I visited the Savoy last Friday (Jan 11) with my husband. It was my Christmas present from him, a show in the evening and to stay at the Savoy.

It was a basic room and a lovely surprise, much larger and more luxurious than expected, and a view of the river-fantastic after dark. I like to make a cup of tea myself in the morning when I wake up, I had looked at the hotel website before we went, my husband phoned and it was no problem to have tea and coffee facilities in our room. If we just wanted coffee I'm sure a coffee maker would be provided. Lovely bathroom and toiletries. We had an early dinner in the River Restaurant, very nice, when we got back from the show a nightcap in the American Bar, cool jazz pianist playing. Complimentary olives and mixed nuts were provided. An excellent way to end the evening.
We had a very leisurely breakfast (more of a brunch) in the Thames Foyer which was superb, we didn't want anything to eat for a long while afterwards. We reluctantly left at lunchtime, it was a memorable experience, expensive for us but well worth saving for. I would recommend it to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion, or who simply wants to treat themselves or someone close.
