“We are very aware of the place that The Savoy holds in many people’s affections. Our guests have come to expect the best, and subsequently this is exactly what we expect from our suppliers. We are delighted to have Meridian on board as our Audio Partner of choice for the in-room entertainment systems in the guestrooms and suites at The Savoy.”

— Kiaran MacDonald, General Manager of The Savoy

Meridian developed a special Limited Edition of the M80 compact entertainment system exclusively for The Savoy in London.

The Savoy re-opened on 10th October 2010 following a £220 million restoration, and guests in 55 newly-refurbished suites are now entertained by beautiful room-filling sound courtesy of the elegant M80 – in a special high gloss black finish manufactured exclusively for the world-famous property.

Hand-assembled in Meridian’s Cambridgeshire-based production facility, the stylish M80 delivers an unrivalled listening experience, and further develops the elegant design and state-of-the-art engineering which made its predecessor, the highly-acclaimed F80, one of the company’s best-selling models.

The M80’s unique curved cabinet houses a powerful 80-watt 2.1 Digital Signal Processing (DSP) stereo system with a rear-mounted subwoofer, slot-loading CD/DVD drive, and AM/FM/DAB Digital Radio, as well as multiple analogue and digital inputs – delivering both a versatile and powerful audio package.

Guests can also use the system to listen to any track stored on their iPod®, thanks to the complementary Meridian i80 dock, offering The Savoy’s customers the opportunity to realise the full potential of their digital music library in the hotel’s breathtaking surroundings while away from home. The system also comes complete with a slimline handheld magnetic-backed remote control.

Meridian’s Chief Marketing Officer Graeme Taylor said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, and one of London’s most iconic landmarks. The agreement reaffirms the passion and commitment of both businesses to deliver unrivalled quality, coupled with the ultimate customer experience.” He concluded, “In addition, the M80 provides the ideal acoustic platform for which to entertain guests and complement the panoramic views of the Thames enjoyed from the hotel’s suites.”
