French skincare brand L’Occitane has opened a new spa at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco in partnership with Sanghvi Group, which operates L’Occitane spas across five hotels in India.
The hotel previously had a Spa-de-Vie, which has now been transformed to a dedicated L’Occitane spa. The company said it is the first of its kind on the US West Coast, and is built around the brand’s core values of authenticity, sensoriality and respect.
The 6,200sq ft (576sq m) L’Occitane Spa combines Provencal details, such as scenic countryside portraits, with a clean, crisp design aesthetic, including whitewashed wooden floors.
“I am so pleased to lead this project on behalf of L’Occitane,” said spa director Jill Carlen. “Both L’Occitane and The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco have an award-winning history of delivering one-of-a-kind experiences with the ultimate in service.”
The spa features three treatment rooms and a holistic menu that incorporate ingredients of lavender, verbena and immortelle in treatments like the brand’s signature Immortelle Divine Secret Facial, which combines lifting and contouring massage techniques.
Located in San Francisco’s Nob Hill within a 1909 Neoclassical landmark building, the spa caters to tourists and local clientele, with treatments such as a jet-lag reviver and a ‘tech tension relief.’
