisher=Forbes|date=January 13, 2012|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://la-confidential-magazine.com/dining/articles/the-polo-lounge-beverly-hills-it-restaurant|title=See and Be Seen at The Polo Lounge|author=Eric Rosen|publisher=Los Angeles Confidential |accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cntraveller.com/recommended/food/gourmet-hotels-in-the-uk/page/coworth-park |title=Gourmet Hotels in the UK|publisher=Condé Nest Traveller|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 13. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/reviews/cut-at-45-park-lane-london-w1-6260021.html|title=Cut at 45 Park Lane, London W1|work=The Independent|author=Amol Rajan|date=November 13, 2011|accessdate=July 9, 2014}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://vivimilano.corriere.it/ristoranti/acanto-hotel-principe-savoia_1902736061124.shtml|title=Acanto dell'Hotel Principe di Savoia|publisher=VivaMilano|author=Valerio M.
