New Websites
The Dorchester Group has also launched five new hotel websites that each takes reservations via TrustBooker,
and plans to introduce a new Group website later this summer. The individual hotel websites are designed to
reflect the understated elegance and luxury of the group’s properties, and at the same time to highlight the
individuality of each. Black and white “hero shots” unique to each hotel, and backgrounds of the specific
signature colours associated with each property maintain stylish group synergy, while showcasing the unique
aspects of each hotel.

New GDS Code/Sales & Marketing Structure
This is in addition to the successful introduction in April of the Dorchester Group’s new private label GDS code
– DC – which received over 6,000 travel agent entries for its launch contest, as well as the substantial increase in
its sales and marketing presence with sales offices and representation in the U.S., the U.K., Russia and Japan.
As the only luxury hotel group with such a prominent portfolio of grand hotels, the Dorchester Group’s stated
goal is to grow its brand into one that is synonymous with the ultimate in prestige and comfort as it expands by
both property acquisitions as well as through management contracts for hotels that complement the existing
collection.
Dorchester Group Global Development Director Ricci Obertelli said, “Following an extensive brand positioning
exercise, and the setting up of a robust distribution and sales structure worldwide, we are now able to support
our strategic plans for growth, which will be announced in detail later in 2006, when we reveal our new corporate
identity.”
