Luxury Indian hotel group Oberoi is set to debut its first property in London.
Grosvenor and EIH London Investments Ltd have announced that the Oberoi group will open a hotel on the corner of Brook Street in Mayfair, as part of the broader South Molton development.
The mixed-use development will also include housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community and leisure spaces, along with two office buildings spanning Brook Street and Davies Street.
South Molton is set to become a new gateway to Mayfair, expected to generate £6.5 million in annual spending and create 1,000 permanent jobs, along with 450 jobs and apprenticeships during construction. Work commenced in November 2023, with all phases slated for completion by the end of 2027.
Rachel Dickie, Executive Director of Investment and Development at Grosvenor, said: “Securing such a prestigious brand as Oberoi Hotels & Resorts is a clear step towards creating an internationally significant destination in the heart of Mayfair.”
Mr Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman of The Oberoi Group, said: “Our partnership with Grosvenor is a pivotal step in our international expansion. London is a key market for us, and we are thrilled to bring our distinctive hospitality style to Mayfair.”
Vikram Oberoi, Managing Director and CEO of The Oberoi Group, added: “Bringing the Oberoi experience to London, especially in such a vibrant and iconic location, marks a major milestone for our brand. The Oberoi, Mayfair, will offer an intimate retreat embodying both luxury and the city’s dynamic spirit.”
