German product house Babor has opened its first flagship site in Switzerland – in the city centre of Zurich.

The compact, 80sq m (861sq ft) Babor Institute will operate as a day spa, with skin expert Roswitha Rösinger and her team offering treatments for shoppers in Zurich’s busy commercial district.

Located just off the city's famous Bahnhofstraße, the spa houses three treatment rooms and will target shoppers with a menu of facials, beauty and anti-ageing treatments.

“The interior reflects the Babor beauty philosophy,” a spokesperson said.

“The spa will offer special facials, problem-zone oriented body care, massages, manicures and aromatherapy.”
