Big news out of Paris: Le Royal: Monceau, Raffles Paris has opened its highly anticipated spa, designed by living style legend Philippe Starck. The white-on-white retreat was conceived entirely by the designer—from the custom furnishings and wall of framed mirrors to the glittering swimming pool measuring 92 feet in length, the largest of any hotel in Paris. The first spa from My Blends by Clarins has seven treatment rooms, a fitness center with all the latest equipment, and separate relaxation rooms for men and women each featuring a hammam, ice fountain, laconium, sauna, and shower experience. Personal trainers and pool coaches are available.
