Pajares moves in with promise to keep up standards at the Savoy

Ramon Pajares, the new managing director of Savoy Group, has pledged to maintain standards at the hotel group that owns Claridge's, the Connaught and the Berkeley. He moves to the Savoy after 24 years with the Four Seasons Hotel, formerly Inn on the Park. He replaces Giles Shepard, with the backing of rival hotelier Forte, which has 68 per cent of Savoy.
