Staycations are heating up in 2025 with a lavish new array of places to stay – here’s our edit of the finest to book into, in every corner of the country…. With its cloistered, leafy feel, Devonshire Square is a welcome sanctuary steps from Liverpool Street Station’s rush – and a low-key locale for the first UK branch of Sir Hotels. With existing locations in Amsterdam, Spain, Germany and the Czech Republic, the group takes an indie approach to modern luxury with one-off décor inspired by its surrounding neighbourhood. Opening in April, Sir Devonshire Square will have its own botanical courtyard, yoga studio and members’ club, The Cover.
Because one ultra-glam Rosewood isn’t enough, the capital is about to get a sequel to the Holborn original – this time, in ever-exclusive Mayfair. Fittingly for the top-tier American hotel group, it will be set in the former US Embassy in Grosvenor Square, a Grade-II-listed 1960s mid-century landmark by architect Eero Saarinen. The vast administrative space is being reimagined with retail outlets, wellbeing centre, multiple restaurants and 146 plush rooms in what is sure to be a singular luxury experience.
Wellness super-brand Six Senses lands this year in the iconic former Whitleys shopping centre building in Bayswater. Hyde Park, Notting Hill and Paddington Basin are at your fingertips for exploring, though frankly the real draw lies indoors: a sprawling spa space complete with 20m indoor swimming pool, relaxation room and techy fitness equipment. Expect co-working spaces and destination restaurants too.
