Luxury hotel group Mandarin Oriental has opened the first Spa Studio at its Bangkok location as part of a comprehensive renovation of its historic Authors’ and Garden Wings.

Designed for shorter treatments, the Spa Studio includes four private rooms and offers specialist facial and podiatrist offerings, as well as waxing and express foot, shoulder and head massages. The concept will be rolled out at other Mandarin Oriental locations, said Jeremy McCarthy, group director of spa.

The Bangkok Spa Studio will include a Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by french podiatrist BAstien Gonzalez, which will offer manicures and pedicures as well as the signature Bastien’s Duo – a synchronised four-hands treatment that focuses on the feet, legs, hands and arms.

It will also feature collagen-enhancing facial care from !QMS Medicosmetics, an exclusive in Asia.

“We are pleased to open the group’s first Spa Studio at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok,” said McCarthy. “The hotel has always been at the forefront of the latest spa and wellness trends, and the Spa Studio concept offers guests the option to experience the most effective beauty treatments even when on a tight schedule.”

The next Spa Studio opening is scheduled for the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London, following the hotel’s renovation in 2018.
