Suite terrace, Six Senses London

After a three-year delay, Six Senses is finally set to make its long-anticipated UK debut with the opening of Six Senses London on 1 March 2026, signalling the brand’s next step in bringing its resort-inspired philosophy into major cities, following recent openings in Rome and Kyoto.

Located in Bayswater, near Hyde Park and Notting Hill, the hotel occupies part of The Whiteley, a Grade II-listed Edwardian landmark and former department store that has been reimagined through a £1.5 billion (AED7.5 billion) redevelopment led by Foster + Partners, with interiors by AvroKO, blending heritage architecture with contemporary design.

Taking up a quarter of the mixed-use complex, which also includes luxury residences, retail and dining spaces, Six Senses London aims to create a “centre for community” rooted in wellbeing and connection. The property will feature 109 rooms and suites and introduce Six Senses Place, the brand’s first private members’ club, a wellness-focused alternative to traditional social clubs.

More city resort than conventional hotel, Six Senses London devotes an entire floor to wellness, featuring one of the capital’s largest spas at 2,300 square metres. At its heart is a thermal suite with what is believed to be London’s first magnesium pool, complemented by a Finnish sauna, steam room, cold plunge, mosaic hammam and a flotation pod for deep meditation.

The dedicated biohacking and longevity zone offers red-light therapy, cryotherapy pods reaching -110°C and an AI-powered bike designed for optimal cardio performance. Guests can undergo an Integrated Wellness Assessment, analysing 40 biomarkers to create personalised programmes that blend yoga, osteopathy, Ayurvedic therapies and even Dr Burgener Switzerland facials.

Guests can also visit the Alchemy Bar, where a resident alchemist uses seasonal British botanicals to guide them in creating personalised scrubs, teas and simple natural remedies to take home or use in treatments.

Rooms are spacious and blend art deco and post-Victorian aesthetics, with inky blues, natural textures, oak floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Many suites feature roomy private terraces, open-plan layouts and freestanding tubs, while the flagship Whiteley Suite adds two king bedrooms, a generous living and dining area, kitchen and bar and a terrace running the length of the suite with sweeping city views.

Dining options centre on nutrition and sustainability at Whiteley’s Kitchen, Bar and Café, which will offer a “vegetable-forward” menu that’s 50% vegetarian or vegan, built on seasonal, locally sourced produce. A fermentation lab supports the focus on gut health, with kombucha served on arrival, while the café will serve farmhouse bakes and small-batch coffee.

Restaurant, Six Senses London

The London opening continues Six Senses’ strategy of bringing its wellness ethos to cities after decades of resort-led growth. Having launched in Singapore, Istanbul, Rome and Kyoto, the brand will next debut in the UAE with Six Senses The Palm, Dubai, scheduled for late 2026. That resort will feature 61 suites, a private beach, wellbeing club and longevity centre.

Further regional growth is planned, including Six Senses Amaala in Saudi Arabia, set to open in 2026, and Six Senses Wadi Safar in 2027.
