There actually is an "el" there so you need the "del" because in Spanish, when you're talking about someone (not to them) with a title, such as Sr. or Sra., you need to say "el" or "la" before the "Sr." or "Sra."

'Del' is a contraction of 'de' and 'el', and is used when the following word starts with a vowel or 'h'. In the sentence "Tengo una reserva bajo el nombre del Sr. Saville" it is used because 'Sr.' is an abbreviation for 'Señor', which is a masculine noun that requires the use of 'del' instead of 'de'.
