Space, elegance and stunning Thames views.

Overlooking the Thames, this room has a double name because it was originally two separate private dining rooms when the hotel opened in 1889. The wall between the rooms was removed in 1935, but otherwise the décor appears much as it would have been when the hotel first opened.

A beloved Savoy original.

Iolanthe is elegantly panelled in light oak and suitable for dining and business meetings. It was a favourite of Sir Winston Churchill who regularly lunched here with his Cabinet during World War II. So that he could have a nap after lunch, a bedroom at the hotel was kept on permanent standby for him. This was one of the original private dining rooms when The Savoy opened in 1889.

This is one of the Savoy’s original private dining rooms. The décor, featuring wooden panelling, was designed by Basil Ionides in 1926. Views towards the Thames provide a distinguished setting.

Pinafore is well known as the place where ‘The Other Club’ meets regularly while Parliament is in session. The club was founded by Sir Winston Churchill and Lord Birkenhead in 1910 for distinguished figures from the world of politics and the media.
