Six Senses is in the midst of a hotel boom, and now, the brand expanding its footprint in Italy with upcoming properties in two iconic destinations.
The company, which is owned by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), has teamed up with Italian real estate firm Gruppo Statuto to deliver new resorts in the bustling city of Milan and on the idyllic shores of Lake Como. The news comes after the company debuted an outpost in Rome’s Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini last year and the opening of Six Senses Antognolla in Umbria.
“Six Senses Milan and Six Senses Lake Como both speak to a purpose,” explains Neil Jacobs, CEO of Six Senses, in a press statement. “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.”
The forthcoming Six Senses Milan is expected to welcome guests in 2025 at Via Brera 19 in the city’s artistic Brera quarter. The hotel will sit next to the Pinacoteca Museum, one of the largest and most important art galleries in Italy. Altogether, the palatial property will feature 68 guest rooms including 15 lavish suites—two of which are decked out with private plunge pools. The rooms and public spaces will be awash in Arabescato marble, antique brass detailing, handmade smoked glass, textured ceilings, and mosaic borders. In addition, guests can enjoy the serene spa, a swanky rooftop bar, a sprawling sky pool, and a speciality restaurant serving seasonal fare.

Six Senses is also set to open a Lake Como location in 2028 in Cadenabbia di Griante, a small village town that has attracted everyone from monarchs including Queen Victoria to writers such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Mary Shelley. The six-story resort, which overlooks the water, will take over the former Grand Hotel Cadenabbia. The historic villa is undergoing a full restoration and will be converted into a five-star Six Senses property.
The new hotel will draw inspiration from the area’s rich heritage and connection to art, history, and nature. Nestled amid picturesque gardens, it will offer 102 rooms and suites. In terms of amenities, guests will find a floating pool on the lake and a sun deck for lounging. Plus, you’ll be able to take in the views from the on-site restaurant or terrace bar on the fourth floor.
