The Savoy

Deeply disappointed with our stay at The Savoy. After a long journey from India with an infant and elderly parent, we received no assistance on arrival. During afternoon tea, we felt treated differently from other guests despite paying the same, with noticeable differences in service and presentation. The lack of warmth and hospitality left us feeling undervalued. This experience fell far below expectations for a hotel of this reputation. Also asd hotel is not responsive at all to our needs specially we thinks their is a discrimination against colour was felt as a indian

Whilst celebrating a couple of significant birthdays we decided to pop into The Savoy to make our amazing day out just a little more special. I find The American Bar a touch dark so was delighted when we managed to get 4 seats at the bar by The River Restaurant. Ronan O couldn’t have been more attentive and ensured that we were very well looked after. It’s not cheap, however memories last a lifetime and to share this moment with a very dear friend and her daughters was very special. Highly recommended.

Booked this on recommendation from a friend. On arrival, we were greeted by the door men who opened our taxi and we went to the bar for pre afternoon cocktails. We were presented with the menu, given some nibbles and once the cocktails arrived which were lovely. The service, waiters and ambience was lovely. We then went into the after tea and ordered a bottle champagne with our afternoon tea. Again, service, waiters were friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. We felt very comfortable and the whole experience wasn’t rushed. After we finished, we decided to finish off the day with some more cocktails in the American bar, the bar was beginning to come alive with a lovely pianist playing and the bar had a lovely buzz and atmosphere. The foyer area was fresh, clean and had a beautiful aroma. This is an afternoon tea with a difference and would highly recommend. I’d been to other 5* afternoon tea and this is lovely, relaxed and friendly. If you’re thinking of doing this, please go something to be remembered

I would like to thank KYNDRA at The Savoy she was very PROFESSIONAL and RESPECTFUL to us upon applying and moving in she made our move in easy. I would like to give a special thanks to maintenance team also for coming out less then 24 hours to fix the MINOR things that needed their attention. But my biggest concern is the whomever it is that do the make ready cleaning upon move in needs to pay more detail attention to sliding doors with all the dirty grime in the door that dirt needs to be cleaned so the door can slide easy and clean the windows to make it look presentable for new tenants, but other than that everything else was GREAT The entire Savoy staff ROCKS!

Well no surprise here - or is there? Went to have a few Cocktails in the American Bar at the London Savoy but unfortunately was not allowed in as it was at capacity (you can't book). However, the ladies advised us to have a drink in the now famously nicknamed (by me) 'The Waiting Room' which is hidden just to the left of the entrance to the American Bar. Personal Cocktail makers were there for any order and this is the twist - Oscar Wilde famously drank a cocktail in Paris called 'Le Boulevardier' (basically puts the Negroni to shame - apologies my Italian friends), which disappeared off the global Cocktail list until being resurrected again in 2004 (I think). I have been asking for this cocktail all over the world (slight exaggeration) and have never found it. But not this time - I mentioned it to the fellow on the right of the photo (forgive me but fame is not your choice) who assured me he knew what the Cocktail (I also think he pronounced it much better than me) was. Well I take my hat off to him because I felt like a practitioner of Hellenism where after death I walk the dark earth as a "perpetual Boulevardier watching the angels hurrying by- if there are any angels" (100% plagiarized - sorry Peter A. 1983). It was like stepping back in time outside the famous Cafe Paris sitting with Wilde and enjoying his tipple. Go and try- and forgive me if i just say have no more than two. No wonder Wilde was such a talented writer!
