London premier hotel

THE SAVOY, considered by many to be London’s premier hotel, and now part of the Fairmont Group, is set for a summer opening after a 2½-year £100m restoration programme – the most expensive hotel refurbishment in London’s history.  Encompassing the entire building from the courtyard and famed American Bar to the public areas and 268-guestrooms, the programme heralds a number of notable highlights including the addition of a luxurious new two-bedroom Royal Suite, the complete remodel of the legendary River Restaurant and the re-launch of the 58 River Suites with their iconic views over the River Thames.  The Savoy says that with the project's completion in sight, albeit some months away, the 1,000 builders working on the project will gradually be replaced by more than 650 hotel staff, who will be required to provide the trademark Savoy standards of service. www.the-savoy.com
