The interiors of the new hotel are being designed by AvroKo in conjunction with executive architect EPR.
Neil Jacobs, chief executive of Six Senses, said: “I feel nostalgic when talking about Whiteleys. I grew up in the neighbourhood and my parents used to bring me here.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to pay homage to this heritage and bring our brand values to life in this part of town, while celebrating our first port of call for Six Senses in the UK.”
Marcus Meijer, chief executive of Meyer Bergman added: “We are very excited to announce the agreement with Six Senses. It’s a key element in the transformation of Whiteleys as well as the wider Queensway regeneration plan.
“The Six Senses brand stands for luxury, design, wellness and sustainability, values that form the keystone of our vision for this vibrant part of London.”
