This March, Refresh and Renew at the Renaissance Orlando Resort's nèu lotus spa

    /24-7PressRelease/ - ORLANDO, FL, February 15, 2008 - The Renaissance Orlando Resort's brand new nèu lotus spa, slated to open March 1, 2008, promises to be a journey of restorative discovery and features a full menu of signature nail services as well as customized, results-oriented facial, massage and body services, perfect to warm the chill from many cold winter months.

Nèu, pronounced "new" is Greek for renewal. The petals of the Lotus flower retract and submerge each night only to reappear each morning with brilliant beauty and new vitality. In the spirit of the Lotus, this spa allows guests to fold inward - immerse in healing - then rise and flourish again.

A private locker area with a steam room and a relaxation room is the gateway to a tranquil experience. The Orlando spa's eight treatment rooms can accommodate 90 appointments per day including manicures, pedicures, facials and body services.

In addition to the spa, the resort has a 2,600 square foot Health Club with complimentary 24-hour access to all resort guests. The Health Club features Lifefitness equipment, including elliptical trainers, treadmills and stationary bikes as well as a variety of weight training stations. The stretching room is a great location to schedule private yoga classes for up to 20 people.

The experience...

Guests enter an inviting reception area, where they are welcomed with a warm smile, aromatic scents and relaxing music. Nail appointments are escorted a short distance to the salon, in a secluded area behind the reception area. Those treated to a facial, massage or body treatment are escorted to the locker room.

Locker areas, complete with robes and slippers, showers and steam room, is the starting point. Guests enjoy fruit-infused water or hot tea in one of two relaxation areas before and after their treatment experience. Ladies and gentlemen enjoy different relaxation experiences, yet both feature wall-mounted flat-panel LCD screens with soothing nature scenes. While relaxing, guests might choose to indulge in a hot paraffin hand and or foot treatment as well.

Following the treatment, guests are offered a personalized Home-Care Recommendation that addresses their personal needs. The experience continues in the relaxation area with a cup of fruit-infused water as guests are relaxed, revitalized and renèued.
