About The Savoy London

A legacy of luxury hospitality for over 135 years in the heart of London

The Savoy – Est. 1889

The Savoy was the first purpose-built luxury hotel in Britain, opened on 6 August 1889 by Richard D'Oyly Carte. Built with profits from his acclaimed Gilbert and Sullivan opera productions, it was conceived to offer a level of comfort and technology that London had never seen.

Located on The Strand in the City of Westminster, central London, The Savoy occupies a site with a history stretching back to 1240, when Count Peter of Savoy built his palace on the banks of the Thames.

Today, managed by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, The Savoy continues to set the benchmark for luxury, welcoming guests including royalty, world leaders, and global celebrities into its 267 rooms and suites.
