Announced May 27, 2026, Six Senses London has officially opened its doors, marking the brand's inaugural UK venture. Situated within the iconic Art Deco Whiteleys building in Bayswater, the hotel occupies a significant portion of what was once a grand department store. Country Life's Paula Minchin describes the new establishment as a "sanctuary of peace, graceful architecture and wellbeing."

Our take: Six Senses has consistently pushed the boundaries of hospitality, merging luxury with an authentic sense of place and profound wellness offerings. Its arrival in London, especially within such a historically rich and architecturally distinguished building, signals a significant evolution for the brand, targeting an urban clientele often starved for genuine tranquility. This move solidifies Six Senses' position not just as a wellness leader, but as a sophisticated urban retreat provider.
