Wellness
From the Seychelles to Switzerland, discover the world of Guerlain spas
Where luxury hotels meet legendary beauty
For spa-seekers in search of next-level rejuvenation, checking into a hotel with a thoughtfully-curated wellness space offers the ultimate in beauty and wellbeing. With the spa industry valued at an estimated $155 billion worldwide and projected to reach over $211 billion by 2030, the number of designer hotel spas is likely to grow, too.
French heritage brand Guerlain is the name that currently stands out for its strategic expansion into some of the world’s most prestigious hotels. In 2025, its spas are set to land at Waldorf Astoria New York and Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, joining a host of recent Guerlain spa openings around the globe.
The spas draw on almost two centuries of the brand’s pioneering skincare, signature techniques that have been developed and refined over 80 years, and a genuine focus on what you need.
Guerlain products contain rare and powerful ingredients, like orchids for longevity and healing bee ingredients, to enhance the luxurious experience in both the spa and hotels in which they are used.
Beauty Experts craft the treatments specifically for you, carefully adjusting their techniques and pressure, while following Guerlain protocols and incorporating the brand's renowned skincare to deliver remarkable results. Spa guests can expect innovative elements, such as warmed glass spheres, cooling rose quartz and specific gua sha methods for a multi-sensory experience.
The facial massages work deeply to stimulate muscles, sculpt facial contours, and visibly improve your skin’s texture. And those in search of express treatments can experience Guerlain's famous 19-minute facial, which shows how impressive results can be delivered with efficiency.
Then there are the locations. Guerlain spas are found in hotels tucked in the Seychellois jungle, in sought-after city addresses in London and New York, and inside Swiss lakeside retreats. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites below.
The best hotels with Guerlain spas
For an escape into island serenity, the Cheval Blanc Spa by Guerlain in the Seychelles, unveiled in December 2024, encourages you to reconnect with the elements. The eight treatment rooms include two prestige double suites, and are inspired by the island’s natural beauty, with treatments celebrating water, shells, earth and air.
In the heart of Provence, Airelles Spa by Guerlain at Airelles Gordes, La Bastide brings a new wellness era to the enchanting 16th-century palace hotel. Think iconic rituals within a serene, monastic atmosphere inspired by the nearby Sénanque Abbey. When it comes to the treatments, try the Jewel of Bastide, unique to the Airelles Spa, which uses olive tree as a massage tool, and clay and honey for radiant skin and complete relaxation.
For lakeside calm, the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne welcomed a chic new Guerlain spa in February 2024. Spanning over 1,500 square metres, it boasts two swimming pools, eight treatment rooms and a relaxation area. Each changing room affords its own steam room, sauna, ice cave, and ice fountain. Signature treatments include The Riviera Glow facial, a tribute to the Swiss Riviera using light therapy, and the Ballet on Lake Geneva massage, inspired by the Béjart Ballet and combining precise, rhythmic movements.
Beyond these, Guerlain spas grace prestigious addresses around the world, such as Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel in Anguilla, Rosewood Mayakoba in Mexico, One&Only Aesthesis on the Athenian Riviera, Raffles London at The OWO and Airelles, Val d'Isère. Each destination has a distinct Guerlain touch, ensuring that wherever you seek rejuvenation, a glorious experience awaits.
