The pictureperfect Savoy Suite

31 MAY 2016 • 3:40PM

o hotel in London has a better prospect than the Savoy. Located right on the apex of the great bend in the Thames where the river makes a 90-degree sweep to the south, its best rooms look both downriver towards Tate Modern and the skyline of Canary Wharf in the east; and directly south over the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament. It is that view which inspired Claude Monet’s great series of paintings of the The Palace of Westminster, in which the pinnacled tower of Big Ben and the great square stump of Victoria Tower, loom out of a purple haze of fog and smog. (Thankfully, a century later, the air is a little clearer.) Some of those 70-odd canvases were painted from the river bank, but many encapsulate the amazing views from the upper stories of the Savoy Hotel, where Monet stayed three times between 1899 and 1901.

The suite's private bar

He was then at the height of his powers, and the hotel was at the height of cultural chic. Since it opened ten years earlier in 1889, it had attracted some of the greatest writers and artists of the day. James McNeill Whistler had painted the hotel scaffolding when it was still a building site. Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain stayed in the 1890s, as had Monet’s friend and compatriot Emile Zola. And after Monet, in the 1920s and '30s came Oscar Kokoschka and Raoul Dufy, and in the '60s Andy Warhol.

The pictureperfect Savoy Suite

The suite's bathroom

It is this great artistic tradition which has stirred the hotel into creating its new Savoy Suite, which opened for bookings last week. It incorporates one of the rooms on the sixth ﬂoor where Monet stayed: a dividing wall has been removed to create a doublelength sitting room which makes the most of those fabulous views over the river and the South Bank. You can book it with a single bedroom, or open the connection to the adjoining suite to form a huge two-bedroom apartment. I’m not sure, however, that Monet would have approved of the new colour scheme. Overseen by interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, its tasteful muted pastels are a long way from the vibrant blues and canary yellows of the artist’s manor house back across the Channel in Giverny. But, as a collector of Oriental art, Monet would have liked the Japanese-style freeze behind the cocktail bar at the back of the sitting room, and I’m sure he would have enjoyed the glass panel which has been inserted into the bathroom wall. Open the shutters and you can lie back in the bath and take in the view across the river.

The bedroom offers views of the London Eye and Houses of Parliament

Guests who book the suite will also enjoy another kind of private view. The hotel is inviting celebrated contemporary artists to exhibit selections of their work in the suite, and it will also host regular “Artists' Salons”, which will be a chance for the artist whose work is displayed to introduce their work to guests during an evening reception. The ﬁrst artist to feature is Ralph Heimans, who painted the ofﬁcial portrait of the Queen in her Diamond Jubilee year, now found in Westminster Abbey. The miniexhibition will feature a series of portraits which the publisher Random House asked him to paint as part of the Shakespeare400 celebrations and which have already been on display at Shakespeare’s Globe. They represent some of the authors it had commissioned to rewrite a Shakespeare play in prose, including Margaret Atwood, Tracy Chevalier, Gillian Flynn, Jo Nesbø and Anne Tyler. Guests who stay in the suite can also, by arrangment, enjoy a visit the Abbey with Heimans to see his portrait of the Queen.

The Savoy Suite costs £6,500 per night. The rate is higher if the second bedroom is incorporated; fairmont.com/savoy. 

FIL M & CU LTURE

The month of May sees a swarm of events for the artistically curious. Just last week alone there was Art16 and Photo London, as well as a plenty of smaller exhibitions in the capital’s galleries and museums. Attendance is not for the fainthearted, and the sharpening of elbows required is certainly not for everyone, which is what makes the artists’ residency programme at The Savoy extra clever. From the sixthfloor twobedroom Savoy Suite, you can look out of the window at the view of the Thames that inspired Monet’s famous paintings of London’s bridges, or gaze upon your own private exhibition on the walls of the suite. First to display his work is artist Ralph Heimans. As well as being the only artist who painted an official portrait of the Queen during her Diamond Jubilee year, Heimans recently painted a series of portraits of authors who have been invited to reimagine a Shakespeare play in prose as part of the Shakespeare400 celebrations.

Nutribullets To The Head

Train Fast, Die Old Caning it for 20 years before retiring to a penitent life of lentils, yoga and abstinence might be the template, but we just think it’s bad planning. Do this bespoke vivification circuit after a session (taking a 30second breather between each move) to undo the damage

Rock stars don’t do juice bars, but smart ones know that vodka for brunch ain’t so clever, either. That’s why we designed three bespoke cocktails with the Juice Doctor and Erik Lorincz, head bartender at The Savoy, for a night filled with swagger that’s consequence-free come morning

1\ BODYWEIGHT WINDMILL ON THE LIQUID DIET? THERE’S MUCH MORE THAN WHISKY IN THESE JARS

GREEN ARNOLD PALMER

108 MEN’S HEALTH

5 ROUNDS OF 60 SECONDS’ WORK Feet slightly wider than hip-width, hold your left hand straight up, and reach your right toward your left foot (A). Keep your arms in a straight line. Engage your core and reverse back to the start. (B). Alternate and repeat for the minute. The benefit As well as ‘sweating out the toxins’, repetitive, large muscle movements promote the flow of oxygen to the organs working hardest to self-cleanse – namely your liver.

3\ STAR-JUMP JOGGER

5 ROUNDS OF 60 SECONDS’ WORK If this move feels like you’re whirling like a dervish, then you’re doing it right. Start by jogging on the spot at 70% for 30 seconds (A). Switch to star jumps for the next 30, making sure your arms are well above your head on each one (B). Keep pumping, then rest for half a minute. The benefit Alcohol is a depressant that slows brain activity. Vigorous cardio releases endorphins to make you feel better and help numb the pain.

DON’T MISS A BEAT

INGREDIENTS • GREY GOOSE VODKA, 50ML • SPINACH LEAVES, 10 • LEMON JUICE, 30ML • GINGER, 1 INCH, GRATED • AGAVE NECTAR, 15ML • MATCHA TEA, 1TBSP METHOD

METHOD

01 Mix everything with a hand blender, then add ice and shake hard. The chlorophyll in the spinach will bind leftover toxins, preparing them for elimination, while the agave sugar restores blood sugar to normal levels. 02 Strain the mixture over ice into a rocks glass, dusting the glass with matcha to garnish. Epigallocatechin gallate is what you’re after here – an antioxidant that supports the liver after you’ve put it through the gauntlet.

01 Whizz all ingredients with ice in a hand blender. Don’t be afraid of the beet: it contains massive amounts of nitrates, which work to increase blood flow to the liver, helping it ‘pre-toxify’. Transfer to a shaker and give it some. 02 Strain the mixture over ice in a highball glass, then garnish half the rim with salt. If needed, top up with more lime and some coconut water: it helps to pre-empt the inevitable electrolyte drain post-drinking.

01 Crush the ginger in a shaker, add all the ingredients except for the bitters, and shake hard. Ginger is crucial thanks to the compound curcumin, which soothes inflammation, limiting your soreness the next day. 02 Fine strain into a martini glass and garnish with the bitters. The lemons are key: they help redress the body’s pH balance, plus their citric acid combines with the ethyl alcohol to neutralise most of the booze’s harmful effects before it hits your bloodstream.

2\ BURPEE PRESS CLIMBER

5 ROUNDS OF 60 SECONDS’ WORK Get into the press-up position and do two press-ups (A), then bring your knees up to your chest one at time for a count of six reps (B). Finally, jump up. Go at a steady pace for the minute, rest for 30 seconds, then go again. The benefit HIIT exercises fire your metabolism, handy when you consider that hungover workouts tend to burn carbs, rather than fat. It’ll tackle that late-night Dominos, essentially.

4\ LOW SQUAT TO SHOULDER PRESS

5 ROUNDS OF 60 SECONDS’ WORK Ready for your final penance? With 12kg dumbbells in each hand, squat so your forearms are parallel with your shins (A). Power up to standing, driving through the legs and extending your hips to force the dumbbells up and overhead (B). The benefit A heavy session slows the metabolism, but this final move will keep your calorie burn going for up to 39 hours. So it’ll still be working tonight, should you be tempted to go out.

50 Bars Every Londoner Should Have Been To Posted: 05/05/2016 16:51 BST

Updated: 05/05/2016 16:59 BST

London's bar scene is the most epic in the world. From the late night dives to Martini trolley pushing hotel bars and cocktails from the best bartenders in the world, these 50 bars are a MUST for London's boozers. Message BarChick Concierge aka. your boozing PA for the best bar recommendations and bookings! Best to do list, like, ever... 1. 68 and Boston Downstairs is a wine bar where every bottle is £20. Even Champagne if you play nice. Upstairs is one of Soho's best cocktail bars and Chorizo Old Fashioneds. Epic. 2. 69 Colebrooke Row This bar does classic in style. Their legendary edible Bloody Mary that you shoot from an oyster shell... don't ask, just try it. It only seats 35, but they've been known to seat even Keira Knightly on the stairs so you're in with a shot.

3. Bar Story Under the arches of Peckham Rye station this car park/bar/cool hangout has a ridiculous cocktail list scribbled on the board and you can get two for £7 in happy hour. Boom. 4. Bar Termini The real Italian deal. Swing through aperitif style and stand at the bar for a £1 espresso or a prebatched Negroni to perk you up before dinner. 5. Beaufort Bar at The Savoy Possibly the sexiest hotel bar in London which is dripping gold (£40Ks worth if you're wondering). It's glamorous as should you be if you come in here. Do the Savoy double and pop into the American Bar for a booze history lesson whilst you're at it. 6. Black Rock There's a river of whiskey inside a giant oak tree. SERIOUSLY. This is one of the most epic bars BarChick's ever been to. 7. The Blues Kitchen Shoreditch If you love live music and wanna party in a private caravan inside a bar, this is your place. The ribs are some of the best in London, the bourbon selection is banging and you're pretty much guaranteed to pull. 8. Cahoots It doesn't get more London than drinking in a tube carriage. Book into this once air raid shelter and you'll be transported, literally, to wartorn 1940's London for some drinking on the ration.

Royal Afternoon Tea at The Savoy in Collaboration with The Royal Chef May 21, 2016 Food & Beverage No Comments Print

In celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday celebrations, The Savoy, a Fairmont Managed Hotel, will be launching A Royal Afternoon Tea this June. In collaboration with The Royal Chef, Darren McGrady, The Savoy will present a menu that’s fit for a Queen and a true representation of what our reigning monarch enjoys when taking tea at the Palace.

Publication Date: May Circulation: n/a

Chef Darren McGrady was personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II, Diana, Princess of Wales, and Princes’ William and Harry for 15 years, and has cooked for many US and visiting dignitaries to Buckingham Palace. But it all began here at The Savoy as before his time in the Royal Kitchens, Chef McGrady trained at The Savoy, achieving the position of Chefde Partie Saucier.

The Savoy serves up rewards to employees By Janine Milne May 25, 2016 SUMMARY:

Prioritizing employee recognition with LifeWorks helps hotel create loyal, happy staff and cut staff turnover.

The Savoy is paradoxically both one of London’s oldest and its newest hotels. For, although the hotel �rst opened in 1889, it went through a huge £220m restoration project that saw its doors close for three years, before opening once again in 2010. Old or new, The Savoy has a reputation for being among the grandest hotels in the capital. Its guests and diners runs like a Who’s Who of Hollywood and artistic legends from Judy Garland to http://diginomica.com/2016/05/25/thesavoyservesuprewardstoemployees/

Claude Monet, and Oscar Wilde to Bob Dylan. Behind the scenes, it takes an army of support staff to keep the hotel running smoothly and the cocktails �owing in the art deco American Bar. So when it reopened, the hotel had needed to recruit more than 500 largely new employees, but as Emma Jayne, HR director at The Savoy, explains:

When the hotel had been open just a year, we started to experience quite rapidly declining retention levels.

Jayne identi�ed falling engagement levels as the chief reason behind the rapid staff churn. Employees may all have been under one roof, but it was hard for people to stay in touch with each other and to really feel part of a team. Jayne notes:

Really good people are hard to �nd in a luxury hotel environment in London. So, we had to make a lot of changes – engagement being the biggest one. And we looked at the marketplace to try and �nd a product and there was literally nothing out there.

Nothing at least until Jayne came across LifeWorks’s employee engagement platform, which combines a recognition program and staff reward program, which offers staff discounts at local bars and restaurants, for example. When an employee wants to recognize a fellow worker for being helpful or going the extra mile, LifeWorks gives them a way of instantly responding using their mobile device. All they have to do is simply select that person’s name in LifeWorks and choose from a list of behaviors, such as teamwork, passion, creativity or helpfulness, that their colleague demonstrated. Each of these behaviors represents the kind of company values that The Savoy wants to encourage.

Mobile generation A mobile and digital solution is ideal for The Savoy, according to Jayne, because 70% of the workers are millennials or Gen Y, used to updating their social media status every hour (if not more):

The Savoy serves up rewards to employees – diginomica

It was really a no-brainer. I don’t know why all hotels don’t have something like this. The results in such a short space of time were phenomenal. Every day there’s on average 10 recommendations going peer-to-peer – they take the time to thank each other. Jayne is in no doubt that “the returns far outweigh the investment”:

Two months after implementing it, we did our annual engagement survey. Emma Jayne, HR director at The Savoy Scores had started climbing since that �rst disastrous result, but they really took a big step forward and we achieved a result of 93% of our colleagues who are highly engaged at work. While LifeWorks was just one out of a number of initiatives to improve engagement, Jayne is convinced that it has played an important role in changing engagement at the hotel. Turnover has dropped to 31% and has remained steady at that level for a year. And the effect of happier staff has been felt by customers. The Savoy has improved its rating on TripAdvisor and the guest scores given to the hotel have �oated around 90% mark. Using LifeWorks is voluntary, but there’s been an impressive 80% sign up so far and Jayne is striving for a perfect 100%. User numbers ramped up quickly, egged on by a series of initiatives to educate staff, says Jayne:

We had a quite targeted campaign for signing up – we put posters up in heavy traf�c areas in the hotel and worked on managers to get them signed up.

Alongside the recognition and discounts, there are also bespoke Savoy discounts for staff on LiveWorks and last month the hotel introduced ‘spot awards’. When the hotel wants to reward a member of staff, Jayne simply has to type in the name into LifeWorks and money drops into their online wallet for them to spend on discounted offers. This kind of spot reward was previously paper based and it could take some time before the person was rewarded for their act ions. The advantage of this system, says Jayne, is that it enables instant recognition. Currently these awards are handled by HR, but LifeWorks is working with the hotel to enable department heads themselves to bestow these spot awards from an allocated budget. Jayne believes that:

It just means so much more if it comes from your own manager and that your own manager has recognized that you stayed an hour later or went the extra mile.

Using LifeWorks has spurred on the hotel to look at making other changes in the way it communicates with staff. Gone are the formal quarterly meeting in the ballroom, and in their place are quick monthly updates in a function room. It’s also made it look more closely at its whole wellness agenda; there’s gym discounts, a running club and the hotel is just about to start working with a nutritionist. Jayne explains:

Hotel work is very physical, so people are working on their feet all day, so we try to ‘bespoke’ our bene�ts so they will be really appealing to employees, such gym membership and ensuring the staff restaurant has a healthy menu selection.

It’s coming up to the �rst anniversary of LifeWorks at The Savoy, but says Jayne: The Savoy serves up rewards to employees – diginomica

Located at the iconic Savoy hotel, Kaspar's Seafood Bar and Grill transports diners to all the glamour of the roaring 20's. A dazzling Art Deco interior sets the scene for a luxurious dining experience, with suitably theatrical touches given its theatreland surrounds. Guests are greeted under gilded ceilings, to glistening marble flooring and glowing Murano fittings. Despite the dazzling decor, the menu is temptingly approachable. Choose from a sumptuous array of seafood, including freshest rock oysters, succulent smoked salmon and premium caviar, all from only the very finest purveyors. An extensive selection of sushi and sashimi are also available. As its name suggests, Grills are a speciality here also, and satisfying portions of meats, from spring lamb to tender Hereford beef are perfectly prepared, accompanied by a plethora of sides and salads. Dishes are paired with an exquisite selection of wines, expertly matched by the courteous Sommeliers on hand to guide you through the collection of by-glass and vintage wines on offer. A jewel-box corner of the dining room houses an impressive selection of cheeses, served with a tantalizing assortment of accompaniments. Leave room for the scrumptious dessert - a fitting finale to a dramatic dining experience! An all day dining menu extends to a breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as pre and post-theatre menus in order to best enjoy the multitude of attractions right on its very doorstep. Kaspar's Seafood Bar & Grill is the perfect choice when exploring the environs or when staying at this elegant hotel - still one of the most iconic choices in London. Unsurprisingly, the service is as polished as the gleaming setting (impressively, the hotel was the very first worldwide to be lit with electricity!) and you'll be in excellent hands in the company of the historic resident-mascot here, Kaspar the Cat!

A brush with greatness RICHARD HARRIS MICHAEL TUFT

After my boy died from meningitis in 1992, I wanted to compile and release a CD of WB Yeats poems performed by musicians and artists in his memory. Bereavement causes peculiar reactions such as that. That is why I, and my friend and co-producer Frank Dunne, found ourselves in the lobby of the Savoy waiting to meet Richard Harris. He had agreed to recite a couple of poems. We told the receptionist we had been invited to go to Harris’s suite. After a few whispered exchanges on the phone we were informed that Mr Harris had changed his mind and therefore could we wait in the bar until someone came to see us? Frank and I sat down in the Art Deco American bar, unsure what the news meant, but certain it was not good. We were going to get blown out. A flunkey was on the way down to give us the news. Then we saw an odd-looking gent peering in at us from the threshold. Whatever the bar dress code was, this man was breaking it. He wore shapeless grey jogging pants, a green rugby jersey, a bathrobe tied at the waist and flipflops. It was Richard Harris and he was coming towards us. “Are you the Yeats boys?” he asked, in a deep growling rasp. We said we were. “My voice has gone. I can’t do it.” He was a man you could describe

as hoarse. But instead of turning on his heels, he sat down. He had, he explained, been up all night shouting at rugby on the telly from Australia. That was why his voice was shot. I like to think he sensed our disappointment and wanted to make amends, or maybe he had time to kill. Whatever, he called over the waiter. “Three bellinis,” Harris croaked. “I don’t drink any more but these are good here – better than in Venice.” He spoke in a stage whisper, but

he also had this habit of leaning in close and beckoning us to do the same as if we were to be privy to the most extraordinary secrets. Three more bellinis. He talked of his own days playing rugby in Limerick, he talked of the remote parts of Donegal, he talked of his own poetry, and of sparring with Muhammad Ali. He called Brando, “Marlon”. It was dazzling storytelling. It was part performance, undoubtedly, with rehearsed punchlines, but he just loved words, and he enjoyed his talent for using them well. Of the recording, he said nothing. After four or ﬁve rounds of bellinis, he announced he couldn’t stay longer. “Come back tomorrow boys, we’ll get it done then.” The waiter said there was no bill. We stumbled out. Through the fug of my ﬁrst – and so far only – pre-lunch Bellini binge, I was unsure if I remembered the new arrangements correctly. Would it really happen? The next day, we were shown straight to his suite. He was a man transformed, serious and engaged; at

Oscar: should we blame the parents? He wasn’t the first brilliant and witty Wilde, nor the first to be tainted by scandal, says John Sutherland

The Fall of the House of Wilde

Oscar Wilde and His Family by Emer O’Sullivan Bloomsbury, 497pp £25 * £22

ow to make an honest judgment on Oscar Wilde’s life, art and downfall? The approved verdict, of course, is that Wilde was the victim of a philistine age and those “eminent Victorians” about whom Lytton Strachey was so scathing. Yet, were Oscar to leap into HG Wells’s time machine and transport himself to 2016, the stern guardians of our public morality would do exactly what their eminent Victorian predecessors did. Send

him to prison. For considerably longer than the two years he got in 1895. Wilde (1854-1900) brought his trials down on himself with a prosecution for libel against the Marquess of Queensberry, with whose son, “Bosie”, a worthless youth, he was having a flagrant affair. Queensberry — frustrated in his attempts to publicly horsewhip Wilde — left a card at the desk of his club, the Albemarle, addressed to “Oscar Wilde posing as a somdomite”. The hall porter saw it, thus qualifying it, potentially, as public libel. Doubtless the porter, Sidney Wright, knew much worse things about members than “somdomy”. Wilde had, in his earlier days, scandalised America by lecturing in patent leather shoes, a turban à la turque, and a Byronic décolletée and — what affronted American manhood most of all — silk stockings. The allegation that he was a “poseur” had a certain historic plausibility. Wilde sued. It led to three trials. In the last, testimony from a chambermaid at the Savoy was introduced. Among the rent boys he took to the hotel was one, she alleged, “looking about 14 years of age”. Wilde’s bed, the next morning was “in a most disgusting state . . . [with] traces of

vaseline, soil and semen”. None of this dirty washing needed to be hung out, had Wilde been prudent. A room at the Savoy was not prudent. He was never, his grandson Merlin Holland (author of The Trials of Oscar Wilde) recently claimed, “an odious predator. The boys seemed to be willing partners.” Willing if paid, that is. One wishes to God Wilde had been more careful about “boys”. And that he had never met the wholly odious Bosie. Wilde was, in the years of his prime, married, with two children and a home in Chelsea. But he preferred hotels. He confided why, with brutal frankness, to Frank Harris (a loyal friend, if not always a reliable witness): “When I married, my wife was a beautiful girl, white and slim as a lily, with dancing eyes and gay rippling laughter, like music. In a year or so the flower-like grace had all vanished; she became heavy, shapeless, deformed: she dragged herself about the house in uncouth misery with drawn blotched face and hideous body.” Constance Wilde, true to her name, was a good wife, despite what she called her husband’s “filthy, insane life”. Oscar could not live with her when she ceased being an ornament to womanhood. And him.
