Indian-based Hinduja Group has acquired the Grade II-listed Old War Office in Whitehall in central London. They plan to restore and convert the building’s 1,100 rooms into a five star hotel and luxury residences.
The hotel will also include a spa, fitness facilities as well as conference and banqueting space.
Located at 57 Whitehall, near the Houses of Parliament, the Old War Office encompasses 580,000 sq-ft of space over seven floors.
The sale of the property is part of the MoD’s wider strategy to rationalise its defence estate.
