This restoration is regarded as one of the most ambitious project in British history. The restoration was done by world famous designer Pierre Yves Rochon and a team of over 1000 craftsmen.

"We are very excited to reopen The Savoy. It is fair to say that this project has not been without its challenges, but we are looking forward to unveiling the results of nearly three years of hard work and dedication," said Kiaran MacDonald, General Manager of the Savoy.

The Savoy was established in the year 1889 by the Gilbert and Sullivan impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte. The hotel was originally under the maintenance of Swiss hotelier César Ritz and Maitre Chef Auguste Escoffier. Over a short period of time, the hotel garnered a reputation of being one of best in its field.  The Savoy gradually became the stopping point of the Rolls-Royces of royalty, ministers and Hollywood stars.

Chef Escoffier's eclectic cuisines were savored and relished by the likes of Sarah Bernhardt, Lily Langtry, Dame Nellie Melba and the Prince of Wales and later Edward VII.  New additions include thirty eight new River Suites and guestrooms, a stately 325 square meter royal suite featuring two bedrooms, a study, sitting room, dining room, master bathroom, dressing room and a master bedroom with a bespoke "Savoir" bed.

Other introductions include the Beaufort Bar, an exquisite art deco bar built on the hotel's original cabaret stage offering a range of champagne, cocktails and cabaret and Savoy Tea, a bijou teashop selling Savoy tea, accessories and fresh patisserie.
