The resort offers 195 guest rooms and 73 suites, each featuring elegant marble bathrooms. Days can be spent enjoying the resort's pool facilities or indulging in treatments at the full-service spa.

Our take
A perfect fit for travelers who want historic grandeur combined with contemporary amenities in the heart of London. Families will value the pool and the central position for sightseeing, while couples will find the elegant suites and the spa ideal for a luxurious escape. Anyone after a quiet, secluded retreat may find the busy central location less suitable, since The Savoy thrives on its lively atmosphere and closeness to the city's attractions.

- Take advantage of the central location for easy walks to Covent Garden and the British Museum, saving time on transport.
- Book a spa treatment in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons, for a truly relaxing experience.

Why guests love itThe Savoy is a historic Thames-side landmark that is also described as family-friendly, and I think it earns that. The pool gives children a reason to come back to the hotel between visits, and the suites, 73 of them with marble bathrooms, offer more space than a standard room. The British Museum and Covent Garden are a short walk away, which keeps sightseeing days manageable for young legs. The full-service spa is for the adults. A 9.4 rating over 1,447 reviews is outstanding.
