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.”

It was a special treat for our Golden anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The breakfast was very good but being charged £7 for water was excessive.

Excellent food decor and staff
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”.

Incredible iconic hotel worth every penny
Beautiful hotel! The entrance is stunning and iconic. The service absolutely impeccable. They did everything they could to accommodate requests to make our stay and celebrations as special as possible. The pool and beauty facility is lovely as you'd expect (slightly surprised how small it is, but it was never crowded and the staff were great again). The location is obviously amazing - a stones throw away from the action of Covent Garden. You get your money's worth staying here which is saying something!
Not a negative so to speak, but we would have loved to have stayed on the river side for the views.

Luxurious iconic classic decor with excellent customer service
Decor very iconic and classy , high quality, staff excellent customer service. Luxury toiletries and bedding.
It would have been nice for a communal sauna and steam to share with my partner as they were separate in the male and female changing rooms

Brilliant as per usual! Thank you.
Everything was phenomenal as per usual: the duty manager at the reception—Abdullah Ismail was ever so kind,polite, caring and charming. He offered me an upgrate immediately. The restaurant evening with my guest was also fantastic. The room cleaning service was perfect: my needs were met instantly and still water and esspeso capsules of plenty were delivered within five minutes of my arrival. The gentleman at the frint foor are always so cheery, helpful, professional. Thank you for another great stay at this iconic hotel.
Noisy at the moment (from renovation of a historical building nearby).

Wonderful hotel & experience.
As it was a double birthday celebration, they upgraded us to a suite for free!! Soo thoughtful. Gorgeous room. Comfy beds. Very friendly staff. Wonderful decor. Reading room with free tea & coffee for guests.
Had dinner in the Grill. Lighting was too low. Waiter forgot to mention specials. Salad we ordered was forgotten. Starters were very good, chateaubriand was chewy.

Excellent
Our room, cocktails, dinner (the Beef Wellington experience) and breakfast were all excellent. A small but important change - after our visit last year, we commented how tasteless and disappointing the bread served at breakfast was (whilst praising everything else). This year sourdough had been added to the options. Thank you!
It was all excellent. We look forward to our next visit.
