Six Senses Hotel

Six Senses London forms part of the £1.5bn redevelopment of the former Whiteleys Department Store, introducing the brand’s first UK hotel within a complex mixed-use setting. The scheme brings together 109 guest rooms and suites, 14 branded residences, restaurants and bars, a 2,300m² spa and the world’s first Six Senses Place members’ club. The challenge was to accommodate this varied luxury offer while working within the constraints of the historic building and celebrating defining features such as the grand staircase and glass-domed atrium, made even more challenging by main contractor insolvency part way through construction.

G&T provided Cost Management and Project Management services, supporting the delivery of the hotel within the wider redevelopment and helping coordinate the many interfaces between hospitality, residential, wellness and public areas. Our team provided cost and programme oversight as the design developed, helping the client understand the implications of complex interventions including the spa, swimming pool, rooftop terraces and reconstructed grand staircase. This support helped maintain focus on quality, budget and delivery while protecting the distinctive character and ambition of the scheme.

Six Senses London brings together luxury hospitality, wellness and social spaces in a setting that celebrates the heritage of the former department store. Guests and members benefit from a 20m indoor pool, extensive spa, varied room and suite offer, rooftop terraces and the new Six Senses Place members’ club, all arranged around restored and reimagined architectural features. G&T’s Cost Management and Project Management input supported the coordinated delivery of these complex elements within a major mixed-use regeneration in the heart of Queensway.
