Grand Dame soon to unveil luxurious L’Occitane Spa
View(s):More than 153 years after first opening its doors, one of the oldest hotels east of the Suez, The Galle Face Hotel, is cutting the ribbon on a new L’Occitane spa paying tribute to the property’s glamorous association with Hollywood over the decades.
Adorned in a romantic palette of soft textures, alpine and iced teal hues, the L’Occitane spa’s clean and crisp interior is accented by natural, dark ash-stained wooden floorboards, doors and window frames, recessed Oriental-style rugs, silk screens and exquisite upholstered furniture.
The Galle Face Hotel’s general manager Deni A. Dukic said the spa would stay true to L’Occitane’s traditions, including its essential oils, natural ingredients and traditional massage techniques, yet be distinct in character, inspired by the grandeur of the hotel’s historical association with some of Hollywood’s most recognizable icons.
“This is a spa that strives to transport you to an early Hollywood era, a gentler, more luxurious time when glamour reigned and time moved slower,” said Dukic.
Spanning 1,115 square metres, The Galle Face’s ‘Spa L’Occitane En Provence’ will feature eight therapy rooms, including couples and Ayurveda rooms, as well as a nail spa, lavish indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, gym, steam rooms, dry saunas and Jacuzzis.
The spa’s lush outdoor area, will serve up a spa menu ranging from healthy snacks to specially created cocktails.
Due to open in mid this year, L’Occitane Spa will offer an ample choice of massages, facials and other treatments based on natural ingredients such as lavender from Provence in the south of France and shea butter from Burkina Faso in west Africa. First opened in 2001 in Brazil and Vietnam, L’Occitane spas are committed to socially responsible best practices, limiting water and energy use where possible as well as carefully selecting natural materials.
