About SAVOY

Originally constructed by the Britishers in early 1898 as the Malabar Guest House, Hotel Savoy in Kannur became a prominent luxury establishment hosting British officials. With a storied history, the hotel significantly contributed to Kannur’s tourism development, hosting dignitaries and celebrities. In 1974, the prominent business group named KS Group purchased the hotel, leading to its expansion and renovations to meet growing demands. By the 1990s, Hotel Savoy attracted global business and leisure travelers, continuing to enhance services through the 2000s.

Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, stayed at Hotel Savoy in 1947. Born in 1900, he served in the Royal Navy, played a pivotal role in India’s transition to independence, and later became the first Governor-General. His stay at Hotel Savoy remains a historical marker of his significant role in Indian history.
