The Savoy’s magnificent collection of 267 rooms and suites are decorated in either Edwardian or Art Deco styles and stuffed with modern amenities. My River View Suite oozed with British charm in soft pastel tones that blend seamlessly with hand-painted wall coverings and fabrics that wrap the suite in a warm, homey feel. Designer Pierre Yves Rochon utilized lots of antique furnishings in the Edwardian suites to remind guests they are sleeping with history. However, he also uses black and white checkered tiles at the entrances and bathrooms of every Savoy room as a nod to the hotel’s Art Deco roots. The combination works amazingly well. Not a dime was spared turning The Savoy into London’s best hotel. No wonder the renovation was almost 18 months late and more than $200 million over budget. A new spa, gym and indoor pool were also added during the renovations and each qualifies as the finest among London’s all-star cast of five-star hotel properties. Service is what sets The Savoy apart from London’s other luxury properties, and it all starts with the hearty welcome guests get from the doormen who guard the entrance. Doorman Tony Harvey is one of the longest serving members of staff, a 30-year veteran, and is actually referred to as a “linkman” because “we link the outside world to the hotel. Doorman makes it sound like we are bouncers at a club,” he once told a reporter. The Savoy is a quick cab ride away from the high-end shops of Knightsbridge and Mayfair and surrounded by some of the most famous of London’s theatres, including Covent Gardens. Trafalgar Square and Pal Mal, which leads to Buckingham Palace, are just down the street, and neighbouring Waterloo Bridge links the left and right banks of the Thames. The spotlight is clearly on The Savoy these days because the legendary property is indeed the all-star of London’s hotel scene. For more information, visit www.toureast.com.
