Paris's Spa Valmont to Reopen at Le Meurice

PARIS, France - Ideally located in the centre of Paris inside Le Meurice, a Dorchester Collection hotel, Spa Valmont reopens in September 2012 after a revitalising four-month interlude.
The most avant-garde skincare specialist returns to this welcoming retreat in which to indulge its loyal fans and, thanks to an extensive range of quality treatments, offer the extreme effectiveness of its advanced cellular care.
Spa Valmont for Le Meurice is a haven of tranquility extending over 340 square metres, decorated in soothing shades that mix bronze, celadon green and beige with accents of gold. The sense of welcome and comfort is immediate, thanks to architectural curves and generously rounded furnishings.
Opening onto a delightful landscaped terrace and bathed in natural light throughout, the spa is equipped with three luxurious treatment suites including one double suite for ultimate intimacy.
A nail bar, state-of-the-art fitness room, sauna, and two hammams covered with sumptuous pearly Bissaza mosaic complement the many opportunities to unwind.
For unconditional relaxation, guests can cocoon in the comfort of the two rest areas or, why not, after a sauna or hammam, enjoy the invigorating virtues of the ice fountain, a nod at Valmont's L'Elixir des Glaciers anti-ageing treatments.
To celebrate this rebirth, Spa Valmont for Le Meurice manager Sylvaine Decl�ves proposes an exclusive and limited-edition treatment, Bulle �motionnelle, a complete, revitalising facial protocol.
After gently releasing tension with a facial drainage, Spa Valmont therapists dip their expert hands into ice and, with incredible lightness of touch, ease the area around the eyes to restore youthful firmness. The treatment continues with facial modelling and Valmont's Renewing Pack for almost instantly radiant skin.
Little by little, the intense cooling sensation of the menthol in the mask is balanced by the natural warmth of the hands as they massage the face. A hot towel wrap further enhances the sensation of absolute wellness; the mind escapes.
The final act in this exceptional, personalized treatment is the careful application of a serum and skincare whose active ingredients are exactly suited to the skin's karyotype. Visibly soothed and invigorated, the face glows. That's the magic of Valmont.
Like the hugely successful Valmont pop-up boutique, which exclusively offers the revolutionnary multi-action cure Time Master Intensive Program, Spa Valmont pour Le Meurice invites its most dedicated enthusiasts to take home its products and continue to benefit from the fabulous experience of Swiss skincare everyday.
Le Meurice and Valmont: two names that cultivate elegance and innovation with passion.
