The yellow matches a signature Dorchester colour used since the hotel opened in 1931. Parcafé opened in September 2015 serving Alchemy coffee from south London, with food prepared by chefs from The Dorchester and 45 Park Lane.
The entrance is on the hotel forecourt, under a yellow-and-white striped awning, and full-height windows look onto Park Lane and the plane trees of Hyde Park. Inside, a wall of carved walnut leaf tiles runs behind the seating.
