The Savoy Hotel Part 1

The Savoy Hotel redefined hospitality for London in the late 19th century, and it remains one of the top hotels in the world. In Part 1, we discuss the man behind the vision, Richard D'Oyly Carte, his decades-long partnership with light opera composers Gilbert & Sullivan, and some of the early scandals that plagued the hotel, (including one of its most famous guests, Oscar Wilde).☕️ You can support Hotel History (and our caffeine addiction) here or on Patreon.📰 Sign up for our free newsletter, The CHECK-IN.📖 Join our book club here.📚 Shop our bookshelves here.🤳 Follow us: TikTok | Instagram | X🎶 Music:Theme6
