An icon transformed; the lobby at Six Senses London

Alluring resort locations have long been the essence of the Six Senses global offering, but away from sandy shores and mountain peaks there is a new type of urban adventure emerging. Located in prime neighborhoods, Six Senses is redefining the city stay as a restorative escape amid the hustle and bustle of cosmopolitan life.

Wellness finds a new neighborhood at Six Senses London 

Mornings come with courtyard calm at Six Senses London

One of the brand’s newest hotels is Six Senses London, which opened in March 2026, having reimagined a historic West London landmark with purpose and care. Inside former shopping emporium, Whiteleys, the rooms and suites blend the building’s Art Deco heritage with modern sleep science. The result is a tactile retreat just steps from Hyde Park’s calm and Notting Hill’s color. The restaurant offers bold, modern British cooking and boasts its own fermentation lab.

Demonstrating its seriousness about wellness, Six Senses London hires its own alchemists and herbalists and dedicates an entire floor to the spa, which brings together high-tech treatments and timeless rituals, from cryotherapy to flotation in the magnesium pool. Experiences include gin distilling masterclasses and glass blowing sessions at the UK’s premier studio as well as bear hunts taking little ones through the streets of Paddington to rescue the eponymous bear in time for tea.

The NOTOS rooftop at Six Senses Rome

The Romans were bathers, and at Six Senses Rome, the spa carries the tradition on with a new take on the ancient art of contrast therapy. Guests are invited to journey through a circuit of caldarium, tepidarium, and frigidarium pools before venturing into science-backed biohacking and recovery therapies. 

Beyond the spa, Rome’s artistic heritage is celebrated through mosaic-making and art therapy workshops, which settle the mind through color and meditation. Up on the aromatic NOTOS roof terrace and herb garden, sharing platters arrive as the sun sets and the stars take over. For an intimate peek at the city’s wonders away from the crowds, Private Vatican visits at dawn and dusk, along with walking tours in Caravaggio’s footsteps, reveal another hidden layer to the Eternal City.
