‘This is quite easily, the best Four Seasons spa ever; its excelence beginning with the owners visionary use of Raison d’etre… to create not only a unique concept, but also a spa that flows in perfect holistic harmony. Todays new luxury is purity, and the three-storey Spa & Wellness Centre encapsulates the ethos’
Gallivanter’s Guide, December 2005.
The
Opportunity
In the early days of Doha’s exciting growth, Four Seasons wanted to stand out by bringing luxury and international standards to all their facilities and services. We were contracted to focus on the spa and create a world class spa & wellness center, unique not only to Qatar but also the Middle East.
Our
Approach
We looked at world standards and best practices globally and combined these with our expertise. We wanted an authentic spa experience at an an international standard that blended seamlessly with Four Seasons’ renowned service. We stepped outside the box too, introducing a range of wet and dry experiences never before seen in the Middle East.
The
Result
When we opened the doors for the first time, we already had a membership waiting list. Awards came soon as did the customers. To this day, the spa is recognized as one of the best in Qatar.
