So we already know that The Savoy London does an unexpected line in ironing boards, but we hope they also have plenty of umbrella-ella-ellas - because its latest celeb guest has apparently been setting the place awash.

No, not Matt Goss, 80s boyband English superstar-turned Vegas crooner who brought his Sin City show to the Savoy last month; no, we're talking Rihanna, who apparently left the taps running in her £2000-a-night suite after she performed on X Factor last Sunday. ]]> juliab 2011-11-28T16:42:41-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/11/14/125918/35 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/graftonbed.jpg" class="top"><p> <p><i>Sleep tight!
