Many new hotels in London are located in the East End, but Six Senses Hotels has gone west for its first UK property.
Six Senses London has opened its doors within The Whiteley building, the former Whiteley's emporium and department store on Queensway in Bayswater.
Close to Hyde Park and Notting Hill's colour, Six Senses London offers 109 rooms and suites, many with private terraces, alongside 14 branded residences.
Crowning the hotel, the Whiteley Suite has a 125 square-metre roof terrace.
“We wanted Six Senses London to feel like a hotel that embraces you from the moment you arrive," says GM Nick Yarnell. "Warm, genuine, and instinctive, yet delivered with exacting standards and quiet precision.
"As part of The Whiteley, we honour the heritage of British craft and innovation while creating something that gives back to the neighbourhood and feels deeply connected to its community.”
The Whiteley's original Grade II listed façade has been maintained, along with its Art Deco heritage.
At the centre of the hotel is the restored grand staircase, once the defining feature of the original department store. Deconstructed, lengthened, and rebuilt by hand, it now ascends through three floors up to the glass-domed ceiling.
Alongside London's first hotel magnesium pool, which supports muscular recovery and nervous system regulation, there is a 20-metre indoor swimming pool, a 325-square-metre fitness centre, and dedicated yoga and mindful movement studios along with a spa.

Thirteen wellness spaces and six treatment rooms encompass cryotherapy, flotation, red-light therapies, a traditional hammam, and a sensory suite.
Six Senses London offers "maverick British cuisine" at Whiteley's Kitchen, Bar and Café.
Executive chef Eliano Crespi and head chef Jose Jara present vegetable-forward menus while at the bar, cocktails are constructed to work with or without alcohol.
Above the lobby sits the world's first Six Senses Place - a social and wellness members' club.
