On July 10, 2021, the long-awaited opening of the Six Senses Hotel in Ibiza took place five-star conceived by architect and developer Jonathan Leitersdorf.
Metric Capital, owner of this luxury Ibizan hotel, would currently be found negotiating its sale to the Italian Gruppo Statutowho in October 2023 acquired the five-star Six Senses Roma (from Orion Capital) for €245 million, making it the highest hotel transaction in Italy and one of the highest in Europe (€2.6 million per room).
Statuto, moreover, would not be the first time it invests in Ibiza. In August 2023 it made its debut in hotel investment in Spain buying from Marriot the W Hotel in Santa Eulària (former Orquídea), which has 125 rooms and 37 suites. The Italian group owns, among others, the Four Seasons in Milan, the Mandarin in Milan and the Danieli in Venice, among others.
