The Savoy in London has temporarily closed its Thames Foyer to begin extensive renovations of the iconic lounge.
The extravagant lobby has served as the luxury hotel’s tea room since 1912, and has long held a reputation as being one of the most ‘quintessentially English’ experiences the city has to offer.
The refurbishment, which is being led by London-based design studio BradyWilliams, is expected to take three months and will include an entirely new name and redesigned menu.
