About this place The Savoy

The Savoy is a luxury hotel on the Strand, between Covent Garden and the Thames, which opened in 1889. It is a mainstream hotel that welcomes gay guests, not a gay hotel. Its gay connection is historical: Oscar Wilde stayed here with Lord Alfred Douglas in 1893, and evidence from those stays was later used against him at his trials. The American Bar and Beaufort Bar are open to non-residents if you want to see the Art Deco interiors without booking a room. Room rates are at the top of the London market. Theatreland, Covent Garden and Soho's gay bars are all within walking distance.

I stayed at yhe Savoy on my last trip to England from Canada. It's a very Ritzy place equipoed with door men in top hats 🎩 and concierge services. The price I paid definitely wasn't inexpensive and on the pricey side, but every other hotel was booked so it was my only option at yhe time being a regular Joe, so I spent some savings for a high class room. It has had Royalty stay here and nearly every famous music artist that ever existed so I was happy to have the opportunity to stay here too. Bob Dylan shot his famous cue card video behind this hotel in the Alley. So I made a point to take my picture there. My room had a bidet beside the toilet and nice linens on the bed. I think I ordered the best pizza I've ever tasted from room service after heading back from the Maple Leaf Pub, where I was enjoying Canadian beer. Was a trip of a lifetime and I really enjoyed touring around London with this hotel as my home base. The rooms list a star because when I went they were dated, but apparently renovations have happened since.

The Savoy is my favorite 5-star hotel in London; the room was magnificent, and the service was exceptionally pleasant.
