Centara Hotels and Resorts is to open its first Cense by SPA Cenvaree-branded value spa at Centara Hotel and Convention Centre Khon Kaen, Thailand, next month.
The concept has been designed as a fast-service spa providing a range of core treatments and beauty services at affordable rates for guests without the time to visit a full-service facility.
Cense will focus on SPA Cenvaree's high standards of personal service and will be included at a select number of properties operated by the Thailand-based hospitality group.
In addition to the Cense spa, the newly-opened Centara Hotel and Convention Centre Khon Kaen also features a fitness centre with sauna and steamroom and an outdoor pool.
Centara group director of spa operations Elaine Chua said: "Our vision for Cense is to deliver effective spa services at affordable costs, while satisfying the discerning requirements of today's business and leisure travellers.
"This is part of our strategy to create a dynamic spa model in which services adhere to five-star quality but at lower prices, in order to cater to the evolving trends which we see as diversifying into day spas and into no-frills services."
