An Enduring Legend on the River Thames
Over 135 Years of Timeless British Glamour, Theatrical Aristocracy, and Innovation
First opened on 6 August 1889 by theatrical impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte, The Savoy is universally revered as Britain's first luxury hotel. Standing proudly on the Northbank of the River Thames on the Strand, this world-renowned establishment hosts 267 opulent rooms and suites, each an authentic sanctuary of Edwardian and Art Deco refinement offering sweeping views across the Thames to the London Eye and Westminster.
Throughout its fabled history, The Savoy has been the London stage for royalty, prime ministers, artists, and screen legends—from Claude Monet painting the Thames from his balcony to Sir Winston Churchill dining at the Other Club. Culinary excellence has always been woven into The Savoy's DNA: legendary chef Georges Auguste Escoffier created Peach Melba here, and today Chef Gordon Ramsay commands three magnificent venues: the iconic Savoy Grill, the Michelin-starred Restaurant 1890, and The River Restaurant showcasing exceptional British seafood.
The hotel is also home to The American Bar, the longest surviving cocktail lounge in Great Britain and multiple winner of World's Best Bar, alongside the decadent gold and black drama of The Beaufort Bar. With discreet, intuitive Savoy Butler service, private wellness atrium pool, and coveted Fairmont hospitality, The Savoy remains the ultimate London address.
