The Peninsula Spa by Espa: Techniques with both Asian and European Traditions

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Spas

From the windows of the spa at Hong Kong's Peninsula Hotel, guests can enjoy sweeping harbor views, a sauna, a peppermint vapor steam room and other perks – all before their treatments even begin. Small wonder The Peninsula Spa by Espa is a nominee for a Luxist award in the best day spa category.

Founded in 1928, The Peninsula was Hong Kong's first modern-day luxury hotel. The British briefly lost the enclave to Japanese forces in 1941, with the commanding officer issuing an official surrender in a room on The Peninsula's third floor, before regaining Hong Kong at the war's end. The middle of the century saw The Peninsula become one of the world's premier luxury destinations; in 1994, the hotel added a 30-story tower behind the original structure to meet growing demand. Shortly thereafter, The Peninsula Spa by Espa was installed high in the new tower.

Developed by industry giant ESPA, the spa offers body treatments and skincare with techniques borrowed from European and Asian tradition. The establishment's 14 rooms are adorned with reclaimed wood, green bamboo and indoor waterfalls; most offer views of the shimmering skyline on the other side of Victoria Harbor.

Treatments include "De-Stress," a massage with frankincense oils and a skin-specific facial (120 minutes: $250), as well as "Time Together," a couples' aromatherapy massage complete with full-body exfoliations and a steam bath (120 minutes: $650). If that's not enough relaxation, have afternoon tea in the lobby or dinner at iconic onsite restaurant Felix, which was designed by Philippe Starck.

Cast your vote for your favorite spa until March 31st. Winners will be announced on April 1.

One of the top trends for hotels is the whole fitness/wellness angle, the other is the selling of hotel-branded items. The Peninsula Hotels have announced 'Peninsula Wellness' a sweeping lifestyle program that combines both of these trends. The Wellness plan will center on the Peninsula spas which will combine Eastern and Western wellness and relaxation philosophies. The hotels will also offer “Naturally Peninsula” light and healthy cuisine options at all Peninsula dining establishments. The hotels will use organic produce from local farms for the new range of lighter fare and will provide options for people on alternative diets. Peninsula will also publish a “Naturally Peninsula” cookbook and offer a range of organic teas, coffees and chocolates which will be available for purchase in the hotel boutiques. They will also offer “Simply Peninsula” toiletries and other products (including natural beeswax candles) which use essential oils and fragrances such as geranium, ginger lily and nutmeg. There are also CDs of relaxing Chinese and Thai music that will be played at the spas and, of course, are also available for purchase.
