THE SECRET LIFE OF THE SAVOY - OLIVIA WILLIAMS ...

For The Gondoliers-themed birthday dinner  the hotel obligingly flooded the courtyard to a
depth of four feet to conjure the Grand Canal of Venice by the Thames. They painted frescoes in
front of its walls  strung fairy lights up to illuminate the night sky  and dressed the waiters
as gondoliers. Dinner was served on a gilded  silk-lined floating gondola  covered in
carnations  in the middle of the 'canal'. Real swans were swimming in the water  as the
Neapolitan tenor Enrico Caruso serenaded the guests under a paper moon. As a final flourish  a
baby elephant borrowed from London Zoo pulled a five-foot high birthday cake up the little
bridge to the gondola.
