上海，2010年10月21日──由Fairmont负责管理的The Savoy酒店（The Savoy, A Fairmont Managed Hotel）已于2010年10月10日（星期日）重新隆重揭幕，成为本年度最万众期待的启业酒店之一。The Savoy酒店在2007年12月结束营业，以修复整座酒店大楼，包括别树一格的酒店入口、American Bar、Savoy Grill及268间客套房，堪称英国历史上最富挑战性的修复工程。
酒店总经理Kiaran MacDonald透露：“能够重开The Savoy酒店，我们感到非常兴奋。这个项目虽然充满挑战，但我们确实极其渴望向宾客展现三年来艰苦努力的成果。我们深知不少旅客对The Savoy均情有独钟，相信修复后的酒店将令来宾喜出望外，并重新奠定在全球酒店业界首屈一指的翘楚地位。”
酒店内的全新室内装潢由举世知名的设计师Pierre Yves Rochon一手包办，Pierre曾为多间地标性酒店进行设计，赢得口碑载道。总承建商Chorus Group及建筑公司Reardon Smith则负责将他的设计蓝图付诸实行。Chorus旗下聘有过千名巧手工匠及技师，努力不懈地将酒店的两大设计美学元素体现在室内各处装潢上，让宾客充分感受到爱德华时代及立体派装饰（Art Deco）的风范。
Chorus Group的母公司Byrne Group 总裁Tony Dowle表示：“这是一次毕生难逢的机会，每位曾参与修复The Savoy酒店的工人均因为能打造这座别具特色的酒店而深感自豪。他们的投入与努力，为酒店缔造了卓越优秀的水平，希望宾客在未来亦能一直享受我们殷勤努力的成果。”
即将启业的The Savoy酒店将为来宾带来连串精采惊喜，包括：经彻底翻新的著名River Restaurant、新增的两间豪华皇室套房，以及再度推出的38间河景客房及套房，让宾客能在房内饱览泰晤士河的醉人景致。
除此以外，酒店亦将新增多项顶级设备，如美轮美奂的The Beaufort Bar，让客人在立体派装饰（art deco）的包围下品尝香槟、鸡尾酒及欣赏歌舞表演；小巧精致的茶室Savoy Tea，专门出售Savoy茶叶、茶具及新鲜饱点。重新开幕的冬季庭园楼阁Thames Foyer更是享受下午茶的最佳地点，让宾客在华丽典雅的玻璃拱门下度过一个悠然舒适的下午。Savoy Grill亦将卷土重来，由Gordon Ramsay Holdings负责经营，大厨Stuart Gillies及首席厨师Andy Cook将连手为宾客炮制美味烧烤菜式Savoy Grill。不但如此，酒店内更设有极具时代感的玻璃健身室及城中罕见的天台游泳池，让宾客在旅途中仍能继续保持健美。
The Savoy酒店房租为每房每晚;由人民币3,525（350英镑）起，并将于2010年8月10日正式开始接受预约。欢迎致电020 7836 4343或电邮至savoy.reservations@fairmont.com 进行预约。请浏览www.the-savoy.com 了解更多有关修复工程的最新信息。
Shanghai, October 21, 2010 - The Savoy, A Fairmont Managed Hotel, reopen its doors on Sunday, October 10, 2010. One of this year’s most eagerly anticipated openings, The Savoy has been undergoing the most ambitious restoration in British history. The hotel closed in December 2007 for a restoration that encompasses the entire building from the iconic entrance and the American Bar to Savoy Grill and the 268 guestrooms and suites.
“We are very excited to reopen The Savoy”, comments Kiaran MacDonald, General Manager. “It is fair to say that this project has not been without its challenges, but we are looking forward to unveiling the results of nearly three years of hard work and dedication. We are very aware of the place that The Savoy holds in many people’s affections and we firmly believe that the hotel will exceed people’s expectations and reclaim its position as one of the world’s great hotels.”
The new interiors have been designed by world-renowned designer, Pierre Yves Rochon who has won acclaim for his work on other landmark hotels. His plans have been realised by the general contractors, Chorus Group and architects, Reardon Smith. Chorus have overseen a team of over 1000 craftsmen and women, artists and artisans who have worked tirelessly to create interiors that are in the spirit of the hotel’s two main design aesthetics, Edwardian and Art Deco.
“This has been a once in a lifetime project to work on,” says Tony Dowle, Director of Chorus’ parent company, Byrne Group. “Everyone who has worked with us at The Savoy has taken great pride in restoring such an iconic property. Their dedication and commitment has produced a hotel of uncompromising quality and we hope that the hotel’s guests will continue to enjoy our work for years to come.”
The Savoy’s reopening will reveal a number of notable highlights including the complete remodel of the legendary River Restaurant, the addition of a luxurious new two bedroom Royal Suite and the relaunch of 38 River Suites and Guestrooms with stunning views over the River Thames.
New to the hotel will be The Beaufort Bar, a glamorous art deco bar that will offer champagne, cocktails and cabaret and Savoy Tea, a bijou teashop selling Savoy tea, accessories and fresh patisserie. Within the Thames Foyer, the re-introduction of a stunning winter garden gazebo beneath an ornate glass dome will provide the perfect ambience for afternoon tea. In addition, the Savoy Grill will return again under the operation of Gordon Ramsay Holdings with Chef Patron, Stuart Gillies and Head Chef, Andy Cook. For those who wish to continue their fitness regime on the road, there will be a contemporary, glass enclosed fitness gallery and rooftop swimming pool – one of the few in the city.
Room rates at The Savoy will start from around HKD 4,031 (GBP 350) per room per night and reservations will open on 10th August 2010.
