According to a report in TradeArabia, Small Luxury Hotels (SLH) has announced The LaLiT London as the latest addition to its collection of small, independently owned hotels in the UK capital and is available to book from July 26, 2017.
It is the first overseas venture for New Delhi-based hotel company The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group.
The LaLiT London sees the transformation of a derelict Grade II listed building into a 70-room luxury boutique hotel following a five-year restoration, and combines original Victorian features with custom-made Indian interiors and modern technology. Once home to St. Olave’s Grammar School, there are nods to the building’s history throughout, most notably in the striking panelled Great Hall, two bars located in the former Teachers’ Room and the Headmaster’s Room and some guest rooms which boast 30 ft. ceilings. The dramatic great hall is home to pan-Indian restaurant Baluchi.
Daniel Luddington, VP- Development, SLH, says, “SLH now has nine hotels in London, so any new hotel we add to the collection here has to be something really special. The LaLiT London offers extraordinary attention to detail and craftsmanship as well as a modern take on Indian fine dining. A stone’s throw away from Tower Bridge and the Southbank, we are excited to offer the SLH community our first luxury experience south of the River Thames.”
Arun Kumar, GM, The LaLiT, said, “We are delighted to be part of SLH, for us they incorporate the same core values to drive unique one of a kind experiences for guests, with a personal touch that leaves a lasting impression. Our London hotel is an incredibly special hotel to the family and its staff, and joining the SLH family feels like the perfect partnership in a portfolio of so many incredible hotels.”
