One of London’s most famous landmarks, The Savoy Hotel has been a British icon since 1889. There are 267 bedrooms (200 bedrooms and 67 suites) in two distinctive styles and various sizes. Nestled on the bank of the Thames, the Riverview suites offer sweeping 180° views down the river, including to Big Ben, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge.
This 5 star luxury hotel offers a private courtyard/driveway arrival down the famous Savoy Court.
The beauty and fitness centre includes a swimming pool directly beneath the central atrium, meaning the pool area is flooded with bright natural daylight.
There are three restaurants. The River Restaurant has been recently refurbished and is a bright, polished and modern dining setting with exclusive panoramic views across the Thames and Victoria Embankment Gardens. The Savoy Grill continues to be the restaurant of choice for some of the world’s most famous faces. The restaurant is designed after the original Art Deco restaurant in the 1920s, with accents of red, gold and light pink hues. The American Bar and Beaufort Bar are the Savoy’s two award-winning bars. Each bar is unique in style and décor. The Beaufort Bar has a theatrical Art Deco interior of jet-black and burnished gold décor and accents, situated on the hotel's former cabaret stage. The American Bar offers a more modern approach with natural daylight and intimate tables. The Thames Foyer is the heart of the hotel with a glass cupola overhead, allowing an abundance of natural daylight to flood in. The space is highlighted with a magnificent new winter garden gazebo, framing the centre of the room. It also offers a small stage for performances.
There are three Banqueting Rooms and six smaller Private Dining Rooms, in a mixture of Edwardian and Art Deco styles. The Mikado Room retains its original decor with Japanese prints and black-edged wooden panelled walls. The Princess Ida and Patience Room overlooks the Thames and the Pinafore Room still has its 1920s wooden panelling designed by Basil Ionides. The largest events space is The Lancaster Ballroom, which is 475 sqm and has a completely clear floor space with no obscuring columns. It benefits from its own in-built stage, with a proscenium arch, adding to the grandeur of the room.
The Edwardian and Art Deco buildings of the hotel are connected by a bridge over Savoy Way. There is a separate River Entrance on a quiet road as well as the main Strand entrance.
