Lalit London is a new 70-bedroom, five-star hotel set to open in what used to be St Olave's Grammar School at Tower Bridge in London. Lalit London is expected to open late 2016.
Lalit London will be operated by the Indian-based Lalit Suri Hospitality Group. It will be the group’s first hotel in the UK.
The Grade II-listed building had been derelict for over a decade before conversion work began. The redevelopment will restore the school’s Great Hall into the hotel's restaurant and event space, whilst the Governors' Room with its panelled walls and elaborate plaster ceiling will be converted into a cocktail bar. The bedrooms will be individually designed with those on the top floor featuring a 30ft high ceiling.
Lalit London will include a pan-Indian restaurant called Baluchi.
The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group has 11 hotels in India. They are: The Lalit New Delhi; The Lalit Mumbai; The Lalit Grand Palace Srinagar; The Lalit Golf & Spa Resort Goa; The Lalit Ashok Bangalore; The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace Udaipur; The Lalit Temple View Khajuraho; The Lalit Resort & Spa Bekal (Kerala); The Lalit Jaipur; The Lalit Chandigarh; and The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata.
