Six Senses Svart will harvest enough solar energy to power the hotel and all other adjacent operations. Even the construction of the hotel will be carried out using solar energy. This means Six Senses Svart will be completely off-grid and carbon neutral. It will also be self-sustaining, with its own waste and water management system and recycling infrastructure.
“The concept has become bigger than the project itself, as it will provide a futuristic showcase for what can be achieved in terms of sustainability and energy solutions, and therefore a blueprint within our hospitality industry and the development sector in general,” CEO of Six Senses Neil Jacobs said in aThat’s not to say the hotel is short on luxury.
The hotel will also house an Alchemy Bar highlighting regional healing techniques, an Earth Lab showcasing various eco-initiatives and a Svart Design Lab displaying the green tech. Elsewhere, there will be a zero-waste restaurant and bar that will serve up fresh local produce sourced from local suppliers.
This Norwegian outpost could be the beginning of a new era, too, as Six Senses has a further 33 properties in the development pipeline.
