The Savoy, London, is easily one of the world's most luxurious accommodation experiences. We recently uncovered the historic depths of this beautiful property, follow along to learn why the Savoy is on every luxury traveler's bucket list.
Starting off high, the renowned Royal Suite at the Savoy has been completely taken over by global fashion house Gucci. Celebrating 100 years of collaboration, the Royal Suite is now fitted from ceiling to floor, wall to wall, with designer items directly from the Gucci Décor Collection. This 100 year collaboration started when the founder of Gucci started working as a bell hop at the Savoy. Inspired by foreigners, their luggage, and exotic adventure stories, Guccio Gucci planted the seeds to what is now one of the most luxurious designer brands in the world. To top it off, the Savoy has created the Gucci Valigeria space, an experiential pop-up shop filled with designer masterpieces located directly within the hotel.
Next, nestled within the historic walls of The Savoy, the Beaufort Bar is a captivating sanctuary that exudes an aura of jet-black elegance. Reopened after 4 years of beauty sleep, this is where sophistication meets indulgence, enchantment oozing from expert mixologists' creative cocktails. As the evening unfolds, the Beaufort Bar transforms into a hotspot, with sultry DJ sets inciting life to a stylish crowd. It is no wonder guests make reservations months in advance - it is on every luxury enthusiast's radar.
