Oberoi to debut at big project in London’s Mayfair

LONDON – Oberoi Hotels & Resorts is moving into London by the end of 2027 because of a deal between London-based property developer Grosvenor and Oberoi’s EIH London Investments Ltd. to bring the Indian luxury hotel brand to South Molton, in London’s Mayfair neighborhood.

The £500 million South Molton project encompasses plans for a 267,000 sq. ft joint venture between Grosvenor and Mitsui Fudosan UK, which will deliver office buildings on Brook Street and Davies Street, as well as housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community and leisure spaces, all set within a rejuvenated public realm. The Oberoi hotel will be located on a prominent corner at 40-46 Brook Street with work expected to commence in 2025.

Grosvenor secured planning permission for the restoration of the 33,000 sq. ft Listed Building in 2022, as part of its wider South Molton development. This landmark project, currently the West End’s largest mixed-use development, will serve as a new gateway into Mayfair, drawing an estimated £6.5 million of spend annually, 1,000 permanent jobs alongside 450 jobs and apprenticeships during the construction phase.

“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.”

JLL acted for Grosvenor, and EIH London Investments Ltd was advised by Johnny Sandelson.
