NEIL JACOBS
CEO, Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas
Neil Jacobs' background at Starwood Capital
Group, leading the development of Baccarat Hotels
and 1 Hotels, and his 14 years with Four Seasons
has set him up for his role as CEO of Six Senses
Hotels Resorts Spas. He's determined for the
eco-resort brand to serve a larger purpose, with
environmental impact top of mind. Combining his
passion for sustainability, innovative design, and
experiential travel, under Jacobs' leadership, the
luxury brand is redefining hospitality through a
wellness lens.

A community-oriented approach

Wellness and sustainability are no longer
mere afterthoughts, having morphed into one
comprehensive term. These interchangeable
ideas are a hallmark of Six Senses. "We don't talk
about things that hotel companies talk about, but

we do talk about connection and reconnection.
And we also talk about community, because we
think that's what's missing in our world today."
Jacobs says Six Senses is marrying wellness with
community by operating their own thinktank,
which "is coming up with new initiatives all
the time." In fact, Jacobs' team is beta testing
a holistic anti-aging center in its Kaplankaya,
Turkey project.

Translating wellness into design

By researching neuroscience's influence on
wellness, Jacobs has made incremental changes
with the brand (think meditation rooms or
soothing water elements in guestrooms). For
example, to build the Six Senses Duxton in the
heart of Singapore, Jacobs transformed eight
historic shophouses into a 48-room property
with "absolutely no facilities," he says. "There's
a bar, a restaurant, and a lounge, but there's no
spa." In its place, a lounge next to the reception

desk was converted into the home for a
Chinese doctor who meets guests at check
in for a consultation. "You can do wellness
[anywhere]," he confirms.

A trillion-dollar industry

The nearly $4.2 trillion wellness industry
has grown 13 percent in the last two years-
twice as fast as global economic growth. The
largest segments are wellness real estate and
wellness communities, with nearly 700 going
up around the world. Here, multigenerational
environments, hospitals, clubs, and retail are
"being built around tremendous philosophies
of wellness." Jacobs is building one such village
(with 2,000 residences, two hotels, a club, and
a wellness center). This type of overarching
design "has always resonated with the group
and with me personally," he points out. "We
are in the right place at the right time, with the
right product to take us forward."
