Tourexpi
Putting
down roots just above the town in Mountain Village, Six Senses Telluride will
be tucked into a box canyon flanked by the rugged 14,000-foot peaks of the San
Juan Mountains. The area offers a unique vacation home appeal for its easy
access to a vast ski domain in winter and natural playground in spring and
summer, when wildflowers blanket the slopes.
With
nature this striking, Six Senses will blend
the drama unfolding outdoors with interiors that are carved as gracefully as a
perfect turn in the snow. The 77-key resort and 24 branded residences exude an
airy and refined sophistication that respects and reflects the setting, which was
key to the project’s approval, along with LEED Silver certification. That’s
because, as with all Six Senses properties, sustainability is at the forefront
of the resort’s operations. As part of IHG
Hotel & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, Six Senses
Telluride also marks IHG’s first luxury resort and residences in North
America’s Mountain West region.
Neil
Jacobs, CEO, Six Senses, said, “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. 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.
Commenting
on the partnership, Matthew said, “We are delighted to be joining forces with
Six Senses. 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.”
Elemental
inspiration
With
each passing season comes unique vistas, activities, and experiences, inspiring
the resort’s masterplan, led by architects Vault Design, and providing a visual
guide for the guest rooms, family rooms, and suites. Using natural materials
with local and historic relevance, exteriors comply with the town standard and
the finishes blend cedar siding and local stone. Interiors are designed by Rose
Ink Workshop, with a warm, light palette to celebrate the purity of the natural
elements.
The
24 branded residences will range from two to five bedrooms, and some will
feature a den. On days where the mountains don’t call, a gym, cinema, lounge,
and games room will provide homegrown entertainment.
From
first lifts to last orders
In
winter, the extensive ski concierge services will ensure guests and residents
are first on the slopes without having to lift a ski or buckle a boot, while
remaining on hand to book a range of crafted experiences. As the snow melts,
the on-site Experiences Team will whisper best-kept secrets for hiking, biking,
fishing, rafting, and destination dining.
The
multiple food and beverage spaces will include a specialty restaurant, Omakase
dining, the only rooftop venue with pool in Telluride, and a speakeasy bar. A
buzzy retail, market hall, and conference space will be open to the surrounding
community.
Science,
spirituality, and vitality
After
a day spent in, on, or above the mountains, Six Senses Spa Telluride will
restore energy levels and soothe aching muscles. Guests and residents can turn
up the heat and turn down the tension in the sauna, steam and hammam, and then
take the plunge in the cryotherapy bath to stimulate circulation and
rejuvenation. The sensory single and double treatment rooms will blend
high-tech longevity and recovery elements with ancient healing traditions
incorporating sound and the spiritual energy of human touch.
At
Six Senses, wellness starts with its own family. Host accommodations including
a library and restaurant will be transformed from typical, utilitarian
facilities into creative, inviting, and healthy spaces to relax, recharge, and
reconnect.
Six
Senses Telluride is situated a scenic 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.
Six
Senses Telluride is set to open in 2028. In the meantime, for more on the
