Located just a stone's throw from the famous Hyde Park and Kensington Palace, the mythical building that was once the Whiteleys department store will be transformed into one of the capital's most luxurious hotels, the Six Senses London.
For its arrival in the United Kingdom, the Six Senses brand is doing things big! It will house 110 rooms and suites that will preserve the charm and history of the building, while offering all high-end amenities. There will also be 14 residences, whose owners will be able to enjoy all the privileges of a Six Senses house, including bespoke interior design, concierge service, dining, housekeeping, and wellness program.
As for dining, the original Grade II facade, central courtyard, and dome will be preserved, as will the majestic interior staircase. For the interior design of the establishment, the AvroKO firm has been commissioned! Their goal? To combine classic and Art Deco styles with a contemporary look.
As in all hotels of the brand, the Six Senses London will be equipped with an absolutely fantastic spa! In a space imagined as an old London subway station, this wellness area will be an ideal cocoon after visiting London. Add to that a large fitness room, a 20-meter indoor pool, or a relaxation room.
