Six Senses Telluride is slated to open in 2028, IHG Hotels & Resorts announced. The 77-room and 24-residence Colorado venue is set to be IHG's first luxury resort and residential property in the Mountain West region of North America. The property will sit just above Telluride in Mountain Village in a box canyon surrounded by the San Juan Mountains.
Six Senses will have an airy and refined sophistication that respects and reflects the setting, which was key to the project’s approval, along with LEED Silver certification. Sustainability is at the forefront of the resort’s operations.
“Becoming an active part of the community is hugely important to us and so where better to begin our North American mountain adventure than Telluride, with the global sophistication of Mountain Village and eclectic old-world nature of the town below," Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs said in a statement. "Having lived in the Colorado Rockies in the 1980s, I can attest to the mountain environment lending itself to the expression of our values around wellness and sustainable development today.”
The development team, led by Matthew Shear and David Jaskel at The Vault Home Collection, has been working closely with Six Senses to bring a one-of-a-kind outdoor and wellness-driven hospitality and residential experience to the Telluride area.
“We are delighted to be joining forces with Six Senses," Shear said. "The spectacular Colorado landscape, sublime snow conditions and quaint community-feel of Mountain Village inspired us to lay roots here. This project is the culmination of our ongoing collaboration with Six Senses to open this premier mountain destination to the world’s most discerning travelers and residents. Our shared vision is to ensure Six Senses Telluride is nothing short of spectacular.”
Six Senses Telluride is a 387-mile drive from Denver International Airport, 68-mile drive from Montrose Airport, and seven-mile drive from Telluride International Airport. A free, eight-mile pedestrian gondola connects Mountain Village to the historic town in a 13-minute ride, while also providing ski access.
It expands the brand’s presence in the U.S with previously announced signings including Six Senses Napa and Six Senses South Carolina Islands. Following the opening of Six Senses La Sagesse in April, Six Senses Grand Bahama and Six Senses Xala on the Pacific Coast of Mexico are also under development.
