Fairmont opens Istanbul spa hotel |
|
By Tom Walker 04 May 2017 |
Managed by Fairmont’s in-house team, the spa houses seven treatment rooms and a large wet area
|
Canadian hospitality group Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is continuing its global expansion strategy with the opening of a hotel in Istanbul, Turkey.
The 209-room Fairmont Quasar is located in Mecidiyeköy, one of Istanbul’s business quarters on the western side of city.
The hotel’s USP is the Turkish-themed, 2,000 sq m (21,527sq ft) Willow Stream Spa, which pays homage to local traditions by offering a Turkish bath and authentic hammam treatments, stress relief and skin care treatments.
Managed by Fairmont’s in-house team, the spa houses seven treatment rooms and two couples’ VIP suites, a yoga room and an indoor pool with a retractable glass separator which opens up in spring and summer. There is also a separate outdoor pool.
Wet areas include an authentic, Turkish hammam and a wide range of saunas, steamrooms, ice fountains and relaxation areas.
The treatment menu has been built around a selection of traditional and authentic Turkish body treatments, which use locally inspired hammam products supplied by Saru Organik.
The menu is supported by a collection of western massage and facial treatments using the Kerstin Florian product line.
As part of the wellness offer, the spa also boasts a large health club, offering personal training, group and private classes and a fitness suite supplied by Technogym.
Fairmont work together with Turkish spa consultancy Promet, which delivered the Willow Stream Spa as a turnkey project.
Aysegul Sungur, Promet’s general manager, said: “The design is based on clean and minimal forms, inspired by natural organic shapes and materials. The soothing concept has been enriched with Turkish patterns and luxury touches.”
Promet has previously worked with Fairmont on the spa at the Baku Flame Towers Fairmont Hotel in Azerbaijan.
Fairmont is in the middle of an expansion push and is set to open the 134-room Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech resort in Morocco this month.
Fairmont was acquired by French hotel giant Accor in June 2016 in a deal worth US$2.7bn.
