About The Savoy
The Savoy is one of London's most iconic hotels, a landmark of Art Deco and Edwardian splendour on the Strand overlooking the Thames. Since opening in 1889, it has hosted royalty, Hollywood legends and heads of state. The hotel sits directly in the heart of theatreland — the Savoy Theatre is literally built into the building, and the Lyceum, Adelphi and Vaudeville theatres are all within a two-minute walk.
Rooms blend classic elegance with modern comfort, and the hotel's dining options are exceptional: Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill serves refined British cuisine, while the legendary American Bar — one of the oldest cocktail bars in Europe — is the perfect spot for a pre-show drink. The Thames Foyer serves a celebrated afternoon tea beneath a stunning glass dome. If you want the ultimate West End experience, there's nowhere quite like The Savoy.
