The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Paris
French glamour with Far East traditions
Descending the pristine white staircase into the subterranean Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Paris sets the tone for what’s to come — 9,700 square feet of Oriental-infused bliss. Countless white origami flowers cover the walls, while butterflies are dispersed throughout the white-and-plum-colored mosaic glass floor. Lavender banquettes line the pool, with more flowers and butterflies projected on the surrounding white walls. In the treatment rooms, modern design and clean lines dominate, though silver and purple tones, wooden floors, soft lighting and luxurious fabrics create a sense of softness.
