means A crinkly-leaved cabbage variety prized for its tender, ruffled texture — also, by coincidence of name, a swanky London hotel and a historical region in the Alps.

from Savoy the cabbage and Savoy the hotel both trace back to Savoy the place — a historical duchy straddling what's now France, Italy, and Switzerland. The cabbage was cultivated and popularized there (its crinkled leaves earning the regional name), while London's Savoy Hotel took its name from the old Savoy Palace, itself named after a 13th-century Count of Savoy who built a residence on the site. So the vegetable and the velvet-curtained hotel aren't etymologically related to each other so much as two different borrowings from the same Alpine namesake.
