Last updated on: July 27, 2012 08:12 IST

The Savoy hotel in London is celebrating the Olympic Games in style. It is preparing pastries, savouries and cup cakes for an Olympic-themed charity. All the money earned after selling the items will be sent to the Paralympics Organising Committee.

Savoy, opened in August 6, 1889, is Britain's first luxury hotel.

It is regarded as one of London's most prestigious and opulent hotels, with 268 rooms and panoramic views of the River Thames across Savoy Place and the Thames Embankment.
