Wanna sleep in Marilyn Monroe’s bed?
LONDON – More than 3,000 items from The Savoy Hotel in London will go under the hammer this week before the iconic hotel closes for a £100 million refurbishment.
Bidders will have the chance to take home some glamorous lots, including an armchair sat on by Alfred Hitchcock and beds slept in by Marilyn Monroe, Coco Chanel and Humphrey Bogart.
The three-day sale, being held by fine art auctioneer Bonhams, includes items from 215 bedrooms as well as the Parlour Bar, lobby and River Restaurant.
Items include antique furniture, gilt mirrors, chandeliers and a grand piano.
Harvey Cammell, director of the sale for Bonhams, said: “The auction presents everyone around the world with a once in a life time opportunity to acquire an extraordinary range of iconic items from one of the most famous hotels in the world.”
The sale stars today at The Savoy, in the Strand, at 10am (UK time) and will finish on Thursday this week.
All lots can be viewed online at www.bonhams.com/savoy.
