A long time ago, in the late 1800s, London was growing fast and changing a lot. The city was becoming famous for its culture, business, and expensive things. Right at that time, the Savoy Hotel opened. It was a special place because it was one of the first to be so nice and welcoming. People thought of it as a special place where they could have fun and enjoy themselves. When the hotel opened on this day 6th August 1889, it was a big event. There were things that people hadn't seen before, like electric lights, elevators, and bathrooms in the rooms.
The Savoy Hotel is built in a special way. It looks like the style of Victorian and Edwardian times. The front of the building is really pretty, with lots of details and decorations. When you go inside, there's a big open area with a beautiful glass roof and a nice fountain in the middle. The rooms where people stay are also very nice, with modern touches that make them comfortable.
