Minor Hotels will open The WestDill Mayfair Hotel later this year, marking the UK debut for the Colbert Collection.

Designed by Sir William Curtis Green, the Grade II-listed former bank will feature 50 guestrooms and suites across six floors, in addition to a restaurant and bar.

Located on Piccadilly, The WestDill Mayfair Hotel London, Colbert Collection represents a unique strategic opportunity for Minor Hotels to grow its presence in the UK capital. The property will offer both business and leisure guests the ideal base, with easy access to many of London’s attractions. The hotel also marks the first European venture for international investor and developer Royal Group of Companies Singapore.

“We are excited to bring our new premium soft brand to the UK with the upcoming launch of The WestDill Mayfair Hotel London, Colbert Collection,” comments Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of parent company Minor International. “The property represents a unique strategic opportunity for Minor Hotels to be present in an exceptional location in central London and unlocks new avenues to partner with distinctive, character-led properties. We are delighted to be working with Royal Group of Companies Singapore to bring Colbert Collection to London and are confident this new property will represent a highly attractive offering for visitors to the city.”

Bobby Hiranandani, Co-Chairman of Royal Group of Companies, adds: “This is an asset of exceptional architectural pedigree, and our ambition has been to reinstate its inherent grandeur while sensitively reinterpreting it for a contemporary hospitality context. The building’s classical language, proportions and detailing provide a rare foundation for an intimate, design-led hotel, and we have approached its transformation with a disciplined focus on conservation, craftsmanship and long-term relevance.”

“More broadly, we view this project as a meaningful contribution to the continued renaissance of Mayfair and the wider West End. By reactivating a distinguished heritage building on Piccadilly, we are not only preserving its legacy, but also introducing a thoughtfully curated hospitality experience that will enhance the character, energy and global appeal of the precinct,” he continued.

Minor Hotels owns The Wolseley Hospitality Group, operating in the UK with restaurants including The Wolseley, The Delaunay, Colbert and Zedel, in addition to operating one hotel in the United Kingdom – now London, part of the group’s growing premium, disruptive lifestyle brand.
