Six Senses Residences Kitzbühel Alps
Jochberg, Austria · Six Senses · High Luxury
This Alpine project has become one of Austria's most publicized stalled developments: construction halted in summer 2025, a planned 120-million-euro investment from a British firm fell through, and Greenpeace Salzburg has publicly called it the region's biggest building scandal, all before a single guest has checked in. The plan calls for a 77-room hotel with three restaurants and a 3,000-square-metre spa, designed by architecture firm IAW with interiors by Martin Brudnizki, connected by gondola to the 233-kilometre Kitzbuhel ski region, though building permits for the surrounding villas are due to expire in September 2027.

History
Six Senses Kitzbuehel Alps is a new-build hotel and branded-residences development at Pass Thurn near Jochberg in the Austrian Tyrol, with a management contract signed in 2017.
The project comprises a 77-room hotel plus 10 villas and 30 apartments, designed by architecture firm IAW with interiors by Martin Brudnizki. Construction, which began in 2019, has been repeatedly stalled by financing disputes and management turnover: work stopped again in summer 2025 after British investment firm Roundshield's planned 120-million-euro recapitalization fell through, and as of mid-2026 the construction site remained abandoned. Greenpeace Salzburg has publicly labeled the project the region's biggest building scandal, and building permits for the unfinished apartments are set to expire on September 9, 2027, after which authorities could order demolition. No confirmed opening date is recorded.
