Oetker Collection's flagship property, Brenners Park to open Villa Stephanie health spa

The Brenners Park Hotel & Spa in Baden Baden, Germany – the flagship property of the Oetker Collection – is on track to open its Villa Stéphanie destination health spa this summer, with 5,000sq m (53,820sq ft) of treatment facilities.

In an exclusive interview at SPATEC Europe 2014, Oetker Collection's director of spa development, Hans-Peter Veit, told Spa Opportunities about the five-year project to create “the finest spa in Europe.”

According to Veit it takes people three to five days to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life, therefore the resort invested in technology to be able to block electricity and 95 per cent of WiFi signals in each of its rooms individually.

“We had to isolate the walls and cables with copper. The benefit of this enhancement to our rooms is that we can guarantee guests that there will be no interruptions to their detoxification process. Other hotels offer this, however we can offer a choice to guests staying in neighbouring rooms thanks to this innovative solution,” Veit said.

The spa will feature 15 treatment rooms overlooking the Park’s gardens, a 500sq m (5,382sq ft) sauna, kneipping baths, a plunge pool for recovery, a hammam, a ladies spa and sauna, a fitness centre plus physio and spinal treatment facilities. The spa –whose equipment is supplied by Gharieni – uses products by its main partner Sisley, in addition to Anika Organic Luxury and SkinCeuticals.

Directly connected to Villa Stéphanie, the 1,700sq m Haus Julius is the home of Brenners Park’s medical care. There are 20 medical specialists – ranging from physical therapists, cardiologists, gynaecologists, nutritionists to dermatologists. These staff members have been retained from the former Brenners spa clinic.

“We no longer have a clinic because we want to focus more on prevention and enjoying life,” Veit said. “We’ve kept the most important medical services for Haus Julius because previously our medical capabilities were too widespread.”

After three years of research, the project broke ground in 2012 and Veit was at SPATEC Europe to find spa equipment for the Bergit Countess Douglas-designed facility.

The new spa will be managed in-house according to Brenners Park’s 30-year old four pillars of wellbeing – beauty, detox and nutrition, medical care and emotional therapy.

“No one flies to Baden Baden to get a facial but we want to give people a reason,” Veit continued – adding that 66 per cent of Brenners Park’s guests are international consumers. “These pillars are all options for guests to mix and match from in pursuit of their wellbeing goal.”

The resort will match each client with a designated host who will act as a guide for activities – for example someone who wants to lose weight will be appointed a sports trainer who is also a dietician. “It’s a one-stop shopping concept and the host will be more like a friend than a butler,” Veit added.
