Located in the heart of historic Paris on rue de Rivoli, Le Meurice is a 5-star luxury hotel that is part of the esteemed Dorchester Collection. A short distance to iconic landmarks such as the Louvre and Tuileries Garden, the original palace hotel is the epitome of French elegance. It is also home to Spa Valmont, the only Valmont spa in Paris, where nature and science blend to achieve powerful results.

In 2008, Le Meurice established a partnership with leading Swiss brand Valmont, becoming a member of its exclusive V35 Club, a club that is reserved for only 35 prestigious spas worldwide. Spa Valmont includes a fitness center and offers a full range of relaxing treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh. We chatted with Spa Director Caroline Loison, who highlights some of the spa’s top treatments, offers insider tips, spa bonuses, and more:

Why You’ll Love It: Spa Valmont is a beauty cocoon where clients particularly enjoy the intimacy we offer, and above all, the made-to-measure treatments that are available. Each treatment is unique, whether it is a massage or a skincare ritual, using the Swiss brand Valmont. Each therapist takes the time to comprehend the expectations of each guest in order to be able to personalize the treatments and advice.

Key Features: Three treatment rooms, including a couples’ suite; manicure/pedicure area, relaxation room, steam room, sauna, gym with state-of-the-art fitness equipment.

Bonus: It is very important for us that each visit represents a true moment of happiness, relaxation and well-being. Of course, a selection of hot drinks and beverages are constantly offered to our guests. We may also offer champagne and our pastry Chef’s delicious pastries. Moreover, we try to find out if the treatment is for a special occasion, and if so, we adapt our surprises accordingly.

Insider’s Tip: Hydration is the basis of good skin. It is also important to drink a lot of water, and to have an efficient day and night cream.

Unique Treatment: A unique treatment is a treatment where all your expectations and needs are really taken into consideration. Each treatment is unique at Spa Valmont.

Splurge Treatment: The new skin care treatment Valmont Summit of the Cervin. For this luxurious treatment, Valmont presents five innovative techniques to help skin appear more lifted and smooth. After deep cleansing and exfoliation with Valmont’s signature butterfly motion, you’ll enjoy gentle facial massages to sculpt and lift features. The final touch is a collagen mask that leaves skin feeling firm, plump and restored.

Insider’s Favorite: The Majestic Skincare Treatment is a unique service that nourishes, sculpts and remodels, with pride of place for massage treatments: the face and neck enjoy a voluptuous 45-minute massage. This exclusive treatment combines three different massage protocols, such as the youth massage inspired by the Japanese Kobido massage technique. Kobido was created in Japan in 1472 for the Empress, and went on to become a traditional art of rejuvenation for Japanese women.

Guests of the Spa can also get manicures and pedicures.

Featured Products: You will of course find our privileged partner, Valmont—a Swiss cosmetics brand that is a pioneer in the anti-aging and cellular cosmetics industry. Valmont has been our partner for over 10 years as we share the same vision of made-to-measure service in order to satisfy our guests. We also work with Carole G for body treatments, and Kure Bazaar, a nail polish brand.
