The Savoy, a prestigious 5-star hotel in the heart of London, has been offering world-class hospitality to its guests for over 130 years. As a Grade II listed landmark, it was the first hotel in London designed to embody luxury and comfort, setting the gold standard for impeccable service. The Savoy continues to offer an unrivalled experience to its guests, blending timeless elegance with modern sophistication.
The challenge
The Savoy’s dense construction materials and thick walls created significant challenges for mobile signal penetration, leading to weak connectivity that negatively impacted guest experiences, business events and operational efficiency. Renowned for its commitment to excellence, The Savoy recognised the importance of improving its mobile connectivity to ensure that everyone enjoys a seamless, first-class hospitality experience throughout the hotel.
The solution
WIG collaborated closely with The Savoy and the Mobile Network Operators to seamlessly implement a dedicated mobile network throughout the hotel, ensuring zero disruption to the guest experience. The system was strategically installed in discreet locations, preserving the hotel’s elegant ambience and aesthetic while delivering strong, uninterrupted mobile signals.

Destination for business events
The Savoy’s robust mobile connectivity positions it as a premier destination for hosting business conferences, meetings and corporate events. Event attendees can make calls and stay connected with colleagues and clients without worrying about dropped signals or poor reception.
Improved operational efficiency
A strong mobile network doesn’t just benefit guests, it also significantly improves the efficiency of hotel operations. With reliable mobile coverage, staff can communicate in real time across different departments and locations, whether they are responding to guest requests, managing housekeeping or coordinating event logistics.
Competitive advantage
In the luxury hospitality sector, offering high-quality mobile connectivity gives The Savoy a distinct competitive edge, meeting the expectations of tech-savvy guests who depend on staying connected. It also positions the hotel as a forward-thinking, guest-centric venue that understands and addresses modern connectivity demands.
We want all of our guests to be able to stay connected, wherever they are in the hotel, especially as so many people use social media to share their experiences, be it for social or business reasons. Our guests expect to connect wherever they are, and from whatever device they have in their hands. We have chosen to partner with WIG to complete coverage within the hotel, ensuring that our guests will stay connected and have a seamless mobile connectivity experience throughout the building. As a result, our guests can now make calls in places where they have not been able to do so historically. The future-proofed solution that WIG has implemented for The Savoy Hotel, currently delivers 2G-4G coverage and is 5G ready”
