Description
Perched along the Thames in the heart of London, The Savoy is a grand dame of hospitality, where history meets high society with a wink and a bow. Opened in 1889 by impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte, it was the first luxury hotel in Britain, pioneering innovations like electric lights and en-suite bathrooms, much to the amazement of its early guests. The Savoy quickly became a magnet for the glitterati—think Oscar Wilde, Marilyn Monroe, and Winston Churchill, all mingling over martinis in its gilded halls. Today, The Savoy continues to dazzle, blending its storied past with a modern flair, all while maintaining that cheeky charm that says, "Yes, we’re fancy, but we’re also fun."
The hotel offers 267 accommodations, with a mix of Edwardian and Art Deco styles. The dining options are the following:
- Restaurant 1890 by Gordon Ramsay, fine-dining cuisine
- Savoy Grill, an iconic restaurant by Gordon Ramsay, offering classic British and French cuisine
- Simpson's in the Strand, a historic British restaurant known for its traditional roast meats and classic British dishes, served in a grand, wood-paneled dining room
- Thames Foyer, the heart of The Savoy, where you can enjoy the famous afternoon tea under a stunning glass dome with live piano music
- American Bar, one of the world’s most famous cocktail bars
- Beaufort Bar, a lavish Art Deco bar with live music
