Hospitality comes naturally to the heir of the The Lalit Suri hospitality Group, but Keshav Suri has added his own expression to the fast-growing chain.

He has been busy with the The Lalit London that launched in late November, so Keshav Suri, Executive Director, The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, is more than happy to talk about their newest venture. “The Grade 2 listed building housed St Olave’s Grammar School and, more recently, Lambeth College. The property offers the best of Indian culture, hospitality and cuisine in the finest of Victorian architecture,” he says about the new luxe boutique hotel in London, which comes on the heels of The Lalit Mangar, an eco-friendly resort in Haryana. Suri is also looking after the nitty-gritties of an upcoming hotel in Ahmedabad and a hospitality school. Apart from these, the group is adding more hotels in the affordable The Lalit Traveller segment. From its first hotel in 1988, the chain now runs 14 luxury hotels across the world. “All our hotels celebrate the cultural ethos of the destination they are in,” Suri adds.
