A Trip To The Savoy Hotel, London

Ahoy there, I went to the Savoy!

Well, what you may ask is so special about that?  It is that I got through the doors of this establishment and was able to take pictures without having to pay hundreds, if not thousands of pounds a night for a room.  I spent forty-five minutes or so, went in and took pictures and got out – and had quite a pleasant experience.  This is after all, the hotel that is supposed to be London’s most famous hotel, and one where many celebrities have stayed.  It is located on the Strand in the City of Westminster.  Here are some pictures:

This is the lobby area as shown in the two pictures below, then if you walk down a few stairs, you will see a beautiful gazebo, and a restaurant/bar/lounge area

Also, I have to mention, the bathrooms in the Savoy are quite an experience too.  Best bathrooms in the world!  There was even a cloakroom attendant outside the bathroom, and I should have had my camera with me just to take pictures of the entry area of the women’s bathroom.  Oh, my gosh, there were framed pictures – it was like an art gallery.  I think there was music too.  Perhaps, it was good that I didn’t have my camera, and had left it upstairs with my family!  I think people would have thought I was a little odd taking pictures there.

So, what do you prefer – the Savoy or the Ritz?  It depends on your level of glitz.  I have shown some pictures of the Ritz in an earlier post.  As for me, I was quite happy with the London Trafalgar Hotel – it suited me just fine.
