Gruppo Statuto has bought Six Senses London for £180 million.
The Italian real estate group bought the 109-room hotel at a price of £1.65 million per key and plans to open Six Senses London in early 2025. Six Senses London will also comprise 14 branded and fully furnished luxury residences.
Six Senses holds a 30-year agreement to manage and brand the hotel, with the future ability to extend.
Spartan Advisors and Taylor Wessing were engaged by The Whiteley for the sale. Baker McKenzie advised Gruppo Statuto on the transaction.
Why it matters

What they said
Adam Goldin, Head of UK, C C Land said: “Gruppo Statuto has a unique vision for luxury brands having acquired a strong portfolio of leading international hotels across Europe. Six Senses London benefitted from high investor demand but, given the existing relationship with the Six Senses brand and track record of relevant experience, Gruppo Statuto proved the right fit as a long-term custodian.”
Giuseppe Statuto, owner of Gruppo Statuto added: “With this specific deal in such an international city, we are proud to be a player in the first Six Senses London opening, providing international travellers a new iconic experience. Our strong bond with hospitality brands in the luxury segments continues in its growing. Furthermore, Gruppo Statuto is strengthening its role in the European market, with such an important milestone as London.”
