The Savoy Hotel

Overview

The Savoy was the first purpose-built deluxe hotel in London, setting new standards for luxury, comfort and service unheard of in the hotel world of the day. As the first 5* accommodation of its type, it was a magnet for the wealthy, the famous, the glamorous, and even the notorious; their stories have accrued over the decades to become part of the legend of this truly unique. The Royal Family are often seen here for both public duty and private enjoyment. The Queen herself has enjoyed visits to the hotel for over 70 years. The hotel recently closed for three years to embark on a top to toe renovation and emerged as one of the most decadent and stylish hotels in the world. Be sure to sample a drink at The American Bar, the oldest surviving cocktail bar in Britain and regularly named as the world's best.
