In search of high-design décor and
luxe amenities, we cross the globe to
bring you a new class of spa resorts
that merge lush treatments with
unparallelled architectural innovation
in extraordinary locations.
BY JOYCE FANCHANEL AU RITZ PARIS
From the Coco Suite still filled with traces of Mademoiselle
to their shared holistic approach to refinement, art of living
and meticulous attention to details, Chanel and the Ritz Paris
certainly have a few things in common. Hence, it only made
sense for the world’s first and only Chanel spa to make its debut
at the fashion icon’s former home of over 30 years.
Merging ultimate Parisian luxury with total relaxation, every
corner of the spa echoes Chanel’s famous quote, “Beauty
begins the moment you decide to be yourself,” as it aims to
enhance each guest’s best self through its premium offerings
of signature massage, rejuvenating skincare therapies,
exceptional facials, and makeup applications using the brand’s
beauty products.
Deep relaxation is further induced by its well-thought-out
interior filled with her trademark black-and white palette,
Coromandel lacquer screens, gilded mirrors, numerous
portraits, sketches, photographs and rock crystal chandeliers
right down to the swathes of velvet—each reflecting the
fashion queen’s opulent preferences. Every visit promises to
be a unique multisensory adventure.
