Los Angeles, CA – SBE’s SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills, A Luxury Collection Hotel, opening Fall 2008, will also debut its own unique spa concept, Ciel at SLS. The 5,000-square-foot, full-service spa will provide the perfect complement to the SLS hotel experience, which will offer a new paradigm in luxury hospitality. SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills will be part of The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts, a glittering ensemble of more than 69 of the world’s finest hotels and resorts in more than 26 countries in spectacular destinations around the world.
A sophisticated and serene environment created by world renowned designer Philippe Starck, Ciel at SLS spa will be a sanctuary for hotel guests and Angelenos alike.
“The concept of Ciel at SLS spa was a natural and organic evolution of the SLS Hotels brand,” said Arash Azarbarzin, President, Hotels at SBE. “We wanted to create a destination that would transcend the traditional boundaries of what a spa should be. To us, a spa can be a social gathering place for friends, an exclusive private club and a lounge experience full of surprises. A spa can and should be all of these things, while still maintaining that sense of luxury, serenity and pampering. That is why we created Ciel.”
Designed with an unerring eye for luxury, comfort and state-of-the-art technology, Ciel at SLS emphasizes highly intuitive and personalized service in a soothing yet playful setting. All aspects of the Ciel experience will be fluid by design and philosophy to match each guest’s wishes and personal preferences.
Evocative of a celestial dreamscape, guests will feel relaxed and at ease among the warm white tones and billowing curtains, while delightful discoveries surprise throughout the space. Refreshing and healthy savories will be offered in the lounge, created by acclaimed chef José Andrés exclusively for Ciel at SLS. Ranging from organic snacks and delicate fruits to decadent champagne and handmade truffles, spa fare at Ciel at SLS will be far from commonplace.
The Ciel at SLS spa rooms will be unique environments equipped with music, lighting and technology options that allow spa therapists to set the mood for each treatment and guest preference. The spa rooms will be intimate havens equipped with luxuries like an experience shower, custom massage beds with sound systems and armchairs for foot bath rituals. The co-ed lounge will serve as an ideal place to relax and socialize both pre- and post-spa experience.
