Pelican Hotel and Residence, located next to St George’s Hospital in Tooting, South London, have just announced they have attained planning permission to extend their lobby and reception area. This extension will enable them to create a café/ bar area which will service both guests and residents as well as the wider community including Doctors, staff and visitors at St George’s Hospital.

The current plans allow for the lobby to be extended by 1,944 sq. ft. which will offer scope for several options including hospitality and food beverage space as well as a bigger reception area for guests and residents, providing an improved customer experience alongside two extra guest rooms.

For over ten years, Pelican Residences has had an ongoing relationship with St George’s Hospital Trust and has been their recommended accommodation choice for students, hospital staff, visiting patients, friends, and family. The ongoing support from St George’s Hospital Trust is testament to the quality offering available as Pelican Residences is the Hospital Trust’s official recommended accommodation. This new food and beverage offering will service the hospital.

Providing over 150 residence suites and hotel rooms, Pelican Hotel and Residences is an award-winning establishment. The building is set for several exciting changes and updates over the course of the next few months.

Rahul Kanakgiri, General Manager at Pelican Hotel and Residences commented: “We are pleased to announce that Pelican has attained planning permission to extend our lobby and reception area. The extension will enable us to better serve our guests and residents as well as offer a food and beverage offering to the hospital and wider community.”
