A Six Senses Hotel Just Opened in London, and the Interior Design of Its 'Alchemy Bar' Alone Is Worth Stopping by, Even Just for a Cocktail

An arched wooden door, surrounded by neutral-tinted brickwork, indoor plants, and a dark cement floor with white awnings, lets passersby look into a wood-furnished, apothecary-style nar with beige pendant lights, trailing plants, and lots of stuffed jars.

After months of teasers and trepidation, Six Senses, the world-renowned urban wellness hotel concept, has finally landed in London, with interiors co-authored by award-winning studio AvroKO and EPR Architects. Housed within the masterfully restored, 56,700-square-meter former Whiteley's emporium on Bayswater's Queensway, now simply The Whiteley, Six Senses London brings its reinvigorating vision of leisure to the capital by combining its pillars of emotional hospitality, wellness, and sustainability with the organic, beautifully tactile nature of British craftsmanship. A perfect match for those looking for the best London hotels to recharge in style.

Steps away from lush Hyde Park, Six Senses London has 109 rooms and suites and 14 bespoke residences, an integrated wellness center distilling one-to-one advice on sleep, metabolism, and stress, and a longevity clinic offering advanced blood diagnostics, IV nutrient therapy, and hormone optimisation, among others. The 2,300-square-meter spa, inspired by the dynamism of London's underground, features a nervous system-aiding magnesium pool, treatment rooms offering services like cryotherapy, and a full-reset Biohack Recovery Lounge that's sure to put you back on track.
