Following a complete transformation, the former K West Hotel will reopen in February 2026 as Hotel Indigo London K West Shepherd’s Bush, part of IHG Hotels. The hotel is poised to become London’s most exciting new destination.
Once home to the BBC’s Kensington House recording studios, the building’s design will pay homage to its rich musical heritage – where legends including David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley once recorded. The spirit of creativity, connection and culture that defined those early years will be thoughtfully reimagined for a new generation of Londoners, tourists and those on business.
The hotel will feature 231 spacious bedrooms, including a collection of suites where design meets comfort, a restaurant with an open kitchen, a neighbourhood bar, and an urban spa rooted in wellbeing — the first of its kind in the area.
Positioned just moments from O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Bush Hall, BBC Television Studios, and Westfield London, Hotel Indigo London K West Shepherd’s Bush will bring new energy to one of the city’s most creative neighbourhoods.
Further details will be revealed soon — marking the start of an exciting new era for this legendary West London landmark.
