Savoy

Savoy Review

The Savoy opened in 1913 in connection with celebrations commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. Renovations enlarged guest rooms and made the hotel facade more distinguished. Interiors of gilded chandeliers, ceiling paintings, and polished paneling invoke the spirit of prerevolutionary Russia. The ornate dining room, where a complimentary breakfast is served, exudes romance: a pianist serenades, a fountain blurbles, and painted cherubs seemingly float among clouds. The rooms have new spacious marble bathrooms, some with hydromassage baths. The bedrooms are equipped with king-size beds with orthopedic mattresses and antiallergenic pillows. Views are negligible, owing to the hotel's side-street location, but this gives the advantage of quiet. The hotel is just off Teatralnaya Ploshchad and within walking distance of the Kremlin.
