London, Mar 05: Six Senses London has officially opened at The Whiteley on Bayswater’s Queensway, marking the brand’s first urban sanctuary in the UK. Blending wellness, sustainability, and emotional hospitality with British craftsmanship, the hotel promises a distinct rhythm for the city and a holistic experience for guests.
Located steps from Hyde Park and Notting Hill, Six Senses London features 109 rooms and suites, many with private terraces, alongside 14 branded residences. The crowning Whiteley Suite offers a 125-square-metre roof terrace and the option of a private floor. Interiors by AvroKO, in collaboration with EPR Architects, honour the building’s Grade II listed Art Deco façade, while a restored grand staircase, rebuilt by Foster + Partners, connects three floors beneath a glass-domed ceiling.
Nick Yarnell, General Manager, Six Senses London, said:
“Six Senses London is designed to embrace guests from the moment they arrive—warm, genuine, and instinctive, yet precise. We honour British heritage while creating a hotel deeply connected to its community.”
Wellness, Stillness, and Urban Reconnection
The Six Senses Spa London, spanning 2,300 square metres, integrates movement, stillness, and recovery with 13 wellness spaces, six treatment rooms, and London’s first hotel magnesium pool. Facilities include a 20-metre indoor pool, a 325-square-metre fitness centre, yoga and mindful movement studios, cryotherapy, flotation, red-light therapies, a traditional hammam, and a sensory suite.
The Biohack Recovery Lounge offers advanced recovery tools such as PEMF therapy, sound loungers, compression boots, and inversion tables. Six Senses London also houses a Wellness Centre for private consultations and advanced functional screenings, and partners with HUM2N, a longevity clinic, offering diagnostics, IV nutrient therapy, hormone optimisation, and a hyperbaric chamber.
British Craft and Culinary Innovation
Six Senses London integrates wellness into every aspect of the guest journey, including its culinary offerings. Whiteley’s Kitchen, Bar, and Café feature vegetable-forward menus, fire-led cooking techniques, and a dedicated fermentation lab. Cocktails at the bar prioritize ingredient integrity, while the wine programme champions British producers and terroir-driven selections. The Alchemy Bar, led by Charlotte Pulver, allows guests to create tinctures and tonics from locally foraged herbs used across the hotel.
Six Senses Place: The World’s First Urban Wellness Club
Above the lobby, the Six Senses Place members’ club extends wellness and reconnection into an urban context. Programming follows the seasonal Almanac, offering talks, shared meals, and reflective practices aimed at personal growth and restorative experiences.
Sustainability and Community Impact
Six Senses London operates as part of a BREEAM-certified redevelopment of The Whiteley, employing over 300 staff, eliminating single-use plastics, harvesting rainwater, and installing 1,150 square metres of green roof space to enhance biodiversity. A portion of revenue supports local environmental and social initiatives through the Regenerative Impact Fund.
