The Dorchester's new look: New décor in The Promenade at The Dorchester hotel in London is part of its ground-floor makeover.

Dorchester lobby: Mirrors, gold leaf and black accents carry through much of the grand hotel's redesigned ground floor.

Tea is served: Afternoon tea service has returned to The Promenade, where sage green, pink and yellow evoke an English garden.

Artists' Bar: Toward the end of The Promenade, the new Artists' Bar showcases Liberace's mirrored piano.

Vesper Bar: Vesper Bar, designed by Martin Brudnizki, aims to evoke the "spirit and elegance" of the 1930s, the hotel said.

A quiet drink: Plush velvet seating in Vesper Bar creates an inviting spot for a beverage.

The Dorchester: The hotel opened in 1931. It is undergoing its biggest transformation in more than three decades.
