The prestigious Le Bristol Hotel is home to a spa by the same name which features products from renowned anti-aging pioneer La Prairie. A Russian Room, Turkish bath, saunas, spas, and 8 treatment rooms are spread across 3 floors, giving guests an appreciated sense of privacy during their visit. With its onsite child care center, Spa Le Bristol is ideal for parents who could use a few hours of pampering on their own. Rooms feature private terraces where you can enjoy a glass of champagne or a light meal after your treatment.
The Peninsula Spa
Though everything they offer at The Peninsula Spa sounds tantalizing, their 4-hour combo packages are prime fodder for daydreaming between now and your Parisian vacation. The “Half-Day Spa Journey” starts with a salt and oil body scrub, which is followed by a deep muscle massage, foot massage, and facial. The “Heaven and Earth” offering includes a full-body exfoliating treatment, Balinese massage, eye treatment, foot massage, and more. You won’t want it to end–and with access to a sauna, ice fountain, spa shower, and more, there’s no reason it shouldn’t keep going for at least a few hours after your scheduled session.
