## Six Senses Expands its Luxury Footprint in Italy with New Hotels in Milan and Lake Como

Six Senses, renowned for its commitment to wellness and sustainability, is embarking on a significant expansion in Italy. The brand, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ rapidly growing Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, has signed new hotel management agreements with Gruppo Statuto, marking an exciting new chapter for Six Senses in the Italian market.

Following the successful debut of Six Senses Rome in 2023, two new properties are set to grace the Italian landscape:

Six Senses Milan

and

Six Senses Lake Como

. These additions underscore Six Senses’ dedication to creating luxurious and sustainable experiences in some of Italy’s most captivating destinations.

Six Senses Milan: A Hidden Gem in the Artistic Heart of the City

Nestled in the heart of Milan’s artistic Brera district, Six Senses Milan promises to be a unique blend of local history, art, and luxury. The hotel will occupy a prestigious location at Via Brera 19, surrounded by the famous galleries of Via Brera and the iconic masterpieces of the Pinacoteca Museum. The hotel’s design will be a testament to Milanese craftsmanship and timeless elegance, featuring stunning arabescato marble, intricate antique brass details, handmade smoked glass, textured ceilings, and mosaic accents.

Staying true to the Six Senses philosophy, sustainability will be at the forefront of every aspect of the hotel, from the eco-friendly materials used in construction to the thoughtful design of the Earth Lab, a dedicated space for environmental education. The hotel will also feature a peaceful internal courtyard and a signature restaurant and deli offering seasonal, locally sourced gastronomy.

Six Senses Milan will boast 68 beautifully designed guest rooms, including 15 suites, two of which will feature private plunge pools. The hotel will also offer a state-of-the-art spa, providing an array of advanced treatments, while the rooftop bar and sky pool promise breathtaking views of the city.

Six Senses Lake Como: A Glamorous Retreat with a Storied Past

Lake Como, known for its breathtaking beauty and historical allure, has long been a favored destination for poets, royalty, and Hollywood icons alike. From romantics like Wordsworth, Shelley, and Byron to the likes of Queen Victoria and modern-day celebrities, the lake has been an enduring symbol of luxury and leisure. Six Senses Lake Como will continue this tradition, offering a unique retreat on the lake’s western shores following the full restoration of the Grand Hotel Cadenabbia.

This new Six Senses property will blend modern resort living with the rich heritage of the Lake Como region. Guests will find themselves surrounded by picturesque gardens filled with rare plants, while the lake’s sparkling waters provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The six-story property will feature 102 spacious rooms and suites, significantly fewer than before, allowing for larger accommodations and an expanded spa and wellness area.

The outdoor pool and sun deck will be complemented by a unique floating pool on the lake, offering a tranquil oasis for guests. The culinary experience at Six Senses Lake Como will be equally exceptional, with a specialty restaurant and a terrace bar and restaurant on the fourth floor, providing stunning lake views.

A Growing Presence in Italy

These two new additions to the Six Senses portfolio further solidify Gruppo Statuto’s position as a leading real estate group in Italy, known for its impressive portfolio of international hotels. The acquisition of Six Senses Milan and Six Senses Lake Como further strengthens their collection, which already includes Six Senses London, Six Senses Ibiza, and Six Senses Rome. This expansion underscores the group’s growing influence in the luxury hospitality sector, showcasing its commitment to high-end, sustainable, and culturally immersive hotel experiences.

Neil Jacobs, CEO of Six Senses, expressed his excitement about the new Italian properties, stating, “Italy moves you like nowhere else. In few places do art, architecture, gastronomy, and the joy of living intertwine so effortlessly. Six Senses Milan and Six Senses Lake Como both speak to a purpose. The first is intentionally sized and designed for attentive hospitality and holistic wellness within one of Europe’s most dynamic fashion capitals. The second is a serene escape within the most beautiful lakeside gardens just 90 minutes away.”

Giuseppe Statuto, Owner of Gruppo Statuto, added, “Gruppo Statuto has further strengthened its collaboration with Six Senses to bring the brand to renowned destinations. Following its success in Ibiza and Rome and its upcoming opening in London, Gruppo Statuto is delighted to announce two further historical buildings in iconic international addresses. The Gruppo Statuto Luxury Hotels portfolio is now a benchmark within the high-end hospitality segment, where Italy leads interests and investments, due to its history, culture, and lifestyle.”

With the addition of Six Senses Milan and Six Senses Lake Como, Six Senses continues to expand its presence in Italy, offering guests an unparalleled blend of luxury, wellness, and sustainability. These new properties are poised to redefine the standards of luxury hospitality, offering guests not just a stay, but an unforgettable experience rooted in history, art, and the beauty of the Italian landscape.
