The 30 Best Hotel Openings of 2021

In the fall, Six Senses made its debut in India with the 48-suite Six Senses Fort Barwara, a resort dramatically enfolded within the walls of a 14th-century Rajasthan fort integrating palaces and temples. Revitalized by Ahmedabad-based architectural practice Panika, landscape architect Savita Punde, and conservation experts for more than a decade, it is now in the midst of a rewilding project, which aims to conserve the natural habitat by removing invasive species and planting native and endemic trees pivotal for a healthy ecosystem. Expansive wellness offerings, a Six Senses hallmark, are buoyed by courtyard dining and suites looking onto private walled gardens. Photo by Kiattipong Panchee
