Le Grand Bellevue unveils new spa housing ‘labyrinth of wellness’ |
|
By Tom Walker 14 Aug 2017 |
Described as a 'labyrinth of wellness', Le Grand Spa now houses 17 different wellness zones
|
The independently-owned Le Grand Bellevue luxury hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland, has reopened its spa following a comprehensive redevelopment.
Described as a “labyrinth of wellness”, the upgraded Le Grand Spa now houses a total of 17 different wellness and spa experience zones.
Facilities include 11 treatment rooms, a Himalayan salt grotto, herbal sauna, laconium, hay sauna, an ice fountain, infrared sauna, and a Finnish sauna.
There is also a speciali Alpine Spa Suite for couples, housing a private spa pool, rasul chamber, scrub table and relaxation area.
Among the new additions to the spa are two new relaxation areas – including a silent room with waterbeds – offering peace and quiet between treatments.
Spread across 3,000sqm (32,300sq ft) – making it among the largest spas in Switzerland – Le Grand Spa now also features a number of outdoor spaces and experiences, including a Kneipp Walk, a yoga zone and outdoor relaxation pool.
The treatment menu features a wide range of massages, body treatments and age therapies, using treatments supplied by organic British brand, Bamford,
As well as the Bamford treatments, Le Grand Spa offers facial and body treatments from Cellcosmet, a Swiss cosmetic brand.
According to a spokesperson, the interior of the spa has been inspired by the “rolling hills and verdant valleys of the surrounding Bernese Oberland”.
“The design of the spa will provide a soothing alpine aesthetic,” she said.
“The wooden detailing in the spa mirrors the traditional Saanen style chalets, which are scattered throughout the surrounding valleys.”
On the floor above the spa, there is a indoor swimming pool and additional wet areas, as well as a fitness club fitted with cardio and resistance machines, free weights and specialist equipment – such as a Senso Pro Trainer and a pilates reformer supplied by Allegro.
The fitness club offers hotel guests a complimentary list of exercise classes, ranging from pilates and yoga to circuit training, contemporary dance and boot camp.
In-house personal trainers are also on hand to create bespoke training plans, while a physiotherapist and osteopath are also on hand to discuss strains and injuries.
Le Grand Bellevue hotel was re-launched in January 2014 after a year-long renovation by the owners, entrepreneurs Daniel and Davia Koetser.
In the heart of Gstaad village, the hotel was originally built in 1912 as a Cure House and Spa and is the oldest “palace hotel” in Gstaad. Family-owned, managed and designed, the hotel comprises 57 bedrooms.
