Six Senses has confirmed the opening date for its first urban hotel, which will open in early March at The Whiteley in Bayswater, London.

The project had been delayed, due to the complexity of the build.

The restored Grade II-listed landmark has been reimagined by Foster + Partners. It will feature 109 guest rooms and suites, many with private terraces, and 14 branded residences designed by AvroKO in collaboration with EPR Architects and will icnlude the first Six Senses Place private members club, which will have a focus on wellbeing.

Wellness pioneer at Six Senses, Anna Bjurstam, says: "Six Senses Place The Whiteley represents a fresh chapter for the Six Senses concept, tailored specifically for London’s dynamic energy and discerning community. 

“It’s not just about wellness or socialising – it’s about creating a sanctuary where meaningful connections, purposeful experiences and personal growth come together. Every detail, from the design to the programming, has been crafted to reflect the city’s pace, while offering a space to pause, recharge and belong."

The 2,300 square metre spa will feature London’s first magnesium pool within a hotel (by Barr+Wray), a flotation pod and cryotherapy chamber, along with movement studios and personalised programmes designed to restore balance and vitality.

Pioneering recovery methods will be blended with ancient healing practices at both the longevity medical clinic and The Alchemy Bar. 

Members of Six Senses Place will enjoy a concept designed to blend wellness, culture, and community in a single space. "It’s all about creating a home-away-from-home for people who want more than just a club – a place to connect, recharge, and grow personally and socially," says Bjurstam.

"Membership is by application only, open to individuals who align with the values and are looking for a meaningful membership experience rather than just access. There are different tiers depending on lifestyle and we’re focused on building an engaged, diverse community that reflects the city’s energy," she said.

Whiteley’s Kitchen will lean towards seasonal, local produce with “a touch of West London character,” the bar will serve creative cocktails and the café will offer farmhouse bakes and small-batch coffee. 

Third Space The Whiteley opened last month in the same building.
