Imagine stepping into a haven of tranquility in the heart of bustling Paris. The Hôtel Plaza Athénée, a timeless symbol of Parisian glamour, has been a home to luxury and elegance for over a century. It has played host to some of the most iconic figures in history, including the legendary actress Rita Hayworth and the stylish Jacqueline Kennedy. The hotel’s distinct exterior and storied walls are a staple of the famous Avenue Montaigne, a street renowned for its high-end boutiques.
And for almost eight decades, the Plaza Athénée has shared a special connection with Dior. In fact, the legendary fashion house even drew inspiration for its revolutionary bar suit from the Relais Plaza bar within the hotel, ensuring that women could dress comfortably for a visit.
A Sanctuary of Wellness: Dior’s First Spa
In 2008, Dior chose the Plaza Athénée as the perfect location for its first spa, a haven for relaxation in the city of lights. While the space has been cherished throughout the years, it has been reimagined in 2023 with a new look befitting its iconic status.
The Dior Spa exudes timeless elegance, a sanctuary of peace in the heart of Paris. The space is infused with natural stone and impeccably refined interiors that create a warm and serene ambiance in every corner. The spa welcomes guests with a spacious reception area and a boutique showcasing the exclusive Dior Spa product range, including the exquisite La Collection Privée Christian Dior fragrances.
Guests are invited to indulge in a world of relaxation and rejuvenation. The spa features a sauna, a steam room, and five treatment rooms, each meticulously designed with natural warm tones. A special double room offers a tranquil space for couples to enjoy a shared spa experience.
More Than Just a Spa: A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Dior Spa goes beyond simply pampering the body; it embraces a holistic approach to well-being. The spa offers a range of unparalleled treatments to rejuvenate both inside and out. Advanced technologies and tailored treatments restore harmony between the body and mind, leaving guests feeling refreshed and revitalized.
One of the spa’s most unique offerings is the Dior Light Suite. This innovative treatment room is the first of its kind in a luxury Paris hotel. Inspired by the power of light therapy, the suite features a unique ceiling that replicates the sun’s natural light, diffusing it at three levels of intensity: energizing, relaxing, or restorative.
This “Cronos light,” designed in collaboration with Lucibel, helps guests re-sync their circadian and chronobiological rhythms. The light can be harnessed to influence well-being, providing the ideal dose of daily light to balance energy and sleep, as well as combat signs of fatigue and enhance the skin. Each 90-minute treatment mimics the ultradian cycle that naturally regulates our days, ensuring a truly restorative experience.
A Menu of Rejuvenation: Advanced Skin Treatments and Relaxation
The Dior Spa menu features cutting-edge technologies designed to rejuvenate the skin, combating the everyday stress of urban life. The spa offers a range of innovative treatments, including the Dior Sapphire Crystal Micro-abrasion, a technique that combines micro-dermabrasion with light stimulation for a radiant complexion.
The Dior Grand Soin powered by Hydrafacial provides deep cleansing for a luminous and purified look. Like its efficacious skincare range, Dior goes beyond mere beauty buzzwords, utilizing highly concentrated active ingredients and advanced therapy techniques to deliver tangible results.
Le Grand Salon, a relaxing lounge, is a focal point of the spa. Guests can extend the benefits of their treatments in this soothing cocoon, enjoying fruit and vegetable juices specially developed by Wild & The Moon, a selection of herbal teas, food supplements, and Dior accessories. Le Grand Salon is a haven of tranquility, where the spa experience continues even after the treatments.
A Sanctuary of Luxury and Well-being
The new Dior Spa Plaza Athénée is a sanctuary of luxury and well-being, a place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
