From Heritage to Luxury
Founded in 1561 by brewer Henry Leeke, St. Olave's Grammar School educated generations on this very site. The striking brick and stone building, designed by E.W. Mountford in the 1890s, stood as a proud symbol of learning until the school closed in 1967. The space found new life when The LaLiT Group transformed it into a luxury boutique hotel in 2017. Today, its historic charm and architectural grandeur blend seamlessly with modern elegance, offering a truly distinctive stay.
