The spa is inarguably one of the best parts of any luxury hotel experience. It’s the place you go to truly relax and unwind with sumptuous saunas, massages, and endless treatments to soothe and rejuvenate. We asked the Luxury Gold Travel Experiences team for their best hotel spas. From St. Moritz to Sydney, mountain views to mineral wraps, here are their recommendations.
1. Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Banff Springs – Banff, Canada
Encompassed by the stunning mountains, forests and lakes of the Canadian Rockies, the Willow Stream Spa may just be the most picturesque luxury spa in the world. It’s the cherry on the cake that is Fairmont Banff Springs, the most extraordinary hotel that’s been providing iconic stays in Banff for over 125 years.
Head to this serene alpine sanctuary and discover a range of treatments designed to pamper and re-energise. Willow Stream Spa is an adult-only area and you can indulge in everything from massages to facials, all with the highest quality ingredients and techniques.
