Sentierre, a new US-based hotel brand with a focus on wellbeing, will include a full-service spa created by Sylvia Sepielli in its first resort, Sentierre Padre Canyon in Utah, US.
CEO and founder of Sentierre Stan Castleton said he created Sentierre as a new kind of five-star resort experience.
“Sentierre transcends traditional terms such as hotel by offering guests an experience that can be introspective, interactive and invigorating,” said Castleton.
Sentierre Padre Canyon will be built on a 43-acre parcel of land in the Mojave Desert, and will include 105 guestrooms and suites, as well as 42 residential villas.
Designed by architects Allen+Philp, the Padre Canyon Sanctuary encompasses more than 14,000sq ft (1,300sq m), including six treatment rooms, pre- and post-treatment relaxation areas, an adult pool and a private lounge.
The Sanctuary will also include 14 stand-apart guest suites, including five Tuacahn Suites with private pools, eight Spa Suites that will include in-room treatment spaces, and a luxury 4,000sq ft (372sq m) Spa Villa with four private bedrooms.
“It’s exciting to be part of the evolution of this new hotel brand, particularly because Sentierre has wellness and wellbeing as part of its DNA,” Sepielli told
Spa Opportunities. “It’s not a theme or concept; it’s who they are.”
Named for the French word for pathway – ‘Sentier’ – and earth – ‘Terre’ – Sentierre carries the theme of pathways throughout the resort. It does this both in a literal way, with pathways running through the extensive landscape, and more figuratively, with Path Guides – individuals who are described as equal parts facilitator, teacher and friend – who will help guests pursue their interests and explore new prospects for growth.
These Path Guides will specialise in crafting interactive life experiences, from on-site activities, such as cooking classes or guided nature hikes, or far-away adventures such as skiing in the Rockies or attending Fashion Week in New York City.
“The property, the pathways and even the art are all envisioned to complement each other, so man and nature can come together to create something special,” said Castleton.
The opening date for Sentierre Padre Canyon is not yet decided.
