The Savoy to close Thames Foyer ahead of renovation
The Savoy opened in 1889, being the first hotel to be entirely lit by electricity and featuring London’s first electric lift, and hosting the first ever dinner dance in 1912
The Savoy has announced that it is closing bookings for the Thames Foyer ahead of a planned refurbishment.
The hotel has closed bookings from Thursday 22 August 2024 and will reopen a new food and beverage concept in November this year.
The new refurbished establishment will have an entirely new design, name, concept and menu.
The adjacent Upper Thames area will also be part of the renovation, with two new outlets by The Savoy to be revealed at the same time.
Franck Arnold, managing director, said: “This is going to be a complete transformation of the Thames Foyer and Upper Thames and we are so excited to unveil our new, vibrant dining destination and outlets later in the year.
“The new dining concept will harmoniously blend tradition with innovation, ensuring our guests have the perfect setting in which to relax, drink and dine, and enjoy a truly unique Savoy experience.”
The Savoy opened in 1889, being the first hotel to be entirely lit by electricity and featuring London’s first electric lift, and hosting the first ever dinner dance in 1912.
