London Sanderson

A lavish "Urban Spa" in the heart of London’s West End, Sanderson offers a retreat from the bustle of the city into a world of fantasy and wellbeing. The landmarked 50s building has been transformed by Philippe Starck into a surreal Cocteau-like dreamworld with a lushly landscaped interior courtyard garden, world-class gourmet restaurant by Alain Ducasse, and the extensive facilities of the renowned Agua Bathhouse.

Sanderson epitomizes a “new luxury” that is smart, pared down, and tempered with a healthy dose of wit and irony – in short, a hotel with modern sex appeal.

Rooms and Suites

In the world of hotel guestrooms, Sanderson’s are truly unique and groundbreaking. Designed without interior walls, the bathroom and dressing room are instead encased in a glowing floor-to-ceiling glass box that is wrapped in layers of sheer curtains.

Wildly romantic, sensual and dreamlike, the 150 guestrooms, some with private gardens, feature silver-leafed sleigh beds, a rug inspired by Voltaire’s handwriting and oil paintings of soothing landscape scenes that are hung, unexpectedly, on the ceiling.

Penthouse and Apartment

Sanderson boasts the luxurious Penthouse and Apartment suites, each with its own private elevator. Unique and groundbreaking, the rooms are designed without interior walls – instead the bathroom and dressing room are encased in a glowing floor-to-ceiling glass box that is wrapped in layers of sheer curtains.

Wildly romantic, sensual and dreamlike, these spacious and elegantly appointed two-bedroom units feature silver-leaf sleigh beds, large plasma screen televisions, kitchenettes, and custom handwoven area rugs inspired by a painting by 15th century Italian painter Filippino Lippi.

Meetings and Events

Sanderson features multi-service meeting spaces and hospitality suites, an Executive Boardroom, state-of-the-art audiovisual and telecommunications equipment, production, wardrobe, makeup and casting rooms, as well as a private conference facility. Plasma monitors for audio-visual playback, smart boards, electronic flip charts, portable computers, mobile phones and fax machines available upon request. Multilingual secretarial staffing is available 24-hours on request.
