Hotel Savoy

Frommer's Review

This likeably run-down turn-of-the-20th-century hotel is just down the street from the similar but more expensive Grand Hotel. The Savoy feels smaller than the Grand and more intimate, though it's plainer. Many of the older period elements have been stripped away through wars and countless, often thoughtless, renovations. Ask to see several rooms, since they all differ slightly in furnishings. Some are jewels of the schlock 1960s and 1970s, while others try to re-create a 1920s feel. Choose your mood. Ask for a room away from the deceptively quiet-looking courtyard. At 6am, it becomes a veritable beehive of heavy construction work. For fans of Austrian writer Josef Roth, this is the Hotel Savoy of Roth's novel of the same name.
