Marilyn Monroe Spas will open a US$1.5m (€1.2m, £0.9m) 5,200sq ft (483sq m) spa and beauty salon in November at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress near Walt Disney World in Florida, US.

The 815-bedroom hotel will host the fourth Marilyn Monroe Spa boutique - a beauty salon concept founded by former Walt Disney World executive Al Weiss and spa entrepreneur Niki Bryan. It will be a full-service spa, featuring seven treatment rooms and a couples’ suite, a relaxation room, locker rooms and a ‘Glamour Room’ for nail services. This ‘Glamour Room’ will also include five blow-dry hair styling stations, according to bizjournals.com. The brand’s skincare and makeup will also be sold in the spa’s retail shop.

The project will create 25 temporary construction jobs and 25 permanent spa positions.

The hotel itself hosts a variety of sports activities for guests, including the Grand Cypress Academy of Golf, four Jack Nicklaus signature-designed golf courses, a 24-hour gym, a tennis and racquet club, a half-acre swimming pool with 12 waterfalls, multiple slides and a sundeck, in addition to water sports on the neighbouring Lake Windsong.

Two restaurants, plus four bars and lounges are located on-site at the hotel. The property also comprises 65,000sq ft (6,039sq m) of meeting space. Shuttle services are provided by the hotel to nearby Orlando theme parks and attractions.
