Many high-end hotel brands in the industry are originally spa management companies. This type of hotel brand is a spa as the pillar of the hotel project has been simply as the basic support of the hotel. The success of this kind of hotel brand is no accident, not to mention simply by the capital market with money burned out, its brand value with people’s deep yearning for a better life, and the pursuit of more high-end market advantages, there are too many worthy of other hotel brands to think, learn from and enhance.

Let’s take a closer look at the specific features of spas with their supporting space.

Many do high-end hotel brand operation circle as the saying goes: we not only understand hotels but also understand SPA. So now let’s take a look at the features of SPA.  

SPA popular sound spa, with water essential oils for the body’s health treatment. Although there are no more extensions, never lose the “water”   as the association, to the glue of water melt, five senses of penetration, to be comfortable.

Not only beauty, body, beauty, skin, bodyweight loss, speed up blood circulation, conditioning metabolism, and joint physiotherapy and other methods, but also the pursuit of body relaxation, mental well-being, there is a rise to the ideological, spiritual level of clean-up and health effects and efficacy.

SPA’s physiotherapy products are mainly essential oils, mostly extracted from herbs, or contain minerals beneficial to human skin, such as underwater mud, sea mud. Physiotherapy essential oil combined with water immersion or with the help of hydraulic massage bath, and the hand of the technician combined with the human body’s corresponding tunnel for massage, back.  Spa etymology starts in hot spring water, so the hotel project side with hot spring is better.

The more advanced the resort project, the more the spa space has higher requirements. Often the environment is the most peaceful, the most elegant scenery, the most valuable space as a spa space, combined with the theme of interior design style and decorative interior space, with a petals bubble pool, add people relaxing environment lighting, color, fragrance, music and other creating space. It feels peaceful and serene to enter the space.

Spa’s ribbons are:

Separate spa service front room — > tea lounge area — > dressing, shower area — > dry, wet steaming area — > bath area (warm pool, hot tub, and or ice pool)  –> back, physiotherapy area or treatment room.

There are also high-end boutique hotels that retain only important and private functional spaces:

Service front room – > treatment room. The treatment room also has a seating area — > treatment area (treatment bed, treatment cabinet)– > bubble pool (balcony or terrace with jacuzzi is good, but pay attention to privacy)-> shower, toilet.

Important support spaces for spa features are:

Physiotherapy supplies and appliances room, grass room, technician control room, and lounge, staff bathroom.

The spa area has a spa display area, a spa area seating area (with a water bar area or buffet area, which can be integrated with the pedicure area), and other support spaces, depending on the project positioning optional.

SPA space is generally relatively independent. Separate from the hotel lobby area, restaurant area, meeting area, and other spaces, at least should be relatively separated. More and pedicure, beauty, hairdressing space, indoor and outdoor hot spring area, pool area, fitness, yoga, and other wellness function areas can be associated or interconnected.

SPA has become the darling of high-spending people, but also a part of young women regularly recuperate, relax a kind of enjoyment, a way of life, has become such a fixed schedule for women, to help activate the skin, reduce stress, improve sleep quality, improve physical health and other essential courses.

At present, many men are keen to do SPA, the development trend of this consumption is getting better and better, the future potential has been seen. Whether there are hotel brands focusing on the function of men’s SPA, it is not known, but I believe this market is also worth thinking about, dig deep.
