"A more meditative setting would be difficult to imagine for this remarkably contemporary structure, surrounded by woodland at the foot of the Himalayas, and Six Senses does everything in their power to preserve it. Natural ventilation cools the interiors, rainwater is harvested in the hotel’s own water treatment plant, and produce is grown on site — while cheeses, miso, and kombucha are made from scratch. Even much of the artwork on display is made from 100 percent recycled materials. Not to mention, the hotel was awarded LEED Platinum status in 2015." - Mark Fedeli
