The Savoy — London's most iconic hotel, Luxelimo on the Strand
The Savoy on the Strand WC2 is one of London's most celebrated and historic hotels — opened in 1889 by Richard D'Oyly Carte as the first hotel in London to have electric lifts and electric lighting throughout, the birthplace of the cocktail bar in the UK (the American Bar), and the favourite of royalty, statesmen, writers, and the world's most discerning travellers for over 130 years. Luxelimo provides professional chauffeur service for The Savoy's guests — airport transfers, London city journeys, theatre and opera evenings, and corporate transport throughout their stay.
The Savoy's Strand WC2 location is one of the most strategically positioned in London for both culture and business. The Royal Opera House at Covent Garden is 5-8 minutes by car. The West End theatre district (Shaftesbury Avenue, Aldwych) is 10-12 minutes. The City of London EC postcodes — Bank of England, Lloyd's, the major investment bank towers — are approximately 15-20 minutes east. Heathrow is 50-60 minutes via the M4; London City Airport approximately 30 minutes via the Embankment.
One of The Savoy's most distinctive features is its famous forecourt on Savoy Court — one of the very few roads in the United Kingdom where traffic drives on the right. This unusual access arrangement is entirely familiar to Luxelimo drivers who collect from The Savoy regularly, and is coordinated with the hotel's doorman service to ensure smooth collection at all times.
