Dior Spa, Hôtel Plaza Athénée, France

The Dorchester Collection’s Hôtel Plaza Athénée unveiled its transformed Dior Spa in September. Positioned as the ultimate space for Parisian wellbeing, the spa has been redesigned to become a 4,300sqm holistic sanctuary.

Located on the prestigious avenue Montaigne, it offers cutting-edge Dior treatments in five treatment rooms, as well as a sauna, hammam and relaxation area. A first for Paris is the Dior Light Suite, which offers light therapy to synchronise circadian and chronobiological rhythms. Three tailor-made rituals use different light intensities to help realign guests’ biological clocks, alleviate stress and revitalise energy.

“We’ve fused expert techniques and technologies to craft innovative rituals and offer the latest advancements in the realm of wellbeing,” says spa manager Florence Bournoville.

The treatment menu includes four three-hour rituals designed to address specific guest needs, including Dior D-Tox Therapy, Dior D-Stress Therapy, Dior D-Vibe Therapy and Dior D-Fit Therapy. A Technogym equipped gym offers classes including yoga, Pilates and meditation.
