The Savoy Hotel, a name synonymous with luxury, history, and prestige, is about to captivate the world once again with an extraordinary auction event. As the hotel undergoes a transformative refurbishment, over 1,800 captivating articles will be offered for sale, while the hotel remains open to guests.
For over 130 years, The Savoy, a Fairmont Managed Hotel, has stood at the forefront of the luxury hotel scene, consistently offering guests an experience that evolves to meet the desires of the modern traveler. Situated in a prestigious location near London’s most famous attractions, The Savoy’s upcoming auction promises to be a monumental event, featuring an extensive range of items that have graced its rooms and halls.
Among the remarkable lots on sale are treasures from the Personality Suites, named after some of the most famous guests who have stayed at The Savoy. Bidders will have the chance to acquire memorabilia linked to stars like Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and Sir Winston Churchill. Owning an item from these suites is not just about luxury; it’s about owning a piece of history. Imagine the stories these artifacts could tell—the conversations, the decisions, and the moments of reflection that took place in their presence.
The auction will feature an array of fine art, bespoke furniture, and handcrafted luxury pieces that have adorned The Savoy’s elegant rooms. From intricately designed mirrors and plush sofas to exquisite tables and chairs, each item has been selected for its quality and historical significance. The collection includes items from the hotel’s 267 luxury rooms and suites, decorated in either an elegant Edwardian or Art Deco style.
This auction is more than just a sale; it is a landmark event that has captured the attention of collectors and enthusiasts from around the world. Pro Auction, the specialist hospitality sector auction house, will conduct the sale. Simon Rose, the auction director, described it as a “landmark event for both The Savoy and us.” The auction is expected to draw significant interest, offering a rare and exciting opportunity for bidders to connect with The Savoy’s rich history.
The first phase of the auction will be held in The Savoy’s iconic ballroom on August 8th, 2024, starting at 10:00 am. Viewing is by appointment on August 7th, 2024. The sale catalogue is available at Bidspotter.
