Parisian chic: the anne semonin spa

Located on the rue du Faubourg St Honore, one of the most fashionable and exclusive streets in central Paris, the flagship spa for the Anne Semonin brand incorporates all that is beautiful, natural and elegant about the range.

Chairman and owner of Anne Semonin Aline Marcadet designed the spa's interior, which has been tailored to its location and continues the luxury feel of the hotel. The overall look is opulent and elegant to represent 'Parisian chic'.

Opened in July 2007, the spa spans three floors and features a hammam, as well as three beautiful treatment rooms - two on the ground-floor with shower facilities, and a massage room below.

Each room is light and inviting, with relaxing neutral tones of cream and beige (to emphasise the look of the Anne Semonin brand) as well as natural wood and stone finishes. Every detail has been thought through - from the sumptuous cashmere blankets on each treatment bed, to the mother-of-pearl accessory boxes used in each room, and the delicious Parisian macaroons that are served at the end of each treatment.

Clients benefit from the skills of spa manager Celine Helmstetter and her team of three full-time therapists and part-time specialists for treatments such as shiatsu massage and luxury pedicure treatments.

fragrant aromas

There is an indoor pool on the top floor of the hotel, with a large terrace where clients can relax following treatments. On the ground-floor the reception and waiting area are designed to soothe and enchant. Here, water cascades down a pebble waterfall and clients are gently lulled by fragrant aromas as they await their therapist. They can also view the beautiful display of Anne Semonin products.
