The admirable actress Elizabeth Taylor was endowed with extraordinary charm. Thanks to her roles and personal interest in many worthy causes, she was one of the most iconic and influential women of the 20th century. For a time, The Dorchester and The Beverly Hills – part of the Dorchester Collection of hotels – also became her home. Now you too can visit the places that are imbued with the unique moments of her life.

Luxury with Rooftop View

In London’s Dorchester hotel, the largest rooftop suite became the temporary home of the famous actress. It exudes the charm of celebrities. Its luxury is inconspicuous, but all the more appreciated. It is based on clean lines, many glassed-in areas, marble and onyx. There is a beautiful terrace along one side of the suite. You can walk out on to it through French doors and enjoy the wonderful views of Hyde Park. You can also see the terrace from the dining room, where eight friends can sit around a beautiful mahogany table. During a private dinner, they will be gently illuminated by the crystal chandelier.

Turning Point
The suite has two bathrooms. In the one, glistening with pink marble, in 1959 Elizabeth Taylor learned that she had been offered the title role of Cleopatra. The road to iconic glory began. After all, Elizabeth herself requested some modifications to this bathroom, and so it still bears the seal of her sense of beauty.

Hollywood Privacy
Another place imbued with the charm of Elizabeth Taylor is Bungalow No. 5 in the Beverly Hills Hotel. Many celebrities from the Hollywood film studios have taken refuge in this hotel. The enchanting "Cleopatra" bungalow is the largest of all. It has a private terrace, swimming pool and jacuzzi. Everything is adorned in soft shades of pleasant colours, in combination with gold and citrine.

Comfort in the Midst of a Garden
Elizabeth Taylor once called this bungalow her home. You will understand at first glance why this was the case. Despite being in the centre of the famous city, you will enjoy open views and the air saturated with the scent of flowers. It is surrounded by 12 acres of gardens with tropical greenery and locally grown palm trees. In the bungalow, like Elizabeth, you will get the most restful beauty sleep possible on the large comfortable bed with custom-made cotton sheets. In the huge iconic marble bathroom, you can practise your Oscar-winning speech at the double washbasin and mirror.
