In 2008, Dior Institut opened its doors at the refined and elegant Hotel Plaza Athénée, located along prestigious avenue Montaigne in Paris. Faithful to the vision of iconic designer Christian Dior, who had a very special relationship with the luxury hotel that is part of Dorchester Collection, Dior chose the exceptional location to dispense its avant-garde skin care treatments.From facials and massage to body treatments and hand/nail services, guests can choose from a series of cutting-edge beauty rituals while being pampered in the most luxurious setting.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Dior has created an exceptional new spa ritual “Quintessence 10 Face Treatment” to reflect the quintessence of its expertise. We interviewed Spa Director, Mrs. Ichrak Laddem, who shares more derails about the new treatment, and more:

Why You’ll Love It: No place in Paris does beauty quite like the Dior Institut and we’re very proud to mark the 10th anniversary of Dior Institut au Plaza Athénée. Dior inspires luxury and French excellence.

Key Features: 5 treatment rooms, including one double; manicure/pedicure suite, steam room, personal training, tranquil relaxation room, sauna, and fully-equipped gym with state-of-the-art fitness equipment

Bonus: We get to know our guests; personalization is key.

Unique Treatment: For the Dior Institut’s 10th anniversary at Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Dior has created an exceptional treatment, the Quintessence 10 Face Treatment, that reflects its expertise. Designed around 10 exceptional moments, this ritual immerses you in an exhilarating whirlwind of pleasure and performance: a sapphire crystal peeling, deep tissue penetration, a thermo-active mask, and bespoke sequencing of targeted techniques. The Dior beauty therapist’s expert hands bring about deep relaxation and reveal a spectacular skin transformation. All signs of aging appear corrected, the skin looks plump and toned, texture is refined, and the face is illuminated.

Splurge Treatment: The “Cure” guarantees exceptional, progressive and sustainable results for the skin’s youthfulness, radiance and tone. Contours are redefined, reshaped and tautened to perfection. Price is upon request.

Insider’s Favorite: The Dior Prestige Grand Facial Treatment combines a 45-minute facial massage with a 15-minute sculpting massage that specifically targets the facial contour, lips or eyes. To prepare the skin, it is minutely cleansed and purified, making it more receptive to the regenerative and perfecting power of the Rose de Granville. Next, high-precision dynamic strokes release the tensions arising from daily life as they stimulate the skin’s regeneration. Plumpness, suppleness and comfort are restored to the skin, and the face appears restructured.
