Savoy Hotel
About Savoy Hotel
The Savoy Hotel is a luxury hotel located in the Strand in the City of Westminster in central London, England. Built by the impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte with profits from his Gilbert and Sullivan opera productions, it opened on 6 August 1889. It was the first in the Savoy group of hotels and restaurants owned by Carte's family for over a century. The Savoy was the first hotel in Britain to introduce electric lights throughout the building, electric lifts, bathrooms in most of the lavishly furnished rooms, constant hot and cold running water and many other innovations. Carte hired César Ritz as manager and Auguste Escoffier as chef de cuisine; they established an unprecedented standard of quality in hotel service, entertainment and elegant dining, attracting royalty and other rich and powerful guests and diners.

I was the very last pipe smoker of the year ever. Oh, way. Yes. It used to be a very popular thing. Every year there was a big dinner at the Savoy Hotel sponsored by Alfred Dunhill who in those days were primarily tobacconists. Yeah. Fashion House, of course. Their shop in German Street was filled with huge jars of tobacco and they were called your sort. Snuff and tobacco were called a sort.
