Six Senses London
A New Dawn: Six Senses marks its London debut with landmark opening at The Whiteley
Six Senses, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, has unveiled its first property in the UK. Breathing new life into the former Whiteley’s department store on Queensway, Six Senses London becomes a cornerstone of the brand’s emerging collection of urban properties which introduce a different rhythm into city life. It follows Six Senses Rome and Six Senses Kyoto, with further openings to follow within the coming years.
This period of considered and purposeful growth, stewarded by IHG, demonstrates that the core DNA of Six Senses can be authentically replicated across different locations. Whether on sun-soaked islands, high in the mountains or now at the heart of vibrant cities, guests can recalibrate and reconnect while enjoying the brand’s signature emotional hospitality, grounded in wellness, sustainability and crafted experiences.
Six Senses London occupies a full quarter of The Whiteley mixed use development, located just a stone’s throw from Hyde Park’s calm and Notting Hill’s colour. Within these walls are now habitats designed to harmonise with the building’s Art Deco heritage. Each environment is intended to reinvigorate, surprise and shift perspectives, responding to light and movement, while supporting biodiversity through green roofs and seasonal perennial planting to attract pollinators and weave nature into the city's fabric. Spaces created by AvroKO in collaboration with EPR Architects include 109 bedrooms and suites, many with private terraces and 14 Six Senses branded residences. The modern British dining at Whiteley’s Kitchen, Bar and Café celebrates simple pleasures in what is set to become a neighbourhood constant.
Six Senses London’s spa, a 2,300-square-metre wellness facility, captures the different energies of city life in one continuous flow between movement and stillness in a balanced and restorative environment. Highlights include London’s first hotel magnesium pool, a 20-metre indoor swimming pool, cryotherapy, flotation and recovery spaces, a longevity clinic, and the Alchemy Bar, Fitness Centre and Biohack Recovery Lounge, a state-of-the-art space dedicated to performance and longevity.
Six Senses London also features the very first Six Senses Place – a new private members concept where the Six Senses lifestyle meets the rhythm of the city with a beautiful ecosystem designed to encourage reconnection, community and high-tech wellness.
General Manager Nick Yarnell continues his journey with Six Senses following previous roles as General Manager for Six Senses Douro Valley and Regional General Manager for all European properties.
With its unique residences, retail and amenities, The Whiteley represents a complete re-imagining of a historic address of epic scale and proportion. The opening of Six Senses London here reflects a deep collaboration and shared commitment between IHG, CC Land Holdings Ltd., Valouran and Gruppo Statuto.
The opening of Six Senses London contributes to IHG’s leading Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio. Since acquiring the Six Senses brand in 2019, IHG has thoughtfully sought new opportunities to broaden the brand’s presence across the world. There are now 27 Six Senses open across 20 countries, with several key signings in 2024 and 2025 to open in Portugal, Japan, as well as Bangkok in Thailand.
Six Senses London is now open, as of 1 March 2026. Reservations can be made at sixsenses.com. For enquiries about membership to Six Senses Place, visit sixsensesplace.com.
