“Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas is positioned for exciting growth into new markets, reaching new audiences and creating new experiences for our guests,” Jacobs said in a statement. “There is a strong and organic emphasis at Six Senses to our commitment to sustainability.  It is part of the brand DNA and influences aspects of the business ranging from materials used in daily operations to how we engage with the local community.”

The company also said it would soon unveil a new “visual brand,” to be introduced in March.
