上海，2010年10月21日──由Fairmont負責管理的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，成為本年度最萬眾期待的啟業酒店之一。The Savoy酒店在2007年12月結束營業，以修復整座酒店大樓，包括別樹一格的酒店入口、American Bar、Savoy Grill及268間客套房，堪稱英國歷史上最富挑戰性的修復工程。
酒店總經理Kiaran MacDonald透露：“能夠重開The Savoy酒店，我們感到非常興奮。這個項目雖然充滿挑戰，但我們確實極其渴望向賓客展現三年來艱苦努力的成果。我們深知不少旅客對The Savoy均情有獨鐘，相信修復后的酒店將令來賓喜出望外，并重新奠定在全球酒店業界首屈一指的翹楚地位。”
酒店內的全新室內裝潢由舉世知名的設計師Pierre Yves Rochon一手包辦，Pierre曾為多間地標性酒店進行設計，贏得口碑載道。總承建商Chorus Group及建筑公司Reardon Smith則負責將他的設計藍圖付諸實行。Chorus旗下聘有過千名巧手工匠及技師，努力不懈地將酒店的兩大設計美學元素體現在室內各處裝潢上，讓賓客充分感受到愛德華時代及立體派裝飾（Art Deco）的風范。
Chorus Group的母公司Byrne Group 總裁Tony Dowle表示：“這是一次畢生難逢的機會，每位曾參與修復The Savoy酒店的工人均因為能打造這座別具特色的酒店而深感自豪。他們的投入與努力，為酒店締造了卓越優秀的水平，希望賓客在未來亦能一直享受我們殷勤努力的成果。”
即將啟業的The Savoy酒店將為來賓帶來連串精采驚喜，包括：經徹底翻新的著名River Restaurant、新增的兩間豪華皇室套房，以及再度推出的38間河景客房及套房，讓賓客能在房內飽覽泰晤士河的醉人景致。
除此以外，酒店亦將新增多項頂級設備，如美輪美奐的The Beaufort Bar，讓客人在立體派裝飾（art deco）的包圍下品嘗香檳、雞尾酒及欣賞歌舞表演；小巧精致的茶室Savoy Tea，專門出售Savoy茶葉、茶具及新鮮飽點。重新開幕的冬季庭園樓閣Thames Foyer更是享受下午茶的最佳地點，讓賓客在華麗典雅的玻璃拱門下度過一個悠然舒適的下午。Savoy Grill亦將卷土重來，由Gordon Ramsay Holdings負責經營，大廚Stuart Gillies及首席廚師Andy Cook將連手為賓客炮制美味燒烤菜式Savoy Grill。不但如此，酒店內更設有極具時代感的玻璃健身室及城中罕見的天臺游泳池，讓賓客在旅途中仍能繼續保持健美。
The Savoy酒店房租為每房每晚;由人民幣3,525（350英鎊）起，并將于2010年8月10日正式開始接受預約。歡迎致電020 7836 4343或電郵至savoy.reservations@fairmont.com 進行預約。請瀏覽www.the-savoy.com 了解更多有關修復工程的最新信息。
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.
