The Savoy Suite has just opened at The Savoy Hotel, as well as the renovated Royal Suite. The suite carries through the Edwardian and Art Deco styles, with modern touches, found elsewhere in the classic hotel. Architecture firm ReardonSmith have created a Suite experience with unparalleled levels of luxury. The Art Deco aesthetic comes complete with walnut floors, black marble shelves, stitched panelled doors, creamy leather furnishings and a warming bronze and copper fireplace. The illustrious materials are continued into the master and secondary bedrooms where the gilded vanity counter throws back to the hotel’s opulent past. The newly renovated Suite spans nearly all of the fifth floor and includes the spot where Monet once painted the Thames. The room follows a colour palette of yellow ochre and gold.
