Vibe
Black cabs sweep along Britain's only right-hand-drive forecourt, ushering guests into a theatrical grand dame humming with cocktail shakers and live piano.
“Grand Strand institution”
A Grade II listed 1889 landmark pioneered by Richard D'Oyly Carte, César Ritz, and Auguste Escoffier.
Generations of unbroken tradition anchored by the American Bar and traditional silver-carving trolleys at Simpson's.
Dedicated Savoy butler service in suites alongside fine dining under Gordon Ramsay and historic afternoon tea.

Rooms
Restored Edwardian detailing frames the Strand side, while sleek Art Deco suites offer sweeping views across bends in the River Thames.
Wellness
A sunlit glass atrium arches over the indoor swimming pool, flanked by a sauna, steam rooms, and private treatment suites.
Backstory
Theatrical impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte founded the property in 1889 using box-office profits from his hit Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
Eat & drink
Sip classic martinis in the historic American Bar before dining at the Savoy Grill or taking afternoon tea beneath the Gallery dome.
The neighborhood
Covent Garden's theatres and cobblestone piazza sit moments away, while the rear entrance opens directly onto the Thames Embankment.
“The Savoy is arguably the original luxury hotel, or at very least the original London luxury hotel.”
“Today, the hotel retains its ability to keep pace with modern luxury while retaining the old-fashioned prestige and opulence…”
“…the hotel has no intention of becoming a dusty relic.”
