Hotel Indigo transforms former BBC Studios
Hotel Indigo London K West Shepherd’s Bush is set to open its doors in March 2026, transforming former BBC studios into a design-led destination defined by standout food and drink, expansive wellness facilities and a strong connection to its local community.
The hotel will feature 231 rooms and suites, including generously sized Signature Suites and Garden Rooms – offering outdoor space in the heart of the city. Designed to feel relaxed yet refined, the interiors balance sleek, contemporary lines with warm textures and layered materials.
While firmly focused on the future, the hotel’s design subtly nods to the building’s past – once home to the BBC’s Kensington House recording studios – with carefully considered references woven into a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. Reclaimed and reused materials have been incorporated throughout, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and responsible design.

Food and drink sit firmly at the heart of the hotel. A series of social spaces anchor the hotel, centred around an open-kitchen restaurant design. At its heart is the restaurant, Flock, which will be built around a statement pizza oven. Head Chef Sami Saygi will bring his diverse and eclectic background to a relaxed, all-day dining offering.
True to its neighbourhood, the hotel will champion local partnerships collaborating with West London breweries, distilleries and producers to create a distinctly local food and drink experience.
The hotel will also celebrate local creativity and history via artwork carefully curated by ArtStory. Local work on display will include pieces by surrealist Helga Stentzel and sculptor Helena Lacy.
Wellness will be another defining feature of the hotel, with the launch of K West Spa later in 2026 set to introduce a large-scale destination spa rooted in a holistic, nature-inspired philosophy. The spa will feature an extensive Thermal Suite, two spa gardens, two dedicated couples’ suites, six beautifully designed treatment rooms, a fully equipped gym and serene relaxation spaces.
