Le SPA at Rocco Forte's Le Richemond
Rocco Forte's Le Richemond opens on 21 September, unveiling Geneva's largest city centre hotel spa and the first dedicated Shiseido spa in Switzerland.
An exceptional venue with a stylish design, courtesy of John Stefanidis and overseen by Rocco Forte's Director of Design Olga Polizzi, Le Spa offers a stunning setting in which to enjoy a truly indulgent experience. Covering the entire lower ground floor of the hotel, design highlights include stained bamboo walls and chic black mosaic floors.
The 400 m² Le Spa comprises five treatment rooms, including one double room, a state-of-the-art gym, a sauna, a Turkish steam room, a Vichy shower and a relaxation area. Aromatherapy, Chromatherapy and à la carte massages are among the treatments on offer from a team of experienced therapists, who will also be able to suggest various ways to de-stress, relax and get fit.
In addition to Shiseido, Le Spa will offer another prestigious beauty brand, Paris-based Sothys, whose approach is grounded in a western, more scientific philosophy.
SHISEIDO Shi (Resources) Sei (Life) Do (Home)
Shiseido was the first beauty brand to use a combination of Oriental and western technologies. Over 130 years of experience have enabled Shiseido to acquire unique know-how in product creation using leading technologies, whilst respecting the ancestral prescriptions of Chinese medicine.
Le Spa at Rocco Forte's Le Richemond is the first spa in Switzerland to form an association with the Shiseido brand and one of the few in the world to be able to boast a partnership of this kind.
