Lindsay Madden-Nadeau, FRHI’s director of spa integration and operations, has updated
Spa Opportunities on the progress of the group’s portfolio of ongoing global spa projects, including those in Indonesia, the US, Turkey and China.
The Fairmont Sanur Beach Bali, a 120-key property located along 200m of beach in the Sanur district on the southeast edge of the island, currently has a nine-treatment room spa and a gym. “This hotel was a conversion from Regent Hotels, which took place in November 2014, and the spa is now in the process of conversion,” said
Madden-Nadeau – who was appointed in July 2014. Products in use at this property include those by Intraceuticals and Decléor.
The 380-guestroom Fairmont Jakarta is set to unveil its 1,500sq m (16,146sq ft) Willow Stream Spa in March, including nine treatment rooms – two of which are couples’ suites – male and female relaxation rooms, each with separate sauna, steamroom, whirlpool and a co-ed relaxation lounge. Within the wellness facility, there is a 650sq m (6,997sq ft) fitness centre with private and group exercise studios. Decléor will be used in the spa at this location too, in addition to locally-inspired spa products.
FRHI’s Swissôtel brand,
as defined by VP of spa and wellness Andrew Gibson here, has a number of new openings planned for 2015. One of which is the Swissôtel Bodrum in Turkey, which is set to debut in June with 99 bedrooms and a 7-treatment room Purovel Spa and Sport. One of the treatment rooms is a couples’ room. There will also be an open hammam and wet facilities within the spa, in addition to a unisex relaxation lounge, juice bar and a fitness centre.
Madden-Nadeau added: “We also have a large renovation taking place at the Willow Stream Spa at the Californian property Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn between June and September and also at the Claremont in San Francisco between the same summer months, which is very exciting for our portfolio." Additional information will be revealed soon.
“A few more spas in the pipeline are at Fairmont Chengdu in China and Raffles Jakarta but there is limited information to offer on those right now,” said Madden-Nadeau.
