The Savoy Re-opens 10-10-10

The Savoy, a British icon since 1889, has undergone a £220 million restoration. Designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has honoured the hotel’s two original aesthetics, English Edwardian and Art Deco, creating something rather special.

The 268 guestrooms and suites are the last word in style, luxury and discreet technology with stunning views of London and the River Thames. Nine ‘signature suites’ have been styled after some of The Savoy’s most high profile guests while the newly created 2-bedroom Royal Suite is truly a suite fit for a king.

The Savoy continues the tradition of culinary excellence started by Auguste Escoffier, with the return of Gordon Ramsey Holdings to the Savoy grill and the reopening of the beloved River Restaurant. Legendary bartender Harry Craddock’s classic cocktails are still served in the newly renovated American Bar and the new Beaufort Bar offers champagne, cocktails and cabaret. The Savoy has played host to many historic events and the restored Banqueting and Private Rooms will once again see the great and the good return to The Savoy.

With an enviable location on the River Thames, the hotel is literally steps away from some of the world’s finest theatres, museums and opera houses, including the O2 Arena that can be accessed along the river, from Savoy Pier, in just 20 minutes. Its proximity to the City means The Savoy is ideally placed whether you are coming to London for business or pleasure.

Be one of the first to discover The Savoy with a special reopening package. Stay for two nights in one of the generously appointed suites and only pay £1 for the second night (the equivalent of 1 Guinea, the rate of a suite when the hotel first opened) –valid from the 12^th October 2010 until 28^th February 2011, subject to availability.
