Tea shop

An orchid display, by the ‘Savoy Tea’ a confectionary shop, inside the newly renovated Savoy Hotel, in London, Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010. The suave Savoy Hotel is back. The landmark on the Strand near the River Thames has been closed for three years because of a massive renovation that went way over budget, but it reopened Sunday with completely renovated rooms, suites, public areas, courtyard and gardens. Designers have tried to keep elements of the hotel’s distinctive Edwardian and art deco stylings while bringing everything up to date, and the owners have added an eight-room royal suite with an astronomical price tag of 10,000 pounds (nearly $16,000) per night.
