The Lalit London opens its doors

Sleeper | 6th February 2017

Following two years of work and £30 million of renovations and refurbishments, the former St Olave Grammar School has been transformed into the 70-key Lalit London hotel. Situated on London’s Queen Elizabeth Street, the architecturally significant building combines an authentic Victorian aesthetic with Indian overtones and a school themed design throughout.

S&T worked with EPR Architects, the Suri Group and Archer Humphryes on the interiors and from the building’s original oak panelling, cornicing, and striking arched windows to its skirting boards, mouldings, chimneys and bricks, all elements have been carefully repaired or replaced with like-for-like substitutions.
