Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The Savoy opened in 1889 to cater to the audience from the adjoining Savoy Theatre. Built on a hill, the lowest point of the hotel is on the Embankment, overlooking the Thames and the highest on the Strand. Behind the Art Deco façade, the Front Hall, with its square columns and neo-classical frieze, reveals a world of impeccable service, afternoon tea, and dinner-dancing, peopled by celebrities, politicians, and high flyers in pinstripes.
Amenity highlights: Guests can take cocktails in the American Bar, where the Dry Martini is said to have been invented. The Thames Foyer, with real and trompe l'oeil marble columns and painted pastoral scenes, offers afternoon tea, with scones, sandwiches, and pastries set on elegant three-tiered dishes. The Lancaster Ballroom hosts receptions, conferences, and dinner dances in its stucco and gilded interior.
Insider tip: The Savoy theater is said to be the first public building fully lit by electricity in London. The hotel was equally innovative. The original red-lacquered ‘ascending room’ (elevator), one of the hotel’s most pioneering features, is still going strong today.

Dining
American Bar - Londoners and hotel guests have been sipping cocktails here since the 1890s. American barman Harry Craddock is reputed to have invented classic cocktails, such as the Dry Martini and the White Lady, in this bar in the 1920s. From 6 PM onwards, the bar is buzzing.
The Thames Foyer - A piano stands at the heart of the 120-cover Thames Foyer, with real and trompe l’oeil marble columns, and painted pastoral scenes. It is open throughout the day for breakfast, afternoon tea to live piano music, cocktails, and light snacks.
The Grill Room - Californian designer Barbara Barry created the new look of the Grill Room, while chef/patron Marcus Wareing set the culinary tone for the May 2003 reopening. The modern decor forms a strong contrast with the more traditional areas of The Savoy. Guests dine beneath a ceiling lined with silver and platinum wallpaper. Dishes include Roast Anjou Pigeon With Pan-Fried Foie Gras. On prior request, diners can enjoy private dining and the chef’s suggestions at a kidney-shaped table overlooking the kitchen.
