Today the famed five-star icon, known for its exceptional quality and impeccable service, relies on PSAV® Presentation Services to support the audiovisual and event technology needs of meeting planners and guests. Completing what is considered to be one of "the most ambitious hotel restorations in London's history," the luxury landmark property, now managed by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, boasts state-of-the-art meeting facilities all backed by the professional on-site service and support PSAV provides.

"There are many synergies between PSAV and The Savoy that make us ideal business partners," said Carl Chapman, The Savoy's Director of Events. "Our Banqueting & Private Rooms are designed to create an unforgettable first impression. A sense of occasion is set as soon as guests arrive.

PSAV can be everywhere you are, anywhere in the world." Jed Goryl, PSAV Director of Event Technology at The Savoy, said the meetings business is booming at this facility and serving as a single-point-of-contact for many of the facility's customers is proving to be quite effective.
