Hotel The Savoy, London
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.
“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.”
“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.”

Short but sweet
I loved the luxury feel of the hotel the staff were really nice and friendly the room which we upgraded was spacious they had set up a bed and the cutest little bathrobes and slippers for my children
Being very picky I didn’t like the set up of the room the tv was tucked away in the corner we couldn’t really watch it the ac made the room very cold and there wasn’t a douche in the toilet

Superb location at an iconic building
- comfort of bed mattress/pillow - reactivity of housekeeping - location - cleanliness - soundproofing of the room - useful and reactive concierge
- few water refill in room - few bathroom amenities - price point vs competition

A special treat for my 70th birthday.
Fitness suite; complimentary drinks in mini bar fridge; wonderful shower; special touch, such as leaving a small hand cream on bed while we were out!

Absolutely brilliant
As always, the Savoy exceeds it's own reputation. Pure luxury, and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The room was spacious, the bed incredibly comfortable. Just a wonderful place to stay.
The concierge assumed that we weren't residents, but soon made up for that mistake.

A remarkable, historic hotel with that old world magic.
The atmosphere, location and the staff were the absolute highlights of my stay.
The pool was small and the spa/fitness area felt a bit dated, but that's a minor minus.

The food in the riverside restaurant and the gallery was outstanding 👌😋

Absolutely gorgeous
Lovely breakfast and atmosphere… lovely staff Although I had ate my breakfast by the time my mum had received hers Not sure what happened but I had to ask them where my mums breakfast was
Didn’t realise there was an accommodation service charge an additional charge on top of the price we paid As all the drinks had service charge and vat on so didn’t really understand why that wasn’t explained to us really

Very good
Location is brilliant, rooms are lovely,
Having stayed once before we found this year some of the staff were very abrupt, we were turned away from one of the bars for lunch, the staff member looked me up and down and assumed I was not suitable, until my wife said we were staying in the hotel, them amazingly we were then offered a table. At dinner we were left waiting 10 minutes before being shown to table, you would expect to be taken to your table much sooner, no where to sit to wait and not even asked if we wanted to wait at the bar and have a drink, you just stand in the corner. At breakfast I ordered my eagerly waited for Arnold Bennett, it arrived and it was so overcooked it was stuck to the pan! Dissapointing, told the waiter and he just mumbled, ordered another coffee and it took 25 minutes to arrive, so service wasn't the best. Minor issues i know but when you pay the big money your paying for service.

Fabulous
This is without doubt the best hotel we have stayed in London. The Christmas decor was spell binding. The front desk were professional and couldn’t do enough to meet our needs. The property oozes class, charm and English Christmas spirit.
We did not receive a glass of fizz on arrival which would have been a nice touch however we did arrive three hours before the allotted checkin time and the hotel accommodated us on arrival. So to conclude I am not sure if a glass of bubbles is standard for those who check in at the correct time.

Lives up to its reputation - a glorious experience.
It’s all wonderful: great location, the staff are friendly and professional, beautiful building, comfortable rooms. The staff manage to create an atmosphere which is relaxed but also 100% attentive to guests needs.

Treated like Royalty
From the minute you arrive to the minute you leave nothing is too much trouble . From Tony and Michael at front of house to Ben on reception the welcome was warm and genuine . The residents lounge is lovely and Hannah and Teng are so friendly and helpful . Rooms are spacious , spotless and so comfortable . Turndown service is a nice touch . We was lucky enough to be staying when the Christmas decorations went up and they are stunning . American bar is great and service excellent . We finished off with Sunday Lunch at the Savoy Grill and it was superb. Fantastic stay and one we shall repeat

The food was excellent and the decor was beautiful some of the staff was excellent
The person cleaning the room was a little over zealous she folded my underwear from shelves and put my dress shoes on top rather odd but the manager left us a bottle of wine

Great experience in this iconic beautiful hotel, with gorgeous rooms while some minor improvements could make it perfect
Excellent staff, great service.
We had a room facing inside, where we were bothered at night by some noise from the aircon units there. Also the hot water pressure in the shower was so low that with a comfortable temperature set, the handheld shower head didn’t even spray when held “downside up”.
