Hotel Le Bristol in Paris, France, has celebrated the completion of a EUR100m (US$139m, £87m) renovation programme with the opening of a new spa in conjunction with La Prairie.

Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie, along with two new signature suites and a new-look three-star Michelin restaurant Epicure, formerly Gastronomique, marked the final phase of the project.

The spa boasts eight beauty treatment cabins; a Russian Wet Room with one of Paris' first affusion showers; a female-only Turkish Bath; and a double VIP suite.

A fitness centre and a hairdressing salon also feature as part of the spa, while the swimming pool on the sixth floor overlooking Parisian rooftops complements the recreation facilities.

Other product lines used at the spa include Russie Blanche; Les Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo; By Terry; La Maison De L'Argan; and Organic Pharmacy.

Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie was designed by hotel owner Maja Oetker and architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, who also oversaw the wider refurbishment of Hotel le Bristol.

Hotel Le Bristol chief executive officer Didier Le Calvez said: "Spa Le Bristol is a sanctuary devoted to the finest body treatments and wellbeing.

"This is an invitation to succumb to beauty and inner peace, from the finest treatments to the daylight diffused by the picture windows to the relaxing water wall at the heart of the spa."

Earlier this year, Hotel Le Bristol was declared to be a national treasure by the French government and was recognised as having "palace distinction"; the first French hotel to receive the accolade.
