## About

Few hotels carry the weight of history quite like The Savoy. Since opening its doors in 1889, this Thames-side institution has welcomed everyone from Winston Churchill to Frank Sinatra, and it remains one of London's most compelling addresses. The 268 rooms and suites are split between Edwardian and Art Deco styles — both executed with real conviction, featuring marble bathrooms and carefully integrated modern technology that never interrupts the period atmosphere. Many rooms look directly out over the river, which, particularly at dusk, is as good a view as London offers. The location puts you within easy walking distance of Covent Garden and the Royal Opera House, with Knightsbridge and Mayfair just twenty minutes away by Tube.

Eating and drinking here deserves serious attention in its own right. The hotel is home to three Gordon Ramsay restaurants, including the storied Savoy Grill, alongside Gallery — a handsome all-day space where the afternoon tea alone justifies a visit. Then there's the American Bar, which has been mixing cocktails since the 1890s and still does it better than almost anywhere else in the city. The Beaufort Bar, darker and more theatrical in feel, is worth an evening of anyone's time.

Beyond the rooms and restaurants, the hotel offers a full-service spa, an indoor pool, and a fitness center — useful amenities that feel genuinely considered rather than tacked on. The Savoy is the kind of place that could easily coast on its reputation, but it doesn't. The staff, the food, and the physical fabric of the building all suggest a hotel that still takes its job seriously after well over a century of practice.
