Insider’s Tip: Guests are invited to arrive early to enjoy usage of the heat facilities to fully take advantage as it truly changes your well-being prior to treatment.

Splurge Treatment: The Black Orchid Facial. This treatment is a truly unique and luxurious experience that combines the powerful ingredients of the Black Orchid using its unique technology to rejuvenate the skin and deliver more youth and radiant skin.
The light-filled pool area features floor-to-ceiling glass windows that offer city views.
Favorite Treatment: Every treatment offered is luxurious and offers an array of benefits for individual needs. One of my favorite treatments is the Royal Honey Repair and Renew Facial. This treatment uses the Abeille Royal range, which is known to revitalize the skin while combining a purifying massage to leave your skin smooth and with a luminous complexion. The results have left my skin feeling completely renewed and recharged.
Additional wellness amenities include an oversized hot tub.
Unique Treatment: One of the most unique treatments is the Imperiale Face Sculpt, which uses a high-tech sculpting massage technique together with deep muscle work to smooth the skin and redefine contours of the face. The experience relaxes the skin and provides a lifted effect to the facial area.
The spa has three individual treatment rooms with private hydrotherapy baths, showers, and water closets.
Featured Products: The Spa uses Guerlain products for all treatment experiences and in our men’s and women’s amenity areas. The entrance also features a beautiful display of Guerlain products for guests to discover and experience after their treatment to continue their skin care regimen in the comfort of their home.
Guests also enjoy use of the spacious fitness center with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment.
