The project: 4SeasonsSpa created four whirlpools of various sizes for the newly built spa at the five-star Conservatorium hotel in Amsterdam.
The equipment: The whirlpool systems give a complete body hydromassage through 24 jets in each tub.
What makes it stand out? Each bath is designed in a contemporary style and finished in a dark marble to harmonise with the materials and colours used in the design concept by spa architect Piero Lissoni. Tiles run directly from the walls into the bathtub making it look as if the bath was sculptured in marble and integrated into the floor and wall.
Other key features: The whirlpools, which are located in the spa’s double treatment room and its three wellness suites, can be filled and drained in just a few minutes. The approximate size of the baths is 150cm by 160cm and they hold a volume of around 1,200 litres.
What else? 4SeasonsSpa also supplied the spa at the renovated Hotel Café Royal in London, designed by David Chipperfield, that is due to open soon (see SB12/2 p24).
Company background: 4SeasonsSpa has distributors located in Europe and also in the Middle East.
