The critic for "The Daily Telegraph" wrote: "The Savoy is still The Savoy, only better. ... rooms are calm ... you are the personality, not the room. ... hotel is a saviour of The Strand I suspect now. The lobby is bigger and grander, and JUST THE SAME." A review in "The Guardian" noted that reception "now is sheer sleight of hand. ... In under five minutes I have been expertly drawn into the world of Savoy. and furnishings conspire to enhance my stay". While the same reviewer found the spa disappointing, she gave highest marks to the hotel's personalised service, the Savoy Tea, afternoon tea in the Thames Foyer, and the Beaufort bar, concluding: "The Savoy is back where it belongs – right on top." The Savoy Grill, however, lost its Michelin star and reopened to mixed reviews. Three years after the reopening, the owners announced that business had been disappointing, and the hotel was in jeopardy of closing. The hotel celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2014, at which time it received a glowing review from the "London Evening Standard".
