Six Senses Coming to London
byJessica Montevago/
West London’s iconic former Art Deco department store, Whiteleys, will soon become home to Six Senses London, marking the brand's entry into the UK.
Scheduled to open in 2023, the hotel, wellness club and spa will have 110 guest rooms and suites (starting from 355 square feet), as well as 14 branded residences.
Whiteleys first opened as a drapery shop in Westbourne Grove in 1863 by entrepreneur William Whiteley. A little over a decade later, the shop had grown to a department store. Whiteleys was redeveloped in the 1980s into a shopping center with a cinema and bowling alley, and subsequently closed its doors in December 2018.
The redevelopment of Whiteleys is headed by residential real estate developer, Finchatton, as development manager. In collaboration with the British architectural firm, Foster + Partners, and interior designers, AvroKO, in conjunction with executive architects, EPR, this historic landmark will become a sensitively restored mixed-use development.
原始的II级立面,中央庭院和圆顶将被保存,在米兰的La Scala Opera House上建模的内部楼梯也将被保存。
Inspired by the building's origins, the design will draw inspiration from nostalgic nods to classical detailing and Art Deco along with modern streamlining. Textured fabrics, bespoke flooring, reclaimed wood furniture and upholstery in natural tones with glass display cabinets will flank the walls of the 14,000 square feet of public space. Contemporary art from British artists will also be showcased throughout the hotel.
在让人想起一个老式的伦敦地下车站的太空中,六个感官将有3500平方英尺,专门用于健身,一个65英尺高的室内游泳池,一个炼金术酒吧和一个带有拱形天花板的休闲室。二楼将设有中央酒吧和休息室,共同工作空间,餐厅和健康室。
Other highlights include a cozy lobby bar and lounge, all-day dining restaurant with an open kitchen and seating area in the courtyard.
六个感官酒店度假村水疗中心在20个国家 /地区拥有11个度假胜地和29个水疗中心。自存在以来由洲际酒店集团收购earlier this year, the brand has seen aggressive development. Plans to triple the portfolio over the next five years with resort, hotel and spa openings are underway in: Austria, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Egypt, Fiji, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Nicaragua, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and the U.S.
