The Savoy

The Savoy occupies one of London’s great addresses, just off the Strand with Covent Garden on one side and the Thames on the other. The West End theatres, Trafalgar Square and Somerset House are all within an easy walk, while the South Bank is just across the river. It’s a superb location for exploring central London on foot.

The Savoy has been part of London life since 1889, blending elegant Edwardian interiors with glamorous Art Deco design. From the moment you arrive on Savoy Court, there’s a wonderful sense of occasion, backed by the polished service you would expect from one of the capital’s legendary hotels.

Rooms are styled in either Edwardian or Art Deco, with elegant furnishings and marble bathrooms. Some overlook the Thames and London skyline, and those river views are well worth seeking out. Dedicated two-bedroom Family Rooms are also available.

The heated pool sits beneath a light-filled atrium, with a jet stream for resistance swimming. There’s also a sauna, steam room, three treatment rooms and a well-equipped 24-hour gym, with personal training, yoga and Pilates available.

The Savoy is a destination for food and drinks in its own right. Savoy Grill brings old-school glamour, Restaurant 1890 offers Michelin-starred dining, and The River Restaurant overlooks the Thames. Then there’s afternoon tea and the legendary American Bar, one of London’s great cocktail institutions.
