Dorland Hotel

The Dorland Hotel is a Grade II listed hotel, originally a terrace of grand houses, built around 1840, likely by architects William King and William Kingdom. The building is constructed of stucco and features some slate mansard roofs. It has four storeys, with full attic storeys in the central six bays and some attic mansards. Each house unit is two windows wide, with the central six bays and the end four bays slightly set forward, showcasing rusticated quoins. The ground floor has channelling, and there are projecting Greek Doric porches at the ends, featuring widely spaced paired columns, which may be an alteration. A continuous bombé balcony runs along the first floor, where the windows are pedimented and flanked by fluted Corinthian columns. The second floor windows are corniced, and all windows above the ground floor have architraves, with sash and plate glass. A guilloche band is present above the second floor, and there is a rich dentil cornice above the third floor, along with a subsidiary cornice for the central houses' attic. Cast iron area railings are also featured. The building has similar architectural treatment on its left and right returns, while the rear elevation has been rebuilt. The Dorland Hotel is an integral part of the grand scheme of houses along Westbourne Terrace.
