Salt therapy supplier Salt Chamber has helped realise a new luxury salt room at the Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort in Phoenix, AZ.

The room is used for dry salt therapy (also known as halotherapy) which is claimed to help improve the respiratory system, ease skin conditions, boost the immune system and enhance mental wellness.

The halotherapy room is the finishing touch at Tierra Luna Spa’s Sol Garden – an outdoor space surrounded by desert landscaping, impressive mountain views and ocotillo coves, and completed with a cold plunge pool, a hot tub, an outdoor rain shower and a well bar.

Spa manager Liz Runyon said: “From the décor and ambience to the music, our customers are loving every detail of their salt therapy experiences. Salt Chamber has been such a great partner through this process, especially while training our team.”

Runyon added that the halotherapy room has become a sanctuary for not only clients but also for staff for renewal and recovery.

“This has been such a great addition to our facility for customers and staff alike,” she said, “When any staff member has a little cough or congestion, they take time in the salt room and see results the same day."

Salt Chamber CEO Leo Tonkin commented: “We’re getting more requests from resorts for bespoke salt rooms and concepts that move the salt room from the spa to a standalone wellness concept.

“Arizona Biltmore is home to the first standalone salt room in a resort to be designed, built and installed from the ground up. It’s surrounded by a natural oasis that sets it apart as an immersion wellness experience that entices all the senses.

“Collaboration on bespoke projects that bring our client’s vision to life is our speciality.”
