The Oberoi Group to Open First UK Hotel in London's Mayfair
Grosvenor and EIH London Investments Ltd announced on November 7, 2023, that the Indian luxury hospitality group, The Oberoi Group, will open its first Oberoi Hotel in the UK at South Molton in London's prestigious Mayfair district.
The hotel, located at 40-46 Brook Street, is poised to become Mayfair's premier luxury boutique hotel. It will showcase Oberoi's iconic design, world-class service, and meticulous attention to detail.
"Our partnership with Grosvenor marks an important milestone in our international growth," said Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman of The Oberoi Group. "London has always been a key market for our guests. We are excited to bring our distinctive hospitality experience to the heart of London. The Oberoi, Mayfair, will not only be a celebration of our brand at a prime location, but also an opportunity to showcase our service excellence."
The project is part of Grosvenor's wider South Molton development, currently the West End's largest mixed-use development. It will include the hotel, new office space, housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community, and leisure spaces.
"Confirming a brand as prestigious as Oberoi Hotels & Resorts will have its first UK presence at South Molton, in the heart of Mayfair, is what we mean when we say we are creating a destination of international significance," said Rachel Dickie, Executive Director of Investment and Development at Grosvenor. "We are thrilled to have such a fantastic anchor for the project at this early stage of development."
South Molton will serve as a new gateway into Mayfair, drawing an estimated £6.5 million of spend annually and creating 1,000 permanent jobs upon completion. Additionally, 450 jobs and apprenticeships will be created during the construction phase.
Work on the project started in November 2023, with all phases scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.
"We are delighted to bring the legendary Oberoi hospitality to London, especially in such an iconic location as Mayfair," added Vikram Oberoi, Managing Director and CEO of The Oberoi Group. "This project marks a pivotal moment for our brand's global journey. The Oberoi, Mayfair, will embody the very essence of luxury, offering guests an intimate retreat in the heart of Mayfair with the dynamic spirit of the city.
