A Festive Wonderland: Christmas at The Savoy with Champagne Laurent-Perrier

This Christmas, The Savoy has once again transformed into a breathtaking festive haven, marrying its iconic luxury with holiday magic. From dazzling decor inspired by the history of fairy lights to cosy Alpine chalets nestled in its forecourt, The Savoy brings together history, style, and charm to create an unforgettable Christmas experience.

A Glimpse Into The Savoy History Through Design

The Savoy’s connection to Christmas decor goes far beyond seasonal tradition. In fact, it played a pivotal role in creating one of the most beloved festive details of all: fairy lights. Nearly 150 years ago, during a performance of Iolanthe at the Savoy Theatre, tiny electric lights were used to light up the dancers’ costumes. Known as “fairy lights,” this innovative touch dazzled audiences and sparked a tradition that endures to this day.

This year, they celebrates the hotels heritage with a tribute to fairy lights, adorning its interiors with twinkling displays and lush greenery. Upon arrival, the forecourt greets visitors with fragrant pine trees, glowing light garlands, and festive snow. Step inside, and the magic continues with opulent seasonal decor designed by The Florist at The Savoy, led by Belinda Bowles.

The atrium and hallways are dressed in layers of elegance, featuring rich red and green velvet accents, golden ornaments, and sparkling baubles that catch the light. It’s an interior design scheme that speaks to the timeless grandeur, while infusing each space with holiday cheer.

The Laurent-Perrier Winter Chalets: Cosy Yet Chic

In the forecourt, the Alpine-style chalets are the perfect example of how thoughtful design can elevate an experience. These wooden cabins, draped in fairy lights and finished with plush faux fur blankets, blend rustic charm with luxurious touches. The design brings a warm, nostalgic feel to the space while remaining perfectly aligned with The Savoy’s sophisticated aesthetic.

Each chalet is tailored for intimate gatherings, seating up to six guests who can indulge in seasonal delicacies and Laurent-Perrier Champagnes. The juxtaposition of natural wood textures and soft furnishings creates a space that’s both welcoming and beautifully curated.

Timeless Interiors Meet Festive Flourishes

The beauty of The Savoy lies in its ability to pair classic design elements with imaginative holiday decor. This year, the interiors feature a carefully curated mix of textures and tones that exude understated luxury:

  • Rich Greenery and Floral Displays: Fragrant pine, seasonal berries, and intricate floral arrangements bring life to every corner of the hotel, blending perfectly with its Edwardian and Art Deco interiors.
  • Velvet and Gold Accents: From stockings to decorative garlands, the use of deep jewel tones and metallic highlights adds an indulgent touch.
  • The New Dining Space: Opening this November, The Savoy’s latest dining destination promises not only exceptional food but also a vibrant atmosphere, with interiors that reflect the hotel’s bold and timeless style.

Even the Details Delight

Beyond the grand spaces, The Savoy’s attention to detail is what makes it truly remarkable. Limited-edition Halcyon Days baubles inspired by its iconic atrium, bespoke advent calendars, and velvet Christmas stockings are available for those who wish to take a piece of the magic home.

Even the restrooms are a design moment in themselves, featuring rich colours, thoughtful lighting, and seasonal flourishes—a reminder that no corner is overlooked.
