Going for silver

The Dorchester hotel is not only a fabulous place for a party, but its spa hosts some of the best treatments I have tried in London. The Carol Joy London facials are astonishingly good and I recommend them to future brides. Her new Silver Glow Facial uses the antibacterial, replenishing and rejuvenating power of silver leaf in this clever treatment (which also involves relaxing massage), leaving skin radiant, and ready to party. £260 (020–7898 9880; www.dorchestercollection.com)
