Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca Unveils Le Spa, an Oasis of Pampering and Results-Oriented Therapies in the Heart of the City

   
March 1, 2016,
Casablanca, Morocco

Introducing the city’s most luxurious spa experience at the all-new Le Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca, now open to Hotel guests, local clients and through exclusive membership.  Extensive facilities include 10 beautiful treatment rooms, and separate men’s and women’s locker rooms with relaxation lounges, sensorial experience showers, whirlpools and steam room, creating a sanctuary of well-being unlike any other.

Special features include two oversize spa suites including a couples suite and hammam, ideal for couples or friends to enjoy treatments together in total privac,y and two Swiss-style balneo hydrotherapy pools.  A state-of-the-art gym and resort-like outdoor pool complete the experience.

Interiors are by G.A Design, which also designed the public spaces and guest rooms of Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca, where traditional motifs and fine craftsmanship accentuate clean, modern contemporary spaces and colour palettes reflecting the sea and sand outside.  At Le Spa, the palette of light and dark seen throughout the Hotel takes a more subtle turn with soothing natural materials including cedar wood and warm locally-quarried stones.  Shimmering gold accents inspired by argan oil add a rich lustre and authentic sense of place at Le Spa.

“Every Four Seasons spa is unique, reflecting the culture and traditions of each location, and taking advantage of local ingredients, as well as bringing in the best international spa brands for its guests,” notes Le Spa Manager Gaëlle Peiffer. The thoughtful service for which Four Seasons is known the world over is evidenced in the highly skilled and trained therapists who work with each guest to customise treatments for fullest effect and enjoyment in a truly luxurious environment.

Traditional Treatments Meet Modern Therapies at Le Spa

Four Seasons has carefully chosen two international brands that have worked with the company to create bespoke treatments exclusive to Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca.

“I’m particularly pleased to introduce the acclaimed French brand Biologique Recherche,” notes Gaëlle, who was born in northwestern France, and whose career has included stops in Paris, Antibes, Courchevel and Bora Bora. “Our results-oriented treatments begin with Biologique Recherche’s Skin Instant system to analyse each guest’s skin and customise their treatment for maximum results.”

Suitable for men and women, the skin treatments menu includes the Restructuring and Soothing Treatment to recondition sensitive skin; the targeted Sebo-Regulating Treatment for troubled skin; and the VIP Oxygenating Treatment that leaves one relaxed and glowing.

“Our second major brand is ila, a 'beyond organic' brand from Britain.  Guests who are already familiar with ila are in for a special treat, as we have worked closely with the company to develop a collection of therapies inspired by the three cornerstones of alchemy, using all natural ingredients,” says Gaëlle.

Facials, body treatments and massages are grouped into three themes: Breath of Life featuring ila's Golden Elixir; water-based Emerald Tablet with marine and herbal elements; and Flower of Youth utilising the natural properties of fragrant essential oils such as jasmine, damascene rose and orange blossom.

For local guests in the know and international travellers hoping to experience the wonders of Morocco’s famous argan oil at the source, Le Spa at Four Seasons will not disappoint.  “We’ve combined ancient Moroccan traditions with the latest science to develop treatments that are both authentic and of-the-moment,” promises Gaëlle.

Choices include body and special Moroccan treatments such as the Signature Anti-Jet Lag Hammam.  “Even on short flights within one’s own time zone, air travel can really take its toll on the body, so we’ve developed this treatment to sooth both body and soul, leaving you ready to maximise productivity on the job, or get the most out of a well-deserved holiday.”

Gaëlle also believes that body awareness and care can begin in childhood, and that even younger guests deserve a little pampering.  The thoughtfully designed Kids Spa menu introduces children ages 6 to 11 accompanied by a parent or guardian to massage, facials and mani-pedis, and the more grown-up Teen Spa menu caters to the special needs and wants of guests ages 12 to 17 who may enjoy Le Spa with written permission from their parent or guardian.

For adults, Le Spa also offers hand and foot care and grooming by appointment. Fully customised packages for individuals and groups including bridal parties are available.

Le Spa’s shop will allow guests to purchase Biologique Recherche, ila and other products to continue therapies at home, as well as a carefully curated selection of designer clothing and accessories.

Complete Body Care: Fitness at Four Seasons

“For many travellers, sticking to a fitness routine is an important way to maintain energy and focus during business trips, and offset the indulgences of holiday vacations,” notes Gaëlle.  “Our fully equipped gym is open 24 hours a day to accommodate our guests’ schedules, and we’re pleased to offer complimentary classes as well as personal training for a fee.”

The 172 square metre (1,851 square metre) gym offers state-of-the-art Life Fitness equipment including treadmills, elliptical cross trainers and other cardio machines; strength training options that focus on key zones of the body; free weights; and a ballet barre. Complimentary fruit and aromatic water are offered to keep guests hydrated during their workouts.

A Refreshing Seaside Break: the Pool at Four Seasons

The year-round heated outdoor pool is set amid beautifully landscaped gardens, offering a resort-like refuge in the bustling city. Ideal for staying fit with regular laps across its 21-metre (69-foot) length, or relaxing with a book and a cool drink.  Complimentary cabanas are available on a first come-first serve basis. The pool is 149 square metres (1,604 square feet) in total, with a maximum depth of 1.2 metres (4 feet).  It’s open daily from sunrise to sunset for Hotel guests, and Le Spa guests and members.

Coming soon: Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca will soon debut the poolside Latitude 33, a casual outdoor restaurant and bar offering daily lunch and dinner during the warmer months. Named after the city’s geographic location, the menu is inspired by other countries on the 33rd parallel.

Invitation to Bliss: Membership at Le Spa

Le Spa is offering a limited number of memberships to those who wish to enjoy exclusive benefits including full access to the gym, Le Spa facilities and pool; and preferential pricing on Le Spa treatments, private fitness coaching and even dining in the Hotel’s restaurants. Additional perks include valet parking and complimentary laundering of the day’s fitness attire.
