Oberoi Hotels & Resorts is going to London’s Mayfair

No one does luxury hospitality much like the Indian giant, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts. Being part of the world’s leading hotel list year after year, it was high time that Oberoi made its presence felt in some of the bigger cities in the West. The time has finally come. Oberoi Hotels & Resorts has announced a new hotel in the heart of London at Mayfair and we are gleaming with joy. As a proud Indian at heart it indeed brings us immense joy.

In collaboration with Grosvenor and EIH London Investments Ltd, Mayfair will be home to the Indian luxury hospitality group’s first Oberoi Hotel in the UK. The hotel will be located on 40-46 Brook Street, to become a premier luxury boutique hotel, showcasing Oberoi’s iconic design, world-class service and attention to detail. Expressing his excitement about the new Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, Mr. Vikram Oberoi, Managing Director and CEO of The Oberoi Group, shared, “We are delighted to bring the legendary Oberoi hospitality to London, especially in such an iconic location as Mayfair. 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.” For India, this debut is a proud moment, showcasing one of the country’s most prestigious hospitality brands in the very heart of the UK.

The new hotel is part of the Grosvenor project which secured planning permission for the restoration of the 33,000 sq. ft Listed Building in 2022, as part of its wider South Molton development. “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 Ms. Rachel Dickie, Executive Director of Investment and Development, Grosvenor. This landmark project will include the hotel, new office space, housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community and leisure spaces, all set within a rejuvenated public realm. Work began on site in November 2023, and it is scheduled to open by the end of 2027.

Oberoi hotels are known for a certain sophistication and the perfect balance of luxury and warmth. This is a trait London’s high-end hospitality scene is bound to appreciate, especially as more people look for hotels that don’t just look lavish but also make them feel cared for. This expansion also marks a key achievement for India in the global luxury market. The Oberoi Group, which has earned accolades worldwide, now has an opportunity to share India’s unique blend of warmth and meticulous attention to detail in a city that’s long been home to world-renowned hotels. And for Indians travelling to London, there’s a touch of home waiting for them there now. Adding to the new association, Mr. Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman of The Oberoi Group, said in a press release, “ 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.
