Located on the 116th and 118th floors of the Ritz-Carlton International Commerce Center in Hong Kong, the ESPA spa is currently the world’s highest spa, sitting close to the sky in this luxurious hotel. The marvelous spa was designed by HBA/Hirsch Bedner and redefines the urban spa experience while claiming the title as the crowning jewel of the city’s skyline.
The ESPA spa is situated at more than 1,000 feet above the busy streets of Hong Kong and guests could enjoy amazing views of the city while relaxing in the modern designed spaces that seem to create a sanctuary of softness. With nine deluxe treatment rooms and two couples’ suites, plus floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views and relaxing therapies, this spa is probably the best luxurious escape in Hong Kong.
The spa’s lush decor and carefully appointed design elements are truly unique, exhibiting walls upholstered in horsehair, while the perimeter of the floor features warm timber infused with bronze metal that contrasts with the cool hues of the ivory stone floor from the central reception area.
To keep up with the spa’s modern vibe, all spa amenities are concealed behind sliding doors while a glass pendant glistens in smooth contrast with the textured paneling of the space. Stylish bronze metal accents and finishes offer an unexpected dose of sparkle to the spa’s rooms.
The VIP suites from ESPA feature a luxury cocoon for every guest that’s anchored by a bronze feature wall. From these coccoons guests could enjoy gorgeous views over Hong Kong while relaxing or getting a spa treatment on the treatment bed areas. The spa’s relaxation room is an idylic place where guests can relax prior or post treatment in the custom designed lounger pods.
