Rough Guide "Gorgeous boutique hotel... housed in a converted French hospital in a characterful location."
Michelin Guide "Popular with those of a theatrical bent. Boldly designed, stylish bedrooms."
Frommer's "The phrase we hear most often from guests who've stayed here is "expensive, but worth it"." Full review
Concierge "Quiet, intimate luxury... whose only extravagance is its uncanny grasp of what its guests want: to be left at peace and in great comfort."
Fodor's "It's little wonder this is now the London home-away-from-home for off-duty celebrities, actors, and style mavens." Full review

"There’s an excellent bar-restaurant called Brasserie Max just off the lobby, and two stunning guest lounges with fireplaces on the 1st floor that come into their own in the winter." Full review

Rough Guide "Dripping with history, it’s as glamorous can be, with amazing decor throughout, classic bars... a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and gorgeously comfortable rooms."
Michelin Guide "Reopened in 2010 following a 3 year restoration, its luxurious bedrooms and stunning suites come in an Edwardian or art deco style."
Concierge "The part-Edwardian, part–Art Deco building on the Strand in central London is an ideal spot to stay when in town for sightseeing."
Fodor's "One of London's most famous hotels has emerged from a £220 million renovation, and the old girl is looking like a superstar again." Full review

"This was, after all, the original luxury hotel, or at very least the original London luxury hotel, a hotel whose influence is positively Beatlesque, if you’ll forgive the comparison." Full review
Time Out "Loved by generations of visitors for its discreet mix of Edwardian neo-classical and art deco." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This legendary hotel was an afterthought. Richard D’Oyly Carte capitalized on the success of his Savoy Theatre by providing a place to stay."
Star Service "Most guests looking for something special should opt for river-view suites or rooms with the unobstructed views of the Thames, London Eye, Parliament and Big Ben. " Full review
Gayot "Situated close to both the city and the West End... The Savoy enjoys a spectacular position facing the Thames and overlooking Embankment Gardens."
Travel + Leisure "When the Savoy opened in the heart of the theater district in 1889, it introduced many hotel firsts: the use of electricity, en-suite bathrooms, and elevators." Full review
