The Savoy 5 つ星

My wife and I recently visited the cocktail bar in this hotel. The cocktails were amazing and the mixologists were at the top of their game. Good service and took time to have a conversation with us. We looked at the cocktail menu and in the end we just told the mixologists that I like sharp tasting drinks and my wife likes fruit tasting cocktails. and they just made drinks for us. We intended to just to have one or two cocktails but we enjoyed the bar so much we stayed for three and a half hour and had several cocktails. We will definitely be returning soon.

It all started well. However our charming waiter was obviously looking after other tables in another area so although he said he would keep coming to replenish the teapots this didn’t happen. We would still be waiting now. A couple of other waitresses did fill out teapots when we asked. The food was delivered with a smile in a timely manner. For that sort of money I expect much better service. The Ritz and Claridges were excellent when we went. Won’t be returning here sadly.

I can see from previous reviews about the staff at the front desk being a little prickly, before gaining access to the lounge. On the night we went we had a similar experience, the demeanor of the person the front desk does need to learn some soft skills. That said we were immediately seated in a good seating position very close to the Jazz pianist and had the company of some lovely guests. So we were very happy with where we were sat. The seats are pretty close together, it is an intimate place. That didnt bother us at all. I was happy they've addressed the lighting from my last visit. I didnt need the torch to see the menu this time. Our amazing waitress served us very quickly, providing us with snacks and offering suggestions on the menu. We had the lovely music Jazz sound with modern songs, so you know the tunes theyre playing. The bar area and the room is not a large place, so drink orders on occasion can take a little while, but I prefer my drinks to be freshly made. They are definitely using quality ingredients. We stayed until closing time and had a ball. This would have been a 5* review, but for the front desk. Thank you.

We stayed a night at The Savoy for my husband’s 50th. Had a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I booked a superior queen room and asked for a view. We were given a beautifully decorated room with a view of part of the river and the city including St Paul’s dome. My husband was very happy. We had a drink at the American bar which was a lovely experience. And the Savoy breakfast was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

After a disappointing visit for tea Last year. Today the Savoy team more than made Up for it. Service was excellent. Tea delicious but filling as always. Nice doggie box to take home. Birthday surprise for my friend. Could not have been a better way to spend an afternoon with some very special friends. Thank you.
