How To Blow A £200,000,000 Budget | The Savoy | Our Stories

New series going behind the closed doors of The Savoy to chart the inner workings of this iconic institution's 200 million pound overhaul. In December 2007 the hotel was closed for the very first time so that work could begin on renovation to transform it back to its rightful place among the world's leading luxury hotels. General Manager Kiaran MacDonald is in charge of the project, but things do not go to plan - the original budget is soon spent and on the day of the scheduled re-opening the hotel is still a building site. Construction site manager John Ferrari does his best to keep the thousand strong staff in line and on schedule but the completion date slips 12 months behind the original prediction. In the meantime the hotel staff can only plan for the re-opening. Head butler Sean Davoren starts his recruitment drive for a brand new team of hotel butlers while head chef Ryan Murphy starts preparing for the launch of the hotel's new flagship restaurant. Will they be ready in time?
