Oberoi to open first UK property

Oberoi Hotels & Resorts will open its first UK property in 2027.

The Oberoi, Mayfair will be housed within a listed building on Brook Street, forming part of the West End’s mixed-use South Molton development.

Planning permission for restoration of the building was granted in 2022 and all phases of construction are set to be completed by the end of 2027.

Arjun Oberoi, executive chairman of The Oberoi Group, said: “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.”

The group’s managing director and chief executive, Vikram Oberoi, added: “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.”

The news follows a pipeline of new Oberoi properties set to open across India and Egypt later this year and in 2025.
