Grosvenor and EIH London Investments Ltd. have announced that South Molton in London’s iconic Mayfair will be home to the Indian luxury hospitality group’s first Oberoi Hotel in the UK.
The luxury boutique hotel will be located on a prominent corner at 40-46 Brook Street. Grosvenor secured planning permission for the restoration of the 33,000-square-foot 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 include the hotel, new office space, housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community and leisure spaces, all set within a rejuvenated public realm.
At the heart of the project is a 267,000-square-foot joint venture between Grosvenor and Mitsui Fudosan UK, set to deliver two office buildings on Brook Street and Davies Street, offering corporate headquarter opportunities in one of the West End’s most sought-after locations.
South Molton will serve as a new gateway into Mayfair, drawing an estimated £6.5 million (around $8.2 million) in annual spending. Upon completion, 1,000 permanent jobs will be created, along with 450 jobs and apprenticeships during the construction phase.
Work began onsite in November 2023, with all phases scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.
