Landmark Dublin hotel prepares for spa launch

The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, one of Marriott's Renaissance Hotels, is gearing up to open its spa at the end of this month.

Set over three floors, The Spa at The Shelbourne will have six treatment rooms, a manicure area and an opulent relaxation room lit by chandeliers, as well as a pool, sauna, steamroom, dance studio. Elemis and Pevonia have been chosen as the skincare ranges.

The spa will be actively marketed to both hotel guests and the day spa market and the gym will offer limited memberships.

"The Spa at The Shelbourne is another string to the bow of Dublin’s favourite hotel," says Stephen Hanley, general manager. "We are delighted to partner with these two superb product ranges which, with their focus on excellent quality and a luxurious sensory experience, make a perfect fit."

The spa will be run in house and there are no plans to make this a blueprint for the rest of the Renaissance Hotels.
