Rosewood Introduces Sense, A Rosewood Spa® to Vancouver
Oct. 04, 2011
VANCOUVER, BC – Rosewood Hotel Georgia, Vancouver’s most historic hotel, is delighted to announce the opening of Sense, A Rosewood Spa®, joining Rosewood’s prestigious collection of world-class spa retreats. Serving hotel guests as well as the general public, Sense spa offers a full range of therapies, treatments, massage and facials.
Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy guides the Sense spa experience. Designed to celebrate local traditions of healing, each Sense spa offers treatments and services that showcase the indigenous natural elements of its environment. Sense, A Rosewood Spa at Rosewood Hotel Georgia evokes a unique ambiance that is welcoming, chic and rich in detail.
The spa’s signature treatment, Vancouver Signature Sensation, is a custom blend scrub that imparts the feel of a cool glacial breeze and the aroma of fresh mountain air. Sense’s peppermint- and herb-infused sea salt exfoliation melts away dry skin, while a cleansing Vichy rinse releases tension, stimulates blood circulation and relaxes tight, sore muscles. Last, a hydrating massage with Sense’s signature shea butter—blended with essential and hydrating oils—moisturizes the skin.
Sense at Rosewood Hotel Georgia is pleased to pamper guests with a superb collection of skincare lines, including Vancouver-based Ancient Secrets. Made with BC ingredients such as glacial clay and Pacific seaweed extracts, the line draws on the healing and curative properties of the natural environment. The spa also features anti-aging line Priori and Moroccan-based Kahina, made with antioxidant-rich argan oil.
For pedicures and manicures, Sense spa at Rosewood Hotel Georgia is pleased to offer Spa Ritual, a line of vegan, chemical-free polishes and nail polish remover. The pedicure treatment invites guests to sink into the Zero-Gravity Massage Chair by Human Touch. Designed by NASA scientists, the sleek, elegant chair provides complete relaxation during pedicures and allows technicians to achieve remarkable results while a BC Glacier Honey Massage, leaves skin beautifully smooth and soft.
Located on the fourth floor of the hotel, the spa is adjacent to a well-appointed fitness center offering state-of-the-art facilities and personal trainers as well as a 52' indoor saltwater lap pool that is also available to guests booking treatments.
