The Savoy
Grand historic glamour with genuine eccentricity. Think Art Deco gold, Edwardian ivory silk, liveried doormen, and a concierge who can get you into almost anything. This is not a minimalist design hotel — it's a statement. Dress up.
Book a River View suite for the dedicated butler — it's the same person from arrival to departure and genuinely makes the difference.
Why It Matters
Arguably the originator of the modern luxury hotel concept. César Ritz introduced electric lighting and en-suite bathrooms here in the 1890s. The American Bar invented the cocktail culture adopted by every great bar since. Churchill held war cabinet meetings here. The hotel is Grade II listed and a member of Historic Hotels of the World.
Opened in 1889, The Savoy is the hotel that essentially invented modern luxury hospitality — César Ritz ran it, Escoffier cooked in it, and everyone from Churchill to Sinatra slept in it. It sits on a private road off the Strand, one of the few London hotels with genuine Thames frontage (Monet painted the view from here in 1899). Today it's a Fairmont-managed property with 263 rooms and suites split between Edwardian and Art Deco styles, three Gordon Ramsay restaurants, the legendary American Bar, and a wellness floor with an atrium pool. A £220 million restoration was completed in 2010, and a further £45 million room refurbishment programme kicked off in 2024 and runs through 2027.

King · 34 sqmLuxury King Room
Refined Edwardian luxury with city, courtyard or partial Thames views. Bigger than the Deluxe tier, and the partial river glimpse on upper floors makes a real difference. Complimentary mini bar concealed behind mahogany cabinetry.
King · 34 sqmOne Bedroom Partial River View Suite
Separate living room and bedroom in either Edwardian or Art Deco style, with a Thames glimpse. A sensible step up from a Junior Suite when you want the living-room separation but don't need full river frontage.
King · 51 sqmOne Bedroom River View Suite
Large bedroom with en-suite marble bathroom featuring an indulgent claw-foot bath, separate sitting room, and entrance foyer — all with unrivalled panoramic Thames views. River View suite guests get a dedicated butler who handles every aspect of the stay, from arrival to packing.

The jewel of The Savoy. A spectacular procession of rooms facing the river — beloved by politicians, royalty, and Hollywood since the hotel opened. At 264 sqm, it's one of the largest hotel suites in London. Every conceivable luxury. Multiple rooms, river panoramas, dedicated butler.
King · 264 sqmSavoy Suite
A spectacular Art Deco masterpiece with commanding Thames views. Entrance foyer, master bedroom with en-suite and dressing room, and a residential-style lounge with fireplace and private bar. This is where you stay when you want to feel like you live in the best apartment in London.
King · 130 sqmSuperior Queen Room
The entry-level category, and still very much The Savoy. Decorated in either Edwardian or Art Deco style, these rooms sit over the peaceful courtyard. Compact by grand hotel standards, but the finish quality — marble bathroom, Penhaligon's amenities, Hansgrohe shower — punches well above the size.
Queen · 27 sqmTerrace Suite
The only suite with a private terrace — and that terrace looks directly at the Thames. Two bedrooms, sweeping river views, a small pantry, and the ability to connect to an adjacent One Bedroom Suite to create a full two-bedroom terrace arrangement. Arguably London's most coveted viewpoint.
Two King · 122 sqmTwo Bedroom Family Room
Two bedrooms connected — one with a king-size bed, one with two double beds — in elegant Edwardian style. City or courtyard views. Designed for families of three or four. Children get their own room, parents get theirs.
