The Restaurant at The Savoy

"Dripping with history, it’s as glamorous can be, with amazing decor throughout, classic bars – who could resist the starry, bordello decadence of the Beaufort bar – a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and gorgeously comfortable rooms"

"The revamped River restaurant offers a modern French menu and doubles as the hotel's breakfast room"

"There are four superb restaurants: the Gordon Ramsay–run Savoy Grill, Simpson's in the Strand, the Thames Foyer, or Kaspar's Seafood Bar and Grill, with its gorgeous panoramic view of the river"

"The £220 million refit has put fizz back into this classic, and it's all here: river views, 265 sumptuous rooms, pre-eminent restaurants and the much-loved American Bar"

"Since opening in 1889, with Escoffier as head chef, the hotel has always been known for its restaurants, a tradition that continues with old favorites Savoy Grill, American Bar and Thames Foyer, whose recreated glass dome ceiling and interior gazebo (from drawings of the original space) provide an unforgettable setting for afternoon tea"

"Situated in the center of one of the world’s most energetic cities and on the banks of the River Thames, the Five-Star hotel offers 268 rooms and suites along with all-day dining at restaurants such as Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill (try the beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes or the Hereford rib-eye)"

"It has attracted an impressive roster of celebrity guests since its opening in 1889, and its excellent restaurants and bars -- including the famed American bar, once a haunt of Marilyn Monroe -- are destinations unto themselves"
