Claridge's, the iconic Art Deco landmark in Mayfair, has unveiled a selection of beauty treatment designed to recapture the timeless glamour of a bygone era.

Following in the footsteps of Hollywood's leading ladies and gentlemen, to many of whom Claridge's was a second home, the beauty therapists at the Spa at Claridge's have carefully created individual regimes, each with a particular icon in mind, with treatments such as "The Clark Gable" and "The Grace Kelly."

The treatment menu provides a form of nostalgic escapism, offering an immersive opportunity to experience pampering styles and grooming techniques inspired by the golden age of Hollywood. Should guests crave 'alone-time', Claridge's beauty therapists will recommend "The Greta Garbo", inspired by the 1930's Swedish screen siren who was famously known for the line "I want to be alone." This restorative ritual includes a one hour Swedish massage, a one hour cellular La Prairie facial and a light lunch for one. The cost is £222 ($340).

The Rave Massage Chair

Filed under: Decor

It's not going to win major points from me for design but the Rave massage and music chair has other things to recommend it. It has four pre-programmed massage sessions, each running 15 minutes with automatic shutoff. The Shiatsu acupressure and Swedish massage techniques can be adjusted by intensity, width, speed and direction offering deep kneading, tapping, rolling, spot and partial massages. It also has built-in storage for an iPod or MP3 player with the bass notes synchronized to the vibrations. There are two dynamic, full-range speakers mounted in the back and a music jack in the arm storage compartment. The consumer can plug-in so the music will play right through the chair. When the massage is operating and music is playing, the massage will be synchronized to the beat of the music. It comes in black, brown, gray, green or red and sells for $899.
