Ambani books seven-star hotel till Sept for post-wedding celebrations

If you were thinking that Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding concluded earlier this month, then you are wrong, as Mukesh Ambani has reportedly booked a seven-star hotel till September for post-wedding celebrations.

According to British media outlet The Sun, the Asia’s richest man booked Stoke Park hotel till September to host the festivities with Prince Harry and former UK PM Boris Johnson are expected to attend the post-wedding celebrations.

Anant Ambani married his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant in Mumbai on July 12. The lavish wedding, including several pre-wedding events, is estimated to have cost $500 million.

It is reported that the Ambani leased the iconic hotel for £57 million.

Stoke Park estate in Buckinghamshire outside London houses a mansion, golf courses and tennis courts. Stoke Park, a grade II-listed, seven star hotel, must be used as a commercial property rather than a private residence, according to the terms of the lease as reported by Financial Times.

The hotel remained closed to the general public but open to members of the Ambani family.

Now, Mukesh Ambani has reportedly found a way around to book the entire hotel for two months. Around 850 golf club members have been asked to avoid the club.

“The Ambanis don’t do things by halves and so thought nothing of booking the entire venue for two months. The cost is chicken feed to them. The bride and groom and family will attend different parties planned between now and September,” the Sun reported.

“Security, which is tightened, has been told to expect Boris Johnson and Tony and Cherie Blair. Prince Harry is also said to be hoping to pop in,” it added.
