K West

K West, designed by Noel Pierce of Pierce Design International, launched in Shepherd’s Bush in December 2001.

The modern glass exterior of the hotel creates a huge impact, allowing light to stream into the entrance lobby and the open-plan K Lounge bar area. In the bar, which is open exclusively to hotel and K SPA guests, a modern fireplace runs along the rear wall. Funky music creates a vibrant ambience.

In the sleek lobby area and corridors, micro television screens show a combination of BBC24 and moving art with sound. The technology behind the sound is so precise that the TV’s can only be heard within a half metre radius.

Located on the ground floor, the holistic K SPA offers unusual treatments such as the Dry Flotation Tank and E’SPA Oshadi Envelopment. It has also introduced the E’SPA Hot Stone Treatment, and is one of the few spas in the UK to have a Double Therapy Room (complete with its own private sauna) so that friends and partners can enjoy side-by-side treatments.

The Jacuzzi, eucalyptus steam room, lemon steam room, sauna, plus towels, toiletries, hair dryers, individual lockers and fresh fruit are all complimentary to hotel guests.

The 222 bedrooms feature a subtle colour scheme of taupe, brown and cream in leather, walnut and suede, alongside stainless steel and sandblasted glass. Wide screen TVs, DVDs, Hi-Fis and oversize beds are fitted as standard in deluxe rooms, while the sexy bathrooms feature Philippe Starck fittings against limestone mosaics.

PS 2’s are available from Room Service together with a library of CDs, videos and games for use in the room. The original artwork in every room has been specially commissioned by the hotel.

The light airy meeting rooms at K West can accommodate up to 60 delegates in boardroom or presentation style.

The price for an Executive Double starts at £205 per night (excluding VAT).
