Doran has photographed the ambitious restoration of The Savoy, the world-renowned London hotel built by impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte in 1889. She traces the work through four periods of the restoration project; stripping out, which often exposed original detail, structural restoration and its progression into the new designs. The final section covers the final touches of decoration. Doran became captivated by the hotel's fifth-floor River Suites with their views across the Thames and developed the concept by returning and remaking images over 100 visits to the hotel.
