PB hotel design editorial

Facing the Thames from Victoria Embankment, where Cleopatra's Needle stands sentinel on the riverbank below, the white Portland stone facade of the Savoy has commanded this stretch of London since 1889 — making it the first luxury hotel in Britain to offer electric lights and lifts throughout. Built on the site of the medieval Savoy Palace by impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte, with later Edwardian additions overseen by architects T.E. Collcutt and Arthur Mackmurdo, the property carries two distinct architectural personalities: the art deco entrance court on the Strand side, famously the only road in Britain where traffic drives on the right, and the Embankment elevation visible here, its mansard roofline and Beaux-Arts detailing illuminated warmly against the dusk. The 267-room interior holds both registers in productive tension. Some suites follow the deeply traditional English country house manner — mahogany four-poster beds with serpentine headboards, crystal chandeliers suspended from plaster ceiling medallions, floral silk curtains in soft blues and pinks. Others, decorated by Pierre-Yves Rochon during the £220 million restoration completed in 2010, strike the more graphic note visible in the river-facing bedroom shown here: white panelled walls with lit display niches, dark walnut floors, and a burnt-orange geometric bedspread against cream linen. The Beaufort Bar and American Bar carry the deco sensibility forward, while the panelled dining room — its gilded plasterwork ceiling and red leather tub chairs unchanged in spirit since Escoffier cooked here — remains one of the great period rooms of London hospitality.

"I have stayed here several times, but this was by far the best stay in a long time. The tone was set by the best doormen in the industry, Tony, and Genchi. They always want to give you the best experience of the hotel. We had a newly refurbished one bedroom river view suite, which was stunning, I love the new colours, and furniture, and pops of orange. And automatic curtains- amazing! One of the best services which everyone receives is the turn down service, simple, but effective. You come back to your room after an evening out to find your lights dimmed, curtains closed, slippers out and by your bed, with fresh water. You can also leave your outside your door in the evening, and in the morning , they are returned polished, and ready for another day . It is all these little extra touches that make the hotel so special. Along with their truly dedicated staff."

"Always wanted to visit the American Bar & it did not disappoint. Lovely couple of cocktails served to us by the excellent & extraordinary Josh who looked after us & gave advice on what cocktails we might enjoy. Thank you . Great visit & look forward to the next one. Regarding breakfast if you don’t try the Arnold Bennett omelette you will kick yourselves. Expensive ? Yes . Utterly delicious & one of the nicest things ever ? Yes, yes , yes . Looking forward to forward to my next visit ."

"My fiancé and I visited The Gallery Restaurant yesterday evening with friends, one of whom was belatedly celebrating his 50th birthday (as we had gifted him a Savoy voucher). Our friend booked the Afternoon High Tea at 6pm for the four of us to enjoy together. We were welcomed by Leah on arrival and promptly shown to our table before then being introduced to Archie who was our main waiter for the evening. We all chose our fresh teas and a cocktail to start with (albeit the Berry Royale was surprisingly disappointing and in hindsight my fiancé & I should’ve chose a glass of the Rosé Nyetimber instead). The Afternoon High Tea was delicious: delicately tasty finger sandwiches to start with followed by the High Tea option of a cannon of lamb (which was tasty but very small). We finished with the pastries selection consisting of fruit and plain scones (with strawberry jam, clotted cream and lemon curd) and some sweet treats including a chocolate option. Three of our group had specific dietary requirements, which were catered for with ease throughout the meal. However the highlight for us was Archie’s attention to detail throughout our evening: his service was exemplary was exemplary and he is a real asset to The Savoy. Thank you Archie for looking after the four of us. The meal was expensive but it was such a treat to be able to celebrating life & love with our friends (who chose the evening to belatedly celebrate our engagement with us too as well as our friend’s 50th birthday). I highly recommended visiting The Savoy as it is a hospitality icon in London and a visit to The American Bar is a must too."

"Stayed here for one night for a special occasion. We had such a great time there aren’t enough words to describe it. From arrival to departure we were looked after by friendly and helpful staff members in all areas of the hotel. The decor is stunning, very calming and luxurious. The American Bar is a delightful area, drinks are served with tasty snacks and the ambience is relaxing. Our room was amazing, the bed extremely comfortable and the bathroom very spacious. Breakfast was delicious in a beautiful setting served by super staff. Fantastic experience, thank you to everyone."
