A morning walk to Iskcon and a £1.3 billion hotel: Inside the Hinduja's 'landmark' project

This impromptu decision led to a seven-year journey, culminating in the acquisition of the building for £374 million and an additional billion pounds spent on its transformation.

However, the hotel is only part of the story. The complex not only houses a luxury hotel with room rates ranging from ₹1,10,000 to ₹25,00,000 per night but also includes 85 furnished residences available for purchase, catering to a range of budgets.

The fully furnished properties are on the market for ₹4 crore for a one-bedroom flat, ₹8 crore for two bedrooms, ₹10 crore for three bedrooms, and starting from ₹17 crore for four-five bedrooms.

While the project's location in Whitehall may not be the typical choice for a luxury destination, the Hinduja brothers have aimed to change that perception by collaborating with international brands like Raffles and offering a diverse range of dining and spa options, a first for the area. They aim to offer a diverse range of restaurants and spa facilities, redefining the concept of luxury in this historic district.

With almost half the residences already sold, the Hundujas' vision is well on its way to becoming a landmark development, breathing new life into this historic London district.
