About Savoy Hotel London
Overview
Few hotels carry the weight of history and glamour quite like The Savoy. Opened in 1889 and now managed by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, The Savoy is a five-star icon that combines old-world opulence with modern luxury. It occupies a prime location on the Strand, moments from Covent Garden, the Thames Embankment, and The West End, making it one of the city’s most prestigious and conveniently placed hotels.
The hotel’s 267 rooms and suites reflect either Edwardian or Art Deco styling, offering plush furnishings, marble bathrooms, and high-end touches like Butler service for suite guests. Many rooms offer spectacular views over the River Thames, while others look onto the charming Savoy Court, the only street in the UK where vehicles drive on the right.
Dining is a major draw. Savoy Grill by Gordon Ramsay offers classic British and French fare, while the Thames Foyer hosts the hotel’s iconic afternoon tea under a glass-domed atrium. The American Bar, one of the oldest surviving cocktail bars in London, is world-renowned for its innovative drinks and live piano music. Guests can also enjoy The Beaufort Bar for a more theatrical cocktail experience.
Additional facilities include a private fitness suite, a tranquil indoor pool, and a spa offering massages and beauty treatments. The hotel also excels at hosting elegant events, from black-tie galas to intimate weddings.
Whether you're in town for theatre, shopping, or sheer indulgence, The Savoy delivers classic London luxury with flawless service and enduring charm.
