Grosvenor and EIH London Investments have announced that Oberoi Hotels & Resorts will make its debut in the UK in 2027.

The Oberoi, Mayfair will find home in a 33,000ft² listed building, for which Grosvenor secured planning permission in 2022.

The property will form part of the company’s wider mixed-use South Molton development – currently the West End’s largest. The hotel will feature alongside new office space, housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community and leisure spaces.  

South Molton is set to serve as a new gateway into Mayfair, drawing an estimated £6.5 million of spend annually, while 1000 permanent jobs will be created upon completion, alongside 450 jobs and apprenticeships during the construction phase.

“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,” says Rachel Dickie, Executive Director of Investment and Development, Grosvenor. “We are thrilled to have such a fantastic anchor for the project at this early stage of development.”

Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman of The Oberoi Group, adds: “Our partnership with Grosvenor marks an important milestone in our international growth. 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.

Vikram Oberoi, Managing Director and CEO of The Oberoi Group, also comments: “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.”
