1. Six Senses Fort Barwara
2. King’s Mansion Goa
3. Grand Hyatt Gurgaon
On the site of a 700-year-old Rajasthani fort with palaces and temples, Six Senses’ first resort in India is undergoing painstaking conservation. The 5.5-acre project – comprising 48 suites, two restaurants and a 2,800m2 spa – is owned by the noble Barwara family, including Prithviraj Singh, who is leading restoration efforts along with architects Parul Zaveri and the late Nimish Patel.
Located on the Arabian Sea, King’s Mansion combines heritage, design and holistic wellbeing on a frangipani tree-lined plot. With 17 suites and five dining areas, the retreat aims to facilitate holistic longevity through a mix of eastern and western spa philosophies. It is the brainchild of entrepreneur Sachiin Joshi and architect Rajiv Parekh, both of who see India as a luxury wellbeing destination.
Part of Ireo City – a sustainable 30-acre, mixed-use site masterplanned by Foster + Partners – the dramatic form of the 442-key Grand Hyatt begins with a soaring 17m-high atrium and goes on to accommodate restaurants, expansive banqueting facilities, and a spa. For the interiors, hospitality design luminary Tony Chi promises something “gamechanging” for India.
