Spa of the Week: Spa Diane at Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet’s Paris

Located in the Golden Triangle on the Champs-Elysées, Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet’s Paris is a modern, Parisian hotel that just underwent a complete renovation. Each room and dining space reflect traditional Parisian design elements but with a distinct modern aesthetic and style. Its spa, Spa Diane Barrière was also recently renovated and is a chic urban oasis in the middle of Paris.

The 8,600-sq-ft spa has five treatment rooms, a 50-ft swimming pool, steam rooms and sauna, a salon, fitness center and even a cryotherapy room. With the hotel’s renovation saw a dramatic emphasis on the spa’s menu to feature wellness-focused therapies, so in addition to its extensive massage menu, facial offerings, bodywork and beauty treatment, the spa also introduced an Urban Detox program. First meet for a consultation to determine your goals and an expert will put together a meal plan for the duration of your stay as well as a fitness regimen and suggestions for treatments, including detox body wraps, an aquafitness session or meditation session (among others).

The spa carries KOS Paris, an organic, French, plant-based and sustainable brand that doesn’t use chemicals in its products. There are specific treatments using KOS, called KOS Facial Rituals, that you can’t miss while staying at the hotel, including Legends Treatment. The treatment is ideal for those seeking to eliminate stress and rebalance the skin using skin plumping and lifting techniques. Your therapist will treat your face using KOS’ anti-aging, antioxidant-based, nourishing serums to replenish radiance to your skin.

We also love the massages dedicated to a specific need, like the Firming and Slimming Massage, Jet Lag Massage and reflexology massages.

The spa itself in an oasis of tranquility designed in a pearl-grey color scheme paired with dark lacquered wood and modernly designed furniture and art. Post-treatment relax at the bright-blue swimming pool or in one of the ultra-relaxing lounge rooms.
