10 Reasons We Love The Savoy Hotel in London

 Access to London’s top attractions 

The Savoy Hotel is centered in the heart of the West End theatre and art district, but that isn’t all you have to do while you’re there there. A trip to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, a stroll through London’s immense park system, and a shopping escapade to Oxford Circus are all easy daytrips from The Savoy.

Butlers, at your service

Ensuring all guests’ needs are met and exceeded is the top priority for staff of The Savoy, so much so that all the hotel’s butlers must graduate from the exclusive Butler Academy — the first of its kind. Whether you need help booking a private tour, making dinner reservations, or requesting a special wake-up call, the Savoy’s butlers are well equipped to handle just about any request you throw at them.

A theatrical twist on classic cocktails

Located on the hotel’s former cabaret stage, The Beaufort Bar creates cocktail masterpieces that are works of art within themselves. Drawing inspiration from their theatrical setting and West End location, The Beaufort Bar’s pop-up menu is as playful and as unique as its drinks. For the full experience, come on the first Sunday of the month for their Burlesque show and try one of the signature cocktails embodying the personality of the performers.

Cruising the Thames in style

Seeing Big Ben, Parliament, and the Clock Tower on land is so blase. Located on the bend in the Thames and nearby Savoy Pier, The Savoy has prime real estate for a day out on the water, and thanks to their partnership with Woods’ Silver Fleet, the hotel offers luxury cruises on one of their three yachts in the summer months. Make the day even more special by calling ahead to request a bottle of champagne and a Kaspar Fruit de Mer hamper upon arrival.  

Retreating to the spa

After a busy day touring London’s landmarks, a full day at the spa is just what the doctor ordered. In celebration of its 125^th anniversary this year, the Savoy spa team has created a special 125-minute massage with 125 different movements to ensure you leave feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Excessive? Maybe. Awesome? Definitely.

Spend a winter evening skating at Somerset House

Summertime at the Savoy is sweet, but winter is simply magical. From mid-November to mid-January, visitors can spend a romantic evening skating at one of London’s finest buildings, the Somerest House, which is also home of London Fashion Week.  With several packages available, make your ice-skating date even more special by preluding it with a visit to Fortnum and Mason’s for champagne and chocolate. 

Treat yourself to High Tea

Elegance and charm come hand-in-hand when you sit down for Afternoon Tea within the Thames Foyer. A relaxing way to break up the day, indulge in tea cakes, finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries while a pianist serenades you under the pictureque winter garden gazebo. 

Explore the Covent Garden Market

Three markets converge within the vibrant Covent Garden Market, allowing you to easily spend a day shopping for antiques, crafts, and artwork. An easy walk from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery, Covent Garden Market would also make for a stress-free pre-show dinner outside the West End.

Enjoy modern day comforts in timeless splendor

Complete with butlers and beautifully appointed rooms, a stay at The Savoy is the ideal way for you and your family to enjoy all London has to offer in a picture-perfect setting.
