In a country where East meets West, the Grande Spa has deliberately
sought to encompass Eastern mystery with Western tradition into
therapies that are both traditional and holistic. Renowned for the
expertise and genuine care of all therapists, the Spa has a range
of treatments and products that leave guests reeling with choice.
With more than 50 different treatments, the menu at the Grande Spa
is sure to engage even the most well-informed and sophisticated
clientele.
The Grande Spa philosophy encompasses water to heal and synergistically
enhance the many other therapies offered. Used prior to any treatment,
the use of the mineral water results in detoxification, skin softening
and improved circulation as well as muscle and mental stress relief.
Especially designed for the Grande Spa, “Sodashi” products,
which are used for a variety of facial treatments, are 100% natural
plant-based formulas that help to attain and maintain a balanced,
healthy skin. “Guinot” facials use plant extracts selected
for their treatment actions and products are chosen specifically
for the complexion needs of each client.
Body massage is delivered in five disciplines including a specialized
back recovery massage which employs a mud mask formed of carefully
selected ingredients used to treat back problems. Body wraps use
masks, oils and gels to treat numerous ailments of the muscles,
joints and internal systems, not to mention the inevitable release
of mental tension and stress.
Full day packages are available and include lunch at the Sala restaurant.
The Ultimate Spa package combines steam treatments and jacuzzi hydrotherapy
with Swedish or Thai massage, a foot spa, a detoxifying body mask,
Jojoba body polish and a Sodashi facial for a full six hours of
bliss. Half-day packages range from 2? to 3? hours and the composition
of treatments will impress.
Packages for couples are performed in a specially designed Dalah
room. Luxuriantly furbished, this room contains an intimate, private
spa bath, sauna and shower facility. La Grande Romance package will
augment a romantic interlude and A Journey for Two may be enjoyed
by friends seeking a relaxing break from touring Bangkok.
An ambience of sheer indulgence and relaxation has been created
using teakwood, silk panelling, rush matting and Thai artifacts
for interior decoration. Orchids and Thai garlands set the final
touches on a venue that boasts an etherial surrounding, an established
clientele and a loyal and caring staff.
The therapists at the Grande Spa are highly trained professionals
whose focus is always on the individual requirements of each client.
No stock-standard treatments are given, rather each client is expertly
guided into selecting the most beneficial and enjoyable session
possible. Spa Manager Ms. Carol Fajth holds the firm belief that
to truly stay in touch with both the clients and therapists, it
is necessary to practice treatments herself. This method of leading
by example has helped in maintaining a relaxed atmosphere of professional
care. Combine this with the sensuous bouquet in the air, the elegant
furnishings and the vast range of options to heal body, mind and
spirit and the Grande Spa becomes an irresistible venue. Located
conveniently right in the heart of the central business district
on Sukhumvit Rd, the Grande Spa & Fitness Club is located within
the Sheraton
Grande Sukhumvit Hotel and is open every day from 8:00am to
10:00pm. Reservations are highly recommended. Tel: (02)653 0282.
