Six Senses London is one of the most complex and rewarding projects we’ve ever delivered; a few notes on why:
Not a refresh, a full reimagining. We designed every touchpoint, from the lobby and restaurants to the spa, pool, members’ club, guest rooms, and suites, all inside the Grade II listed former Whiteley’s department store. The original grand staircase was dismantled into thousands of pieces, extended, and restored by hand over six months. The staircase now rises three floors to meet the building’s original glass dome, which has been fully restored and now anchors the hotel’s Dome Bar. Every decision was made in conversation with the building, and the result feels completely of the moment without ever forgetting its origins.
