5 New Treatments to Try at Hotel Spas

Spoiler: the new luxury isn’t about buying a designer bag anymore—it’s about treating yourself to princess‑like experiences from time to time. To satisfy those #TreatYourself days, Paris’s most beautiful hotels now offer unforgettable moments in their elegant spas. Massages, face or body treatments, Kobido, beauty tech: here’s what’s new, and what will make you want to take the day off.

The place: in the heart of the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, a mythic and unique palace on the Left Bank, Spa Akasha spans 700 m² with a stunning 17‑metre pool, a hydrotherapy basin, sauna, hammam and hot tub—everything inspired by the four elements: earth, water, air, fire. Since the fall, the spa has welcomed the eco‑conscious brand myBlend, founded by Dr Olivier Courtin, sharing the same contemporary Parisian vision of luxury and beauty. They offer ultra‑personalised face and body treatments combining neurosciences, epigenetics and advanced technologies like the famous LED mask, myLRDmask and the CellSynergy device to stimulate collagen and oxygenate skin cells. 

The treatment to try: the Essentiel treatment (€260) which promises radiance and firmness in 60 minutes. It begins with a gentle triple cleanse using a balm, a scrub and an exfoliating foam. Once skin is completely clean, a mask combined with radiofrequency that emits a gentle warmth boosts radiance and lifts in a dramatic way. Twenty minutes of massage to work deep into the muscles and sculpt the skin complete this magical treatment. [

The extra touch: non‑invasive advanced technologies from myBlend paired with ultra‑sensory treatments that give an immediate, lasting glow!!

Spa Akasha at Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, 45 Bd Raspail, Paris 6th. Open daily from 7 am to 7 pm. +33 1 49 54 46 12. Online bookings. 

The place: right in the heart of Paris, with its own entrance on the sublime Place Vendôme, the Ritz Club & Spa immediately soothes you upon stepping on its magnificent carpet. The spacious treatment rooms, with sculpted floral ceilings, invite complete relaxation. [link]

The treatment to try: the Signature treatment in collaboration with La Prairie × Ritz Club & Spa (€400), created especially for the arrival of La Prairie at the Ritz. What’s the promise? An hour and a half of pure bliss for rejuvenated, firmed skin. This treatment—developed over several months by the teams at La Prairie and Ritz Paris—begins with a blissful massage of the back and neck to release tension, followed by a facial massage using the iconic Skin Caviar ritual. The gestures drain, tone, sculpt and reshape features for a lifting, detoxifying effect and a truly radiant glow. This holistic protocol for face and body transports you into an incomparable sensory experience. [link]

The extra: extend the benefits by swimming a few laps in Ritz’s splendid mosaic‑tiled pool, then sipping a detox juice at the Bar Floral (pool access included from €550 of treatments). 

Ritz Club & Spa, 17 Place Vendôme, Paris 1st. Open daily 7 am to 10 pm. +33 1 43 16 30 60. Online reservations. 

The place: anchored on the Champs‑Élysées, Spa Decorté Fouquet’s Paris unveils over 750 m² dedicated to wellness. A temple of luxury aiming for absolute relaxation, with five types of treatments, an indoor pool, hammam, sauna and even an Ice Room. The treatment rooms, individual or for two, with moulded ceilings, host treatments on comfortable beds. There’s also a Decorté corner—specialists in Japanese holistic beauty. [link]

The treatment to try: the ultimate anti‑age expression (€320). The ritual begins with a hyper‑personalised questionnaire—music, expectations, skin type… everything adjusted down to the last detail according to your desires, tailoring the experience with Japanese treatments. Two complementary masks are applied: first an ultra‑hydrating mask that plumps intensely, then a global warming anti‑age collagen mask for an instant lift effect. While the masks rest, the therapist releases tensions in your shoulders and arms, finishing with a deep facial massage. Result: 90 minutes of skin that’s smoother, more hydrated than ever—and a lift effect… without a single needle. 

The extra: after hammam and sauna, head to the brand new Ice Room, a space where snow and chill tone the skin. The most daring may even use snow to rub their legs for a real wake‑up call! 

Spa Decorté Fouquet’s Paris, 46 Avenue George V, Paris 8th. Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm. +33 1 40 69 60 70. Online reservations. 

The place: just steps from the Étoile, the Hôtel Balzac Paris charms with its minimalistic, refined elegance, next to Pierre Gagnaire’s starred table. On the basement level, its Spa Ikoï (“a place where you feel good” in Japanese) acts as a true refuge worthy of traditional Japanese addresses. Wooden walls, shiatsu cabin, hushed wellness space confer this beautiful area an aura of another time. 

The treatment to try: without a doubt the Kobido Treatment (60 min ‑ €165), a true ancestral beauty secret. A facial massage that stimulates circulation, firms the skin and reveals a glowing complexion thanks to expert technique and a precise protocol. It starts with a double cleanse using Omnisens’ Oil & Crème Douceur de Soie, then application of lotion with tapping gestures on the face and décolleté. Next: a mechanical scrub in circular motions, with enzymatic properties to slough away dead skin. Then comes the facial modeling with a balm scented of lemon. Finally, during the pause of a thick, very fresh mask (particularly pleasant), take the chance for a hand massage. It ends with eye contour, facial cream and lip balm for skin that’s more plumped than ever! 

The extra: bring your swimsuit—Spa Ikoï offers, with any treatment booking, 1 hour access to sauna and hot tub up to 35 °C. Joy.

Spa Ikoï at Hôtel Balzac Paris, 6 Rue Balzac, Paris 8th. Open daily from 7 am to 10 pm. +33 1 44 35 18 00. Online reservations.

The place: just off the Champs‑Élysées, the Hôtel Lancaster Paris radiates 5‑star luxury… despite not having a traditional spa! Instead, the Lancaster Private Spa occupies a former suite on the 8th and top floor, offering a terrace with views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré‑Cœur. Available for private use, it features a hot tub, a hammam and two massage tables for indulging alone or as a duo, with treatments now using the eco‑responsible brand KOS PARIS. 

The treatment to try: the Corps Cérémonie des Huiles Massage, an enveloping protocol using the fragrant universes of KOS Paris (Jardin des Soleils, Jardin de l’Aube, Jardin des Songes…) chosen according to your mood of the day. After selecting the scent (invigorating citrus, summery with vanilla and white flower…), the therapist applies warm oils with deeply relaxing, stretching movements to release stress and tension. Legs, feet, back, arms, scalp: you express your preferences to personalize the massage. You leave feeling peaceful, as if on a soft cloud… 

The extra: our advice? Privatise the suite for a few hours to enjoy the full experience—and surprise your loved one, your BFF, or your mum! Aside from the treatment, expect about €170 for an hour of private use (150 € for hotel guests), and order a cocktail and a club sandwich served in robe on the terrace. Bliss. 

Lancaster Private Spa, 7 Rue de Berri, Paris 8th. +33 1 40 76 40 76. Open daily, hours vary with booking. Minimum 48 h advance reservation required.
