Six Senses London will officially open on 1 March 2026, marking the brand’s first UK property and a key step in its urban expansion. Located within The Whiteley in Bayswater, the hotel introduces Six Senses’ wellbeing-led philosophy to a city setting.
The project has been designed by AvroKO in collaboration with EPR Architects. The hotel will comprise 109 rooms and suites, 14 Six Senses Residences, and Six Senses Place London, the brand’s first private members’ club. Facilities include Six Senses Spa London, dining at Whiteley’s Kitchen, Bar and Café, and spaces dedicated to wellbeing, sustainability and community.
Leadership And Team
The hotel is led by Nick Yarnell, General Manager, whose career spans more than 30 years in international luxury hospitality. He previously led the opening of Six Senses Douro Valley and currently serves as Regional General Manager for Europe.
“In all my years working in hospitality, this is the most talented team I have worked with. What makes this opening particularly meaningful is that everyone has joined organically, drawn to the values and culture we are building at Six Senses London.”

The opening of Six Senses London has created more than 300 roles, supporting long-term employment in hospitality and contributing to the reactivation of The Whiteley and its surrounding neighbourhoods.
A Different Rhythm, Led In Practice
Wellbeing and ritual are led by Taffryn Kinsey-Ellis, Director of Wellness, and Charlotte Pulver, Head Alchemist, overseeing spa, recovery and longevity alongside hands-on alchemy practices.
Programming and community are shaped by Nico Eden, Director of Six Senses Place, and Ailsa Kerr, Director of Programming, who curate talks, workshops and gatherings designed for urban connection.
Food culture and fermentation are led by Executive Chef Eliano Crespi and Fermentation Expert Jelena Belgrave, working with hyper-local UK farms to integrate seasonal cooking and ancestral techniques across menus.
Sustainability is led by Patrick Jones, Director of Sustainability, embedding circular thinking through the Earth Lab and community engagement via the hotel’s Sustainability Fund.
Together, these disciplines define the interconnected operating model that underpins Six Senses London.
