Expert reviews

CNN review:

“Perfectly located for the shops of Covent Garden and the cinemas of Leicester Square, The Savoy was Marilyn Monroe’s London hotel of choice and, if you can stretch to the £400-plus nightly fee, it can to become yours.”

Fodors review:

“The Savoy is a landmark structure deeply connected to London with a rich, glamorous history that tends to rub off on its guests. A favorite of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Charlie Chaplin, this grandest of grand dames is one of London’s oldest luxury hotels and might justifiably be called its finest.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in London.

Forbes review:

“Opened in 1889 as the first truly high-end hotel in Britain, The Savoy has been at the forefront of decadence ever since, having introduced a series of mod cons ranging from electric lighting to hot running water, en suite bathrooms to air-conditioning.”

Telegraph review:

“There is something deeply reassuring about The Savoy. In a world of constant change, the hotel retains a tangible sense of tradition, and its restaurants, among them the Gordon Ramsay-affiliated Savoy Grill and Simpson’s-in-the-Strand, maintain consistently high standards.”

Best Hotel in London

Everything. It is my “go to” hotel in London and it is perfect in every way. The staff is exceptional, and their service is top-notch. There’s not anything they won’t do for you. Shout outs to Tony, Rob, Michael - the best doormen anywhere in the world. Also to Caesar. The accommodations are also wonderful. I was upgraded to an art deco jr. suite and thoroughly enjoyed it! I felt ensconced in luxury. I dined at the Savoy Grill and every dish was superb.

Great location great hotel but unfortunately may not return

A last minute choice to stay whilst going to the theatre Room on small side but you know this when booking American bar was very nice and staff friendly

At breakfast you felt staff put you close to where they are serving from rather than show you to a great seat when the restaurant isn’t busy, also the table was a little small for water juice coffee pastries and your breakfast ( with hindsight should have asked for a better table )

Fantastic weekend treat while going to see shows.

The whole experience from the staff, facilities, the most comfy bed I have ever slept in! and breakfast included was brilliant. We had a blip with our room when I got there and Arthur was great at listening and taking time to give feedback and we got it resolved.

Only two things. When we got there are room was a twin but beds were together and then housekeeping came and moved them and put a table in the middle which made a huge difference, was just a completely different twin room to last time. The other thing was the optional service charge is added on every bill, even when just having one drink.

Location, Anna at reception was lovely and helped me in a pinch, room service was top notch, bellmen were great, martinis in the American bar were great, offered great gluten free options throughout the property, beds were comfy, rooms were well appointed, good mix of guests from all over the world

i will always go back, but avoid the new breakfast room its awful

its always perfect

a small outdoor terrace is needed for smokers of which there are a lot, having to stand outside the front in just bad. Hate the new modern breakfast room, colour design everything, looks like a cheap cruise ship lido, has no place in such an elegant building, they would never dream of doing that to the foyer so why ruin the beautiful traditional area where afternoon tea was such a lovely experience

This level of luxury and comfort needs to be a annual event for everyone.

The front of house Team (Ben I believe helped at check in) set the standard for our 2 night stay with such a welcome. The Savoy is not in my 'regular' budget but has been a long standing 'wish list' item and it was simply excellent from start to finish. The facilities, the team, the aroma even all to the highest standard i have experienced. Of course it had its own Penhaligon's toiletries too.

A hotel that actually hits perfection!

I was running the London Marathon and given this was my first time, my wife and I decided it would be wonderful to really push the boat out for the weekend so we saved up for a 2 night stay at The Savoy. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left, the service, attention to detail, helpfulness of the staff (huge shout out to Ben), was unlike anything we have ever experienced before. Our check in was 3.00pm and we arrived 15 minutes early, we were given a free drinks voucher for a glass of bubbles, whilst they ensured our room was ready. Our room was spacious and more than enough for 2 people. A complementary mini bar with light refreshments was stocked and the bathroom was enormous. The shower is something I could have stayed in all day. The real difference was the hotels support when it came to my marathon preparation. Upon arriving in my room I had a yoga mat and foam roller to help massage my legs prior to race day. A private message applauding me and wishing me the best of luck. They allowed me to freeze my hydration bottles the night before which given the heat of The London Marathon on the Sunday was a godsend as I was able to effectively run with 2 massive blocks of ice for the first 10 miles which kept me cool. They bought me up a bowl and jug of fresh milk so that I could have my breakfast in the morning. When I returned to the hotel wearing my medal, the staff gave me a round of applause, I got back to my room and they had printed off a my running statistics which was placed on the bed, they had made me a marathon medal out of chocolate and nuts, which was exactly what I needed after such a grueling race and also had showered me with bath salts and other recovery products that was just unexpected and so gratefully appreciated. Fine details like this is what makes an experience and I have simply never encountered this before and it is the best hotel we have ever stayed in by far.

Nothing could have been better, it genuinely was the perfect stay!

Fabulous

The Savoy never disappoints. I always feel like a million dollars and I always get a warm, friendly welcome from the staff who always recognise me. I have a disability and the attention to detail from the staff, especially Rob the doorman, is incredible in regards to my needs; Rob always remembers me and the fact that sometimes I use my wheelchair, and sometimes I will walk. I would never stay anywhere else and I always massively look forward to my next stay! Thank you The Savoy for always making me feel so special and comfortable.
