The Savoy

On Saturday, the 12th of May, I celebrated recently turning seventy with my wife and two of our daughters in the famous American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London. I wanted to wait for a special occasion before booking a table at this iconic bar. That is my only regret. I wish I had visited this Oasis of style, calm and beauty much sooner, from the superb professionalism of the staff who gave us a wonderful welcome and were charming and attentive, without being intrusive throughout our time there. With the superb singer covering many classic favourites, our evening will be a special memory we won't easily forget. Minutes from the theatres and the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden. I urge anyone visiting London, or living in London as I do. Do not make my mistake and put off that special evening. I can`t wait to return.

Booked two rooms for 3 nights for a 70th birthday celebration. We were delighted to be upgraded on arrival to 2 Luxury King rooms overlooking the River Thames. We booked a rate including breakfast and the service was exceptional each morning. We were very warmly welcomed each day which was a nice start to the day. We enjoyed cocktails in the American Bar and this was as special as always. My friend who was celebrating her 70th birthday was blown away by the hotel. Special thanks to Labrini for making our stay special.

Had a great afternoon tea experience here celebrating our friend Bens birthday, Rachel who looked after us was amazing, she made sure we had everything we needed to make our afternoon memorable. The selection of sandwiches and food were also great and our dietary requirements taken care of, combined with the ambiance of The Gallery an amazing afternoon.

This was my first solo trip since being widowed and the first one ever for leisure not business purposes. I ate in the Gallery restaurant and had a drink in the American bar. All the staff were friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable. The service was excellent from getting out of the taxi to checking out. I felt well looked after. I have just booked to return next year and may well book another visit later in the year. Thank you to all the staff for making my stay so enjoyable.

After planning this trip for over a year for my 40th birthday, we were devastated when our train was delayed by over 6 hours and thought the whole day would be ruined. Thankfully, from the moment we arrived at The Savoy for afternoon tea, the staff could not have been more incredible. They were warm, attentive and genuinely went above and beyond to make the experience special despite our stressful journey. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, but it’s the level of service that truly sets The Savoy apart. Every detail felt thoughtful and the whole experience was everything we had hoped it would be and more. The food and drinks were exceptional and made the day feel truly memorable. A huge thank you to everyone who made my 40th celebration so special.
