London's Savoy Hotel, the "Palace by the Thames" that has welcomed generations of royals, prime ministers and Hollywood stars, reopens tomorrow after a facelift that cost 220 million pounds (US$350 million).
With its iconic Art Deco steel and marble entrance, prime riverside location and glamorous history, the Savoy is one of the world's most famous luxury hotels.
Claude Monet stayed for six months while painting views of the river, Frank Sinatra entertained guests and Winston Churchill held wartime meetings in the restaurant.
Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Charlie Chaplin and Coco Chanel have all stayed at the hotel, while Queen Elizabeth and the late Princess Diana attended functions there.
Opened in 1889, it was among the first of the world's grand hotels to have electric lights and it boasted London's first public electric elevator.
