Six Senses Unveils Wellness-Focused London Hotel

Six Senses, long celebrated for its secluded resorts in far-flung locales like Vietnam and Bhutan, has recently pivoted towards high-profile city locations. Following successful ventures in Rome (2023) and Kyoto (2024), the brand's latest urban outpost opens its doors in London. Announced May 11, 2026, the Six Senses London occupies a landmark building that once housed one of the city's most iconic department stores.

The Points Guy reports that Six Senses provided them a complimentary two-night stay to experience the hotel and its amenities. The publication notes that while Six Senses properties were traditionally found in "dreamy, faraway locales," the IHG-owned brand is now making a definitive move into urban centers.

Our take: This strategic shift by Six Senses reflects a broader trend in luxury hospitality: bringing comprehensive wellness offerings directly to metropolitan hubs. The brand's expertise in spa and holistic health is a significant differentiator in London's competitive luxury hotel market. Expect this property to set a new benchmark for urban wellness, appealing to a clientele that values both convenience and a commitment to well-being.
