Living plants and a soothing modernist simplicity lighten the stately lobby, and the rooms and suites pursue this sleek-yet-organic warmth.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Queensway in Bayswater, morning walks lead directly into Kensington Gardens while Notting Hill waits just down the road.
The rooms
Rounded silhouettes, inky blues, and warm woods shape bedrooms, where glass shower stalls nod to vintage telephone booths.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and pool
Curved timber saunas sit alongside the 20-metre vaulted lap pool, with botanical blending workshops at the Alchemy Bar.
Gym and pilates studio
The 24-hour fitness centre features curved treadmills and free weights, flanked by a dedicated reformer Pilates studio.
Restaurant
Whiteley’s Kitchen
Chefs work at an open counter turning British farm produce into seasonal dishes, accompanied by house-fermented gut-health sides.
This lineage carries through spatially in retail display-led elements across the space, taking the form of vitrines, haberdashery cabinets and counter-like interventions.
At the table
Whiteley's Café pours specialty coffee and wellness teas, and marble tables under grand columns host casual all-day dining.
How it began
Founded in 1911 as London's first grand department store, Whiteleys once employed 6,000 staff beneath its sweeping glass dome.
