Allison Inn & Spa Opened – Newburg OR Resort Spa

October 6th, 2009

Fans of Oregon’s renowned pinot noirs finally have a luxury resort, with a full service spa, in the heart of the Willamette Valley wine country.

The 85-room Allison Inn & Spa officially opened on Sept. 26 in the foothills of Newberg, the gateway to the wine country, for visitors arriving from Portland – as most do.

Locals celebrated the resort’s much anticipated arrival with a soiree that included a peek at guest rooms, tours of the 15,000-square-foot spa, tastes of chef Nathan Lockwood’s “locavore” cuisine, sips of valley pinots – and a salute to local artists, whose work dresses the hotel in serene Northwest style.

The four-story hotel is a mélange of wood, glass, stone, copper and water features. It’s backed by a five-acre vineyard and forest. The scent of cedar permeates the resort’s 35-acre grounds.

The hotel’s smallest rooms measure 490 square feet and are loaded with amenities such as gas fireplaces, luxury linens, Bose sounds systems, deep bathtubs that open to fireplace views, private terraces or balconies. Rates start at $295.

The Spa

The resort’s spa is a haven of sensory tranquility: Flooring cushions footsteps; woven wall-coverings swallow sound. Dark woods and colored glass give the spa’s 12 treatment rooms a distinct northwest feel – as do three outdoor terraces, fireplaces and trickling water features. On cold and rainy northwest days, floor-to-ceiling glass doors can be closed, keeping out the damp chill – but still allowing the sense of outdoors inside.

Spa patrons will know they’re in the Northwest wine country – indulging in crushed-grape-seed scrubs, honey-and-wine wraps and even an “Oregon Rain Shower,” a light massage under a waterfall.

Jory

The hotel’s 84-seat restaurant, Jory, is named for the reddish soil predominant in the wine country. Executive chef Nathan Lockwood left Fork in Marin to launch the restaurant. (He also cooked at One Market, Acquerello and Fleur de Lys in San Francisco.)
San Diego: Works by local artists, including Ramona Youngquist, give the resort a distinct Northwest feel.

Works by local artists, including Ramona Youngquist, give the resort a distinct Northwest feel.

One of Lockwood’s first moves was planting a ¾-acre vegetable garden at the resort. Next he established relationships with local shepherds, who provide him with vineyard-grazed lamb; he gets eggs from nearby ranchers, fruit from local orchards. The 33-year-old chef will offer house-cured meats; his dishes will incorporate local products including black truffles and mushrooms, locally ranched duck, quail, rabbits and pork , Oregon-made cheeses — and of course local wines.

Jory’s wine list includes a 700-bottle selection and 50 wines by the glass – focusing, of course, on the 200 wineries in the Willamette Valley.

IF YOU GO

Getting there: The Allison Inn & Spa is 25 miles from downtown Portland, at 2525 Allison Lane in Newberg.

Staying there: Rooms for two start at $295.

The Spa: The Allison Spa is open to the public. Treatment prices start at $45 for a 45-minute pedicure. For $170, get a 90-minute Grape Seed Cure that includes a crushed-grape-seed scrub, a honey-and-wine wrap and a shea butter massage. Get an Oregon Rain Shower massage for $85 (a 45-minute light massage experienced under a waterfall).

Dining there: Jory is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner – as well as Sunday brunch. A three-course Sunday Family Supper runs $29 per person. A four-course fixed-price dinner runs $53. Free wine tastings and talks featuring local vintners are planned from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays

Elaia spa open at the Hyatt at Olive 8

April 17th, 2009

Elaia spa has opened in the Hyatt at Olive 8, Seattle’s soon-to-be LEED-certified hotel — the first hotel in the city to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

A member of the Green Spa Network, a nonprofit trade organization that promotes sustainable and eco-friendly practices in the spa industry, the 15,000-square-foot spa is committed to energy and water conservation, recycling, waste reduction, and the use of natural and organic products in their services.

Elaia (Greek for olive) features 12 treatment rooms with exquisite lighting that creates a warm, honeyed glow. Each room can accommodate multiple treatments, so there’s no need for guests to shuffle from room to room for their next service. (A good thing, since the spa’s hallway looks right onto the hotel’s parking circle.)

Elaia’s Market Fresh offerings are seasonally changing services that use fresh ingredients sourced from Washington state growers. Current Market Fresh treatments include a lavender mint scrub and a white lavender clay wrap ($120 each). Look forward to a cherry mint scrub and wrap in May.

Other treatments include the Elaia Signature massage, which uses certified organic olive oil from Oregon in a massage that blends Swedish and Thai techniques (60 minutes, $110). During the 75-minute Oxygen Glow facial ($175), vitamin-infused oxygen breathes new life into tired skin.

Careful attention to detail, such as customizable music, is apparent throughout the spa, though I did notice a kink or two to work out; I was assured by the spa manager that the incongruous bottle of Ajax I spied near the nail salon will be replaced by a non-chlorinated, environmentally friendly option.

Elaia’s guests also have access to the hotel’s whirlpool and 65-foot lap pool, which are purified through a saltwater system that eliminates the need for chlorine. You can hear music even underwater, and the pool is surrounded by huge windows that look out onto blossoming trees, reinforcing the feel of an oasis in the middle of the city.

Fort Worth Texas Hotel Luxury Spa – Mokara

March 23rd, 2009

 

Located on the third floor of the sparkly, shiny and very recently launched Omni Fort Worth Hotel, the Mokara Spa is one of what the mothership is calling its “upscale spas.” And it delivers on upscale with soft robes you almost melt into upon arrival, a calming and comfy waiting room with an expansive view of downtown and an opportunity to hit the sauna and just linger long after being pampered.

Private rooms for massaging, facial-ing and body polishing also feel sinfully luxurious, with softer-than-soft sheets and just-right temperature, which is a big deal when you’re mostly naked. Although eight varieties of massages are featured, from basic Swedish to the signature Mokara, being nine months pregnant, I decided to try the Mother To Be. As the woman who booked the appointment said when I called, “It is 60 minutes of relaxation, which I am guessing you need right about now.”

The experience: The Mokara Spa just opened and, as expected, a few kinks needed unkinking. Nobody answered the phone the first four times I tried to make an appointment, and my first appointment was canceled due to an unexpected spa closing.

Both were handled with apologies and professionalism, though, and a massage is inevitably judged by its relaxation factor. Especially when discomfort has been a way of life for almost 10 months.

I began the Mother To Be by going over a questionnaire with my masseuse: How is the pregnancy going? What hurts? What needs TLC? What do you want from the next 60 minutes?

And with that begins the pampering.

Starting on my back (yes, at an incline, to avoid the pregnancy no-no of lying flat on your back), what I am told is an all-natural, chemical-free whipped shea butter balm is massaged into what have become cankles and extremely swollen feet. Both problems seem like distant memories after a couple of minutes, and this continues on the legs and arms.

Of course, the real test of any massage is when you flip onto your stomach and the kneading and rubbing is focused on the back. And anybody who has been or is pregnant knows there is no way to get there, or even close to there, comfortably.

Instead the masseuse had me lie on my side, gave me a pillow for support and started working on the kinks that had built up after almost nine months of carrying around another person. Then it was on to the other side. And I am not ashamed to say, I have not slept that well in two months.

The massage literature promises to use “tried & tested, safe pregnancy techniques to . . . alleviate fatigue, sooth muscle and joint pain, and improve circulation.” I just know I felt lighter and better.

I woke up just as she was massaging my temples and scalp, which were no longer begging for an Advil and then, poof, we were done way, way, way too soon.

Cost: The Mother To Be is $110 for a 60-minute massage, while a Mokara Mother To Be package, which includes massage, Moroccan Rose Manicure and Instant Revival Pedicure, is $230. A complete list of all spa services, including packages, is available online or in a brochure from the hotel.

Good to know: While adapted for each stage of pregnancy, the Mother To Be massage (like all things during these nine months) is probably best to run by your OB-GYN first. And book now, before the secret gets out about this spa and appointments are harder to come by.

Spa hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday

Information: 1300 Houston St., Fort Worth, 817-350-412

Spa Blended Scents – One of a Kind Personalized Perfume You Design

March 20th, 2009


Most women have what they refer to as their “signature scent,” the fragrance they’ve been spritzing their necks and wrists with for years. They, along with friends and family who can smell them coming, consider the scent all their own. But, it usually isn’t. Not even close.

When a perfume is produced, packaged then peddled at every major department store in the country, the term signature scent is about as realistic as celebrity fragrance designers stepping foot in perfumeries.

But, Jane Hendler is changing that. As the founder of Ajne Rare & Precious, a custom blending perfumery in Carmel, Calif., she’s been concocting couture fragrances for customers such as Reese Witherspoon, Kanye West and Hilary Swank for four years. Now, she brings Ajne Parfum Demi-Blend to the Spa at Four Seasons Las Vegas, making personalized perfumes a spa visit away for locals.

“When I first opened, everyone wanted the custom-blended perfumes but they weren’t dedicated to the length of time it took and the $1,500 cost,” she says. “Then I came up with the idea of preblended accords.”

Every accord contains a blend of the finest and purest essential oils, which Hendler’s partner and husband, Rex Rombach, searches high and low to find. Rose oils derive from Bulgaria and champaca oils hail from West India. Each one of Ajne’s 200 plant-distilled essential oils is free of aroma-chemicals and phthalates, making them just as friendly to the environment as your sense of smell.

Demi-Blends all start with a test of the chakras, which have become a focus of the spa industry in recent years. Each of the seven chakras represents a different energy center, ranging from communication to spiritual connectedness. Based on questionnaire answers, a mélanger — a specialist trained in blending custom perfumes — determines the weakness and strength of each chakra and which accords will aid in harmonizing them. From there, clients sniff out a process of elimination. The final few accords that remain make up the Demi-Blend unique to their needs and senses.

“The pure essential oils in our formulations actually have a balancing effect on each chakra because I divided all my fragrances into chakra categories,” says Hendler.

Bottles start at $200 for .5 oz of spray perfume. A black heart flacon dabber is $250 for .5 oz and 1 oz. of spray perfume is $300.

But, perfumes aren’t the only form the oils take. Diffusers also can be produced to fill a home, event hall or wedding reception area with a scent. In fact, Four Seasons Las Vegas contemplated holding the Demi-Blends in its bridal salon it’s so popular with new brides. Newlyweds can formulate a scent that will forever remind them of their big day and brides can give mini bottles as wedding favors.

“When (a perfume) is one-of-a-kind it becomes even more special,” says Hendler.

To schedule a Demi-Blend, contact the Spa at Four Seasons Las Vegas at 632-5302. For more information about Ajne

Naples Grande Beach Resort Joins Waldorf Astoria Collection

February 17th, 2009

Hilton Hotels Corporation announces that the Naples Grande Beach Resort in Naples, Florida, has joined the Waldorf Astoria, continuing the luxury brand’s expansion into key leisure markets worldwide.

Situated among lush palms and balmy sea breezes in Naples, Florida’s exclusive Southwest city, along the Gulf of Mexico’s Paradise Coast, the Naples Grande Beach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection is surrounded by 200 acres of Nature Preserve. Designed to coexist with its surrounding environment of clear water, unspoiled mangrove-lined beaches and lush green flora, the resort completed a multimillion-dollar renovation in 2007, unveiling an elaborate redesign indicative of the destination’s changing face and solidifying its status as one of Florida’s premier resorts.

Following in the footsteps of recent Florida additions to the portfolio the Casa Marina Resort & Beach Club, Waldorf Astoria Collection and The Reach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection, in Key West, Florida, the Naples Grande Beach Resort is the 11th hotel to join the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Collection, as the portfolio continues to expand into key indigenous destinations.

Featuring an 18-story tower with 395 luxuriously appointed guestrooms and 29 tower suites, the Naples Grande Beach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection combines comfortable elegance with the active lifestyle evocative of Naples’ stunning setting. The resort offers an array of outdoor activities to acclimatize guests to the dazzling Florida scenery – from its Tennis Center with Har-Tru courts offering professional services managed by Peter Burwash International, to the exclusive championship golf course at Naples Grande Golf Club and including beachfront sailing, windsurfing and aqua cycling along three miles of Gulf of Mexico white sugar-sand beach.

Inside the resort all refurbished guest rooms feature a luxurious take on Floridian style while exuding the casual, comfortable elegance which has become the resort’s signature. Custom designed furniture, hand-selected fabrics and luxurious touches such as silky window treatments, plush carpeting and sumptuous bedding enrich each guestroom and suite, while oversized closets, expansive bathrooms with five fixture arrangements and separate oversized tub/glass enclosed shower combinations provide the ultimate retreat.

The 50 self-contained Bungalows, adjacent to the main resort have been completely refurbished by Bob Barry and feature design elements of relaxed gray, beige and green and Asian-inspired clean, simple lines for an exclusive, private space for guests’ relaxation. Elsewhere, the Naples Grande Beach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection offers three swimming pools and private cabanas with butler service, providing ultimate luxury and relaxation. For those guests seeking an extra level of luxury, the resort’s Golden Door Spa – the first of its kind on the U.S. east coast – features elements of traditional Japanese architecture, serene gardens, relaxation pool, individual mp3 players and a meditation labyrinth, providing an awe-inspiring yet calming environment to unwind and relax.

Ross Klein, Global Head Luxury & Lifestyle Brands, Hilton Hotels Corporation, said: “Following in the footsteps of our most recent Florida additions to the portfolio, we are delighted to welcome the Naples Grande Beach Resort to the Waldorf Astoria Collection. This resort provides the perfect balance of stunning local scenery, and indigenous local experiences and intuitive, luxurious comfort, and the renovations have given a fresh face to an already popular destination.”

The renovations also included the addition of a Strip House steak restaurant, a signature dining experience first introduced in Manhattan and featuring sumptuous silk furnishings and vintage Studio Manasse images. The Strip House offers an eclectic and design-rich fine dining space, designed by celebrated interior architect David Rockwell and featuring cuisine from acclaimed chef John Schenk. Also included in the renovations were a full redesign of the lobby and lounge space and updated meeting space – unveiling a banquet facility, the pool-facing Vista Ballroom which boasts floor to ceiling windows. With 2 further ballrooms, as well as an additional 27 meeting and breakout rooms, the Naples Grande Beach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection offers 80,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor space, an accommodating base for all occasions, from bar mitzvahs to board meetings.

In addition to the Naples Grande Beach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection, the Waldorf Astoria Collection also operates ten other properties – seven in the United States, comprising the inspiration for the brand, the legendary Waldorf Astoria® in New York; Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona; Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa in Maui, Hawaii, La Quinta Resort & Club in Southern California, as well as the Casa Marina Resort & Beach Club, Waldorf Astoria Collection and The Reach Resort, Waldorf Astoria Collection, both in the Florida Keys. Internationally it operates the 46-suite Qasr Al Sharq or “Palace of the Orient” in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the Rome Cavalieri, and most recently the Trianon Palace in Versailles which joined the collection in December 08.

The company is also developing Waldorf Astoria Collection hotels and residences in key cities around the world and this year expects to launch the Waldorf Astoria Orlando in Florida, Dakota Mountain Lodge in Park City (Utah) and the Bentley Waldorf Astoria Collection in London. The Palace Jerusalem, Israel, the Waldorf Astoria Sarasota in Florida and the proposed the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills in California are also scheduled to open in 2010.

Bardessono Luxury Inn & Spa to open in Napa Valley

February 9th, 2009

Destination design firm WATG provided complete architectural design services for Bardessono, a 62-room boutique luxury inn and spa opening this week on a 4.9-acre site in Yountville, California, in the heart of Napa Valley.
Bardessono Hotel Entry at Grand Opening

The inn includes a spa with four treatment rooms, a 75-foot-long rooftop infinity pool, a fine-dining restaurant, and meeting space. The design reflects a blending of the Valley’s agrarian character, the high refinement associated with its wines, and the indoor/outdoor character of local living.

Bardessono Hotel Pool

The project uses solar and geothermal energy, sophisticated energy management systems, sustainable building materials, and organic landscape management practices. The project is pursuing a LEED Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council.

Bardessono Hotel Green Wall

Some of the unique elements of the inn include a lobby without a front desk – guests are greeted in the foyer by the staff; every room has its own courtyard that allows for absolute guest privacy; and spa treatments will be available in every guestroom.

Bardessono Hotel Unit with photovoltaic roofs

“Guests will be able to take their showers outdoors, underneath the stars,” said Susan Frieson, WATG associate and lead architect on the project. “That’s just one of many experiences at Bardessono that will connect people with their environment.”

Some of the sustainable design features of the property include:

• Eighty-two 300-foot-deep geothermal wells to heat and cool guestrooms and to provide hot water.

• 940 solar panels on the buildings’ flat roofs, hidden from view by parapets that produce 200 KW of power.

• Rammed-earth sculptural walls and 100-year-old olive trees.

• Paving stones and sand for the entrance road, to allow water to seep into the soil, and valet parking, which will allow guests to walk – rather than drive – throughout the property.

• Automatically-controlled exterior Venetian blinds to let the sun and heat in early in the day and out later in the day.

• Dual-pane glass, designed to take advantage of natural light while controlling glare and heat gain.

• Fluorescent bulbs and light-emitting diodes. Everything electric in the rooms is on motion-detectors that shut them off when a guest leaves. When they return and put their key in the door, the current go back on.

• Dual-flush toilets and low-flow fixtures that save water.

• Filtered water, which takes the place of bottled water.

• Drought-resistant landscaping and underground emitters for outdoor watering.

• Re-use and treatment of gray and black water for irrigation through Yountville’s water system.

The project is managed by MTM Luxury Lodging and was developed by Phil Sherburne, who also developed Willows Lodge in the Seattle area and Inn of the Spanish Garden in Santa Barbara, CA.
