A Look Inside

Spacious, Elegant, and Full of Character

I toured several room categories, including the Superior and Deluxe Rooms, as well as the Savoy Suite—each beautifully styled in either Edwardian or Art Deco design. The rooms are spacious, a luxury in London, and many offer stunning Thames views. I love that most rooms can connect, making it a fantastic option for families looking for extra space without sacrificing elegance.

For those wanting the ultimate London luxury experience, The Savoy Suite starts at $15,000 per night (with a four-night minimum), while the Royal Suite—also known as the Gucci Suite—is a true penthouse-level experience.

Dining & Drinks

Some of London’s Best

One of the things that impressed me most about The Savoy was its culinary scene. With three Gordon Ramsay restaurants, including Savoy Grill, the dining here is world-class. The hotel is also home to The American Bar, the oldest cocktail bar in London, and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted drink with a side of history.

And, of course, afternoon tea at The Savoy is an absolute must. Served in the Thames Foyer beneath a stunning glass dome, it’s one of the most in-demand afternoon teas in London, so be sure to book well in advance.
