The Savoy Hotel London, a celebrated icon of British luxury and heritage, has announced a unique auction event enabling buyers worldwide to acquire exclusive pieces from its acclaimed interiors. The move comes as the landmark property prepares to unveil a refreshed restaurant offering and embark upon a significant programme of guest room refurbishments.
This remarkable sale, scheduled for 11 and 12 December 2024, will present collectors, luxury hoteliers, and interior designers with a carefully curated selection of furniture and fittings formerly gracing The Savoy’s renowned suites, guest bedrooms, and public spaces.
A private viewing will take place on 9 and 10 December for registered participants, and live bidding will be accessible at the hotel as well as online.
With a distinguished history of welcoming royalty, celebrities, and cultural figures, The Savoy’s interiors have long been synonymous with elegance and craftsmanship.
Leading the auction are signature pieces from the hotel’s famed Personality Suites, named after illustrious guests of the past, along with hundreds of bespoke items drawn from The Savoy’s 267 luxury rooms and suites.
The forthcoming programme of refurbishments follows a notable restoration completed in 2010, a three-year project costing some £220 million.
This next phase, set to be revealed from August 2025, represents The Savoy’s continued commitment to invest in the property and provide guests with a superlative stay, blending historic charm with modern comfort.
Among the highlights available are handcrafted mirrors, sofas, and silk drapery from opulent suites; unique artworks evoking the hotel’s illustrious past; and an array of tables, chairs, and lighting fixtures once adorning public areas and guest rooms. Each piece embodies The Savoy’s rich legacy and dedication to exceptional design.
A spokesperson for Pro Auction, the organising firm, commented: “The Savoy is synonymous with luxury, with history, and with prestige. This event offers enthusiasts from around the world the chance to take part in the auction and acquire a little bit of The Savoy’s magic.
