The Savoy

Spending Christmas at The Savoy was an absolute highlight this year—especially when I got upgraded to a suite, which made the whole experience even more magical. The staff were incredibly professional and diverse, making every interaction feel personal and thoughtful from check-in to checkout.

The steam room—it’s cozy, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. I opted for in-room dining throughout my stay, and while the holiday menu was solid, I’d definitely recommend trying the Asian dishes from the regular menu—they’re flavorful and truly stand out.
