A night surrounded by the Edwardian and art-deco grandeur of the iconic Savoy is never a casual choice, considering the price, but as one of life's treats you can't go wrong. The £220 million refit has put fizz back into this classic, and it's all here: river views, 265 sumptuous rooms, pre-eminent restaurants and the much-loved American Bar.
Choose between art-deco-style rooms (eg room 440), with lots of straight lines, burlwood and black-and-white bathrooms, or fussier Edwardian ones (room 431), with chandeliers, velvet and hunting prints.
