Indian hospitality meets British tradition in a grand former school by Tower Bridge, London

In the early-19th century, this stately red brick building in central London started life as St. Olave’s Grammar School. Today, school lessons have been swapped for city breaks, following a careful transformation into a boutique hotel. From its warm welcome to stylish interiors, The LaLiT London shows that among luxury retreats, it comes top of the class.

Past and present, east and west, all mingle at The LaLiT London. The exterior spells neo-baroque British opulence. Inside, rich colours and contemporary furnishings proudly evoke this boutique hotel brand’s Indian origins. The rooms and suites echo this fusion of cultures, with original features balanced with Indian artworks commissioned exclusively for The LaLiT London. While at Rejuve spa, western therapies fuse with eastern traditions for a wonderfully relaxing experience. Elsewhere, the hotel twists its studious heritage into something entirely fresh – from a school hall turned stylish Pan-Indian restaurant, to the Teacher’s Room cocktail bar.

Taking a prime position on Thames’s south bank, The LaLiT London is immersed in city life. To the left, the Shard soars up over the rooftops, and Borough Market bustles with boutiques and bars. Further along the riverside walk you’ll find the Globe Theatre and Tate Modern. While crossing the river over means strolling over historic Tower Bridge. The LaLiT London puts it all at your feet.

Most comfortable stay

From the moment you walk through the door you feel looked after. Check in was a smooth process and we were whisked up to our room efficiently. I was celebrating my birthday, that the bought a small treat for us and it really made me smile. The staff always had a smile on their face. We had a slight issue Read more[SPLIT]Read lesswith the bathroom drainage but that was solved quickly and the stay overall was perfect. The bed was so comfy and I could not fault anything. We were perfectly located in London for what we wanted to do and would recommend the hotel to anyone. Another Small Luxury hotel exceeding my expectations.

Like a Luxury Country Hotel In London

We had a most wonderful stay - they room was lovely and the bathroom very nice The staff were always on hand to help but especially Tony the Head Concierge who was simply amazing We were even escorted by one of the concierges to a nearby restaurant - door to door in bad weather! The General Manager Read more[SPLIT]Read lesswas also very visible which I feel is important The hotels position near Tower Bridge was excellent with lots of nearby restaurants and the Tate modern nearby as well

Luxury hotel with a very friendly approach

It was my husband's birthday and extras in our room (wine, chocolates and birthday cake) were a lovely touch that was much appreciated. The concierge took time to highlight local hot spots etc.
