Nestled between majestic rivers and lush forests, this new luxury retreat combines pure relaxation with adventure. The Six Senses RiverStone Estate, as reported by IHG, offers an opportunity for complete relaxation amidst a picturesque landscape in its debut in the United States.

A Luxury Oasis on the Banks of Foxburg

Located in the quaint town of Foxburg, the new Six Senses Hotel offers guests an authentic American small-town atmosphere. Despite its rural setting, there’s plenty to keep you entertained during your stay. The city of Pittsburgh is just a 90-minute drive away, but there’s also much to explore on-site. The 3,000-acre estate is surrounded by over 50 miles (around 80 kilometers) of hiking trails and seven miles of riverbanks. If you prefer spending your vacation in the big city, you can already book exclusive luxury hotels with attractive benefits through Reisetopia Hotels.

The Six Senses RiverStone Estate features 77 newly renovated guest rooms, providing a chance to experience Pennsylvania’s stunning nature up close. The hotel embraces the ethos of the 180-resident town, blending luxury with a slow, relaxed lifestyle. The combination of luxurious, warm design and an art gallery gives the historic estate a unique charm.

A Wellness Oasis Amidst Pristine Nature

Guests can enjoy yoga and Pilates, meditation, and stretching classes at the spa area, located in the centuries-old English garden of the Fox family. The 4,500-square-foot fitness center has something for everyone. For complete relaxation, there’s a 25-meter swimming pool situated 280 feet above the Allegheny River.

Saji Daniel, owner of Six Senses RiverStone Estate said, “Six Senses RiverStone Estate will be a peaceful refuge for guests to experience mental, physical and spiritual connection. We are stewards of the property for generations to come and share in the Six Senses ethos of sustainability, nurturing and conserving land, and revitalizing the Foxburg community. After spending time on this magical property, we knew we needed to share it with the world.”

The new luxury hotel also emphasizes a culinary experience focused on regional products and organic foods. Fresh eggs are produced daily on the estate’s own chicken farm. Guests will be enchanted by the traditional American charm while enjoying pure luxury in this rural setting.

Can you book Six Senses hotels with points?

Yes, it is generally possible to book the Six Senses properties with IHG points. However, most of the time I have checked the value proposition, it was not a good deal.

Pulling a random example of a 4-night stay at the Six Senses Bhutan, you can see the cash price at USD 7,296. The point price for this stay would be 1.2 million points, which equals to

729,600 cents / 1,200,000 points = 0.608 cents per point

This is not a terrible value but also not great. You can get much better deals with such an amount of points at other brands of the IHG portfolio. To be fair, however, if we assume a 0.0 cent/point purchasing rate (which is very common for IHG during promotions), you can at least save around 1,300 USD. Although granted, you’d be missing out on a ton of points you’d be earning from your stay if you were to pay with cash.

Ultimately, always compare and see if it is worth it. If you have a ton of points to burn, this might still be a good redemption if it saves you some cash you don’t want to spend. If you are short on a few points, check out IHG’s website here* and see if a promotion is running. We usually see a promotion every other month with points offered at 0.5 cents.
