The Savoy’s Christmas offering blends timeless London glamour with a curated selection of extraordinary event spaces, each providing its own distinctive festive atmosphere. Steeped in Art Deco elegance, the hotel transforms into a sophisticated winter setting where heritage, luxury, and seasonal enchantment come together seamlessly.

At the heart of our Christmas celebrations is the magnificent Lancaster Ballroom—one of London’s grandest and most versatile event spaces. With its soaring ceilings, opulent detailing, and capacity for large-scale celebrations, it provides a breathtaking backdrop for gala dinners, corporate parties, and festive receptions. Its adjoining foyer spaces offer a natural flow for pre-dinner drinks or entertainment, allowing guests to experience the sheer theatricality of a Savoy Christmas.

For a more dramatic and intimate setting, the Beaufort Bar brings a sense of midnight glamour. Known for its deep-black interiors, gold accents, and atmospheric lighting, the bar offers a sophisticated environment ideal for stylish cocktail parties or late-evening celebrations, elevated by world-class mixology and live entertainment.

Our collection of private dining rooms offers flexibility and exclusivity for smaller gatherings. From traditionally elegant spaces to more contemporary rooms, each is beautifully appointed and perfect for business celebrations, family festivities, or bespoke festive lunches prepared by our renowned culinary team.

For guests seeking a truly private and exceptional celebration, our signature suites—overlooking the River Thames or the hotel’s historic courtyard—provide an unparalleled setting. These suites offer the luxury of hosting intimate Christmas receptions or personalised dining experiences in a residential-style environment enhanced by Savoy service.

What makes the Savoy unique is not only the variety and beauty of its event spaces but its ability to craft a cohesive festive experience: refined, atmospheric, and effortlessly personal. Here, Christmas becomes more than a celebration—it becomes a story told through iconic spaces and unforgettable moments.

At Christmas, The Savoy becomes an immersive festive showcase where design, atmosphere, and storytelling come together to create a celebration unlike anywhere else in London. This year’s newly installed Christmas décor enhances the hotel’s Art Deco elegance with a modern, whimsical twist. Striking seasonal installations, rich winter foliage, and intricate detailing transform corridors, entrances, and event spaces into a cohesive festive journey that feels both luxurious and full of wonder.

A standout feature is our Laurent-Perrier installation at the hotel’s entrance, setting the tone from the moment guests arrive. With sparkling accents, elegant floral design, and a champagne-inspired aesthetic, it creates a glamorous first impression and the perfect backdrop for arrival photos and pre-event celebrations.

Inside, décor unfolds in layers of warm tones, shimmering textures, and beautifully illuminated Christmas trees, each thoughtfully curated to complement the character of its surrounding space. The Gallery is filled with soft winter lighting and seasonal arrangements, creating a serene, glowing atmosphere enhanced by live musical performances that elevate the festive mood.

Lighting is central to the experience, with golden warmth and subtle highlights accentuating architectural details throughout the hotel. In the Lancaster Ballroom, lighting can be tailored to suit each event—from classic candlelit elegance to vibrant party ambience. In contrast, the Beaufort Bar embraces its signature dramatic lighting and gold accents, offering a decadent setting for festive cocktails and late-night celebrations.

Across our private dining rooms and signature suites, décor and lighting are refined and intimate, perfect for bespoke gatherings and exclusive festive moments.

The overall vibe is one of sophistication, warmth, and celebration. With immersive décor, atmospheric lighting, carefully curated music, and world-class hospitality, The Savoy creates a festive experience that is both magical and unmistakably unique.
