Set across a historic local institution, Six Senses London’s restored shopping centre setting was famously referenced in My Fair Lady — and today, it tells a story of equal charm. Carefully considered interiors repackage the past, with art deco features, Earth-kind touches and the original winding staircase as its centrepiece. Seasonal staples enchant at the restaurant, and soothing spells come courtesy of a sprawling underground spa, its wealth of experts and host of healing treatments.

Our favourite rooms

All rooms charm with their artful interiors, open-plan designs and thoughtful touches; but if we had to pick just one, it would be the Corner Junior Suite Terrace (specifically Room 227), where dual-angle alfresco spots are idyllic additions to its sumptuous interiors.

Poolside

Crowned by grand arched ceilings and a sun-welcoming skylight, the hotel’s indoor heated pool spans an impressive 20 metres and opens 7am to 9pm. You’ll have ample space for your daily laps — although senseless drifting between treatments is equally encouraged with plush loungers lining the water’s edge.

Spa

Six Senses spas are a keystone of its brand — so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that even in a city tight on space, the group has managed to fit a subterranean space that spawls some 2,300 square metres. Inspired by London’s Underground network, a labyrinth of curved halls guides you between six treatment rooms, a cryotherapy chamber, Epsom-salts-filled floatation pod, Finnish sauna and cold plunge, hammam, rose quartz room and sensory showers. When you arrive, you’ll be invited to take part in a wellness screening so in-house experts can tailor programmes to your needs — allowing you to get the most from its soothing facilities, as well as the kitted-out fitness centre, Pilates and yoga studio, and biohacking recovery lounge. Should you prefer your healing be a touch less tech-focused, the Alchemy Bar has its very own herbalists to dispense natural remedies.

Packing tips

A penchant for placidity, and perhaps a list of wellness of goals — the spa’s in-house experts have soothing down to a fine art.

Also

If you take a fancy to the hand-crocheted butterflies that flutter around the place, they’re available to buy at the hotel’s boutique, with all proceeds invested into local rewilding projects.

Pet‐friendly

Dogs under seven kilogrammes are welcome, and will be greeted with their own bed, toys and bowls. See more pet-friendly hotels in London.

Children

Welcome; there’s no kids club, but babysitting can be arranged with 48 hours’ notice for £45 an hour (minimum four hours). Games are toys available at reception, and extra beds can be added to some rooms for £100 a night.

Sustainability efforts

Six Senses is storied for its first-class commitment to sustainability, and its latest London outpost is no exception. The building itself has been designed with 1,150 square metres of wild green vegetation on the rooftop to support pollinators; tanks have been installed to filter rainwater; an abundance of energy-efficient features (including automated controls) are installed throughout, and it’s 100 per cent renewable to offset emissions. Inside, natural plants freshen the air and single-use plastic is eschewed in favour of recyclable packaging. Everything from the food down to the wood-carved ducks in your room has been sourced from local, ethical suppliers; and there’s a devoted-to-educating Earth Lab and Alchemy Bar, where workshops are hosted by in-house sustainability experts. Six Senses London has also committed to reinvesting 0.5 per cent of its revenue into conservation and community initiatives, including urban rewilding and the creation of green corridors to connect the Royal Parks.

Top Table

Duos should secure themselves windowside seats for courtyard views; butter-soft banquettes suit bigger groups.

Dress Code

There’s an air of sophistication to Whiteley’s Kitchen, so we’d put in the effort come evening. Daytime dining is as smart or casual as you please.

Hotel restaurant

Helmed by a striking open-plan cooking space and designed to replicate a familial warmth, Whiteley’s Kitchen is the hotel’s central restaurant. Seasonal menus are crafted by head chef Eliano Crespi and draw on hyper-local ingredients to showcase an evolving selection of elevated British favourites. Over half of the dishes are expected to be vegetarian and vegan, while top-class cuts and fish will come from small-scale, ethical suppliers to remain in line with sustainable practices. Fermented sides will be in ready supply, too, made in-house by expert Jelena Belgrave, who packs her healing flavours into a cyclical selection of fruit and veg.

Just across the hall, the restaurant’s accompanying café stocks all sorts of pastries, sandwiches and Colombian-sourced blends for on-the-go sustenance. There’s a second, exclusive restaurant on the first floor for Six Senses Place members (you’ll have an honorary membership during your stay), which serves wood-fired pizzas and similarly comforting classics. 

Hotel bar

Pressed juices and brews start days at Whiteley’s Bar with an energy kick, before evenings bring home-infused cocktails, natural wines and sapid small plates to its cosy, wood-warmed setting. Six Senses Place has its own members-only Scala Bar for equally spirited sips. Both are open till 12.30am, although Whiteley’s closes at 11.30pm on Sundays and Mondays.

Last orders

Whiteley’s Kitchen opens for breakfast 7am–10.30am (11am at weekends); lunch noon–2.30pm (3pm on Sundays) and dinner 5.30pm–10pm (9.30pm on Sundays). Breakfast at Six Senses Place is 8am–10.30am; lunch is noon–2.30pm and dinner is 6pm–10.30pm.

Address
Six Senses London
1 Redan Place
London
W2 4SA
United Kingdom

Six Senses London sits in the leafy west neighbourhood of Bayswater, perfectly placed between Kensington Gardens, Westbourne Grove and Notting Hill.

Planes

Heathrow is your nearest international airport, with frequent 15-minute express trains to Paddington Station; or private transfers can be arranged for the 45- to 90-minute drive. Staff can also organise transfers from Gatwick and London City, which are both around an hour and 15 minutes to two hours away by car.

Trains

Bayswater Tube station is a couple of minutes’ walk away and is served by the Circle and District lines. For the Central line, Queensway is a five-minute walk; and for connections around the country, Paddington is a 10-minute walk or a short drive away. Private transfers can be arranged on request.

Automobiles

You won’t need a car in this well-connected capital, and parking can be challenging around these permitted streets. If you are bringing your wheels, there’s a supermarket carpark nearby that’s open 7.30am to 10.30pm (10am to 6pm at weekends).

Worth getting out of bed for

Six Senses London’s setting in the restored Whiteley development puts an Everyman Cinema, Third Space fitness centre and multitude of shops and restaurants within easy reach. There's more browsing to be done around Queensway, and proximity to Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove makes Notting Hill’s storied streets and independent markets your neighbourhood haunts.

You’ll find nearby green spaces in abundance, too: Hyde Park is worth the 25-minute walk for its scenic paths, lakeside cafés, access to Kensington Palace Gardens and in-park art gallery, The Serpentine. Additional solace comes courtesy of Holland Park and its Kyoto Gardens — a slightly further 40-minute walk (or 10-minute drive) from the hotel. 

Local restaurants

Steel panelling, marble tables and comforting Italian classics define in-the-know hotspot, Canteen, along Portobello Road. At The Barbary, cuisine takes cues from the restaurant’s namesake coast, with wood-flamed flavours that stretch Southern Europe to Northern Africa, and an alluring Grade-II listed location. For hearty British favourites, Six Portland Road wins with locals for its seasonal staples, extensive wine list and intimate setting (booking ahead is essential). 

Local cafés

Sunday in Brooklyn brings Williamsburg’s delectable brunch scene to West London, with pancake-packed menus served till 5pm. You’ll find Notting Hill natives filtering into unassuming Coffee Plant on Portobello Road for its award-winning, organic brews and freshly baked pastries. 

Local bars

In a city notorious for its pubs and pulled pints, there’s no place more fitting than The Pelican, where draught ales come paired with rustic interiors and roaring fires, as well as award-winning fare from esteemed chef Owen Kenworthy. At first glance, Suzie Tros seems nothing more than a neighbourhood restaurant; but head downstairs and you’ll find a cosy cocktail bar specialising in distinctly Greek spirits.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this healing hotel near Notting Hill and unpacked their hand-made butterflies and boutique finds, a full account of their city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Six Senses London… 

Six Senses has something of legendary status, and so it feels only fitting that their first British outpost — and private members’ club — has found a home in one of Notting Hill’s (equally prestigious) historic landmarks. First established as a shopping centre in 1863, Whiteleys was famously frequented by royalty, formed the backdrop for Eliza Doolittle’s My Fair Lady reinvention, and its winding staircase was a storied local meeting spot for first dates. 

Today, Six Senses London spans a quarter of the original space, and yet there have been no cuts to just how much love is in the air. The consummate hotel group has brought its signature holistic offerings (including a biohacking room, in-house apothecary and skylit pool) to a winding subterranean spa. Your wellbeing is prioritised up at the Modern British restaurant, too. Rooms are infused with art deco features and come with a temporary membership to the very-first Six Senses Place. And your West London locale is felicitously fabled, too.
