New hotel for Heathrow
The operators of London’s prestigious St James Court hotel are to open a new property at Heathrow airport.
The Vivanta is due to open in 2021 and will be located across from Terminals 1,2 and 3.
It will have 108 bedrooms, an all-day diner, a bar and lounge, gym and banqueting and meeting facilities.
The hotel, to be operated by Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), will also house the fourth outpost of the legendary Bombay Brasserie restaurant.
MD and CEO Puneet Chhatwal said: "IHCL was the first Indian hospitality company to foray into the United Kingdom with the iconic St. James’ Court hotel in 1982. Today, we are proud to partner with Hayre Group Limited in bringing the first Vivanta branded hotel to London. This signing is in line with our growth strategy of adding hotels in key locations globally."
IHCL also operates the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences, in London.
