About The Savoy
Edwardian rooms in gray and tangerine and Art Deco rooms in gold and caramel give The Savoy two distinct visual identities, reflecting the eras that shaped it. The theatrical connection runs deeper than the decor: the hotel was built to accommodate travelers coming to see Gilbert and Sullivan at the Savoy Theatre. Today, its private approach off the Strand puts Covent Garden and the West End within a short walk, while river-facing rooms look across the Thames. Inside, floral sculptures rise above the lobby’s black-and-white marble floor, afternoon tea unfolds beneath Gallery’s glass dome with live piano, and the American Bar makes cocktails part of the hotel’s enduring social life.
Why Celebrities Love The Savoy
There is a pleasing theatricality to choosing The Savoy for a London engagement. A cocktail in the American Bar and dinner in the Grill turn the hours around a performance or premiere into part of the occasion. River-view accommodation gives the city a quieter, more expansive face in the morning.
