We went on a tour of the refurbishment of the Savoy Hotel recently. The hotel was such a design icon particularly the frontage. We were hoping for an innovative marriage of Art Deco and contemporary for the new look hotel but it looks like they're going for a traditional safe look. A real missed opportunity. Thankfully, the beautiful sign at the front will be intact.Wednesday, 8 April 2009
