The Savoy

The Savoy, a hotel icon on the banks of the Thames in London

The Savoy is a five-star hotel located on Savoy Court, a private road in central London, next to the River Thames and a short walk from Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. It presents itself as the only five-star hotel on the river in the city and, according to its own description, offers authentic Thames views, a feature that is rare among London hotels. Its history dates back to 1889 and is linked to the world of theatre: the building was constructed to serve the audiences of the Savoy Theatre, which gave the hotel its name.

Accommodation: rooms and suites with views

The hotel has rooms and suites designed with care in the heart of London. Many of them offer panoramic views of the Thames or the city skyline. The accommodation categories include rooms, suites and signature suites, all accompanied by a service the company describes as polished and intuitive, forged over more than a century.

History and heritage

Founded in 1889, The Savoy has witnessed London's history for more than 135 years. Actors, icons, members of royalty and original personalities have passed through its corridors. The company highlights that the spirit of its early years — innovation, glamour and character — still defines the hotel today. Its history is intertwined with the world of theatre and the performing arts, and it has maintained a leading role in the city's social and cultural life. The hotel publishes a monthly concierge guide, 'The Savoy edit', with recommendations on exhibitions, shows and places of interest in London, put together by its concierge team.

Location and surroundings
