Las Clementinas, Panama City
When we first went inside Las Clementinas in 2007, we had only a
vague idea how wonderful a property it was. Clearly her façade was
majestic and her gardens, with their twin 50-year-old 80-foot-tall palm
trees and remnants of the old city wall, called our attention. We knew a
bit of the history–how the gardens had been deed protected for the
“embellishment of the city” and had ultimately been lost to foreclosure
in the mid 20th century–but it wasn’t until we had spent six months
cleaning away decades of debris that we truly understood that the
building that the family of Sra. Clementina Herrera built in 1930 was
one of Casco Antiguo’s masterpieces.
After three years of work, we are proud to announce the public
opening of Las Clementinas Chambers, Café and Bar. Because her
structural bones were intact, we were able to maintain the same
distribution as Doña Clementina’s apartment building, which means that
each of Las Clementinas chambers is really an apartment unto itself,
with great space, light and views. While the spaces have kept their
classic feel, and many of the common area historic finishes were
recovered, the chamber interiors have been re-built completely with all
modern comforts.

45 Park Lane, London
As a part of Dorchester Collection, 45 Park Lane will act in a manner
founded on fair treatment of our people, responsiveness to the needs of
our guests, environmental responsibility, ethical business practice,
and by making a positive contribution to local communities. 45 Park
Lane has been considering corporate responsibility issues from the
start; in the hotels’ design, in our chosen partners, and in the way the
hotel will be managed once open in 2011.
This is evident in the redesign of the current concrete façade to
incorporate eco-friendly fins, which will diminish solar gain to the
building and significantly reduce the power required to run the air
conditioning system. Further environmental benefits will be gained by
sharing resources and initiatives with The Dorchester such as a ‘Turbo
Cor Compressor’ and a CHP boiler. These services will be carried
through a specially built underground tunnel running between the
properties that measures 3.5 metres in diameter, 10 metres deep and 120
metres long. The tunnels dimensions are a result of our efforts to
weave around the roots of the plane tree, one of London’s Great Trees
(source: Time Out) on The Dorchester’s forecourt.
