Our Services

Once the concept, feasibility and spatial distribution (including guest flow) have been completed, we develop the pre-opening Critical Path.

Critical Path

Market and demographic evaluation

Competitive analysis

Space plan recommendations

Marketing and programming components

Financial analysis with all assumptions

Our studies can include:

Size, scope and complexity for the facility and projected financial results.

Comprehensive feasibility and needs analysis study helping hotel clients make the most informed decisions regarding the development of a leisure facility;

In addition to spa pre-opening critical path and timeline development, we provide:

We conduct market research and perform in-depth site and competitive analyses, along with a concentrated investigation of significant data and international benchmarks, to form an optimal development strategy.

01   Project Feasibility

Utilise your hotel's unique location, philosophy, aims and objectives to co-create an innovative spa concept and brand.

Recommend consumer-recognized spa brands which have cache and which can bring positive press/media.

Conduct market research along with a study of regional influences, local customs, historical anthropological and cultural elements.

Perform thorough analyses of your property’s image and competitive strengths (swot).

Process

Truly memorable experiences are grounded in a “journey” or theme, which is unique and particular to a locale and its user population.

Given the number of choices that consumers have today, having a brand with a solid concept that complements your property, will assist in making your hotel spa more attractive and compelling.

02   Brand Development

Space allocation, room schedules and room relationship guidance.

Equipment specifications.

Examples of treatment room configurations.

Room Data Sheets [operational design requirements].

With a view to maximising opportunity to create memorable spa experiences while driving top line and bottom line results, we collaborate with your internal operational group and with your design firm to focus on creative aesthetics of spa design and, equally important, on functional considerations that impact profitability.

03   Design Consultation

Promoting retail within the spa/hotel is also very important to the overall success of a brand. We will provide direction with the development of all in-room promotional pieces as well as any website, online or direct mail promotions. Trunk shows are one way to offer the latest, relevant, and most current trends in an event setting – this can also contribute to a unique spa/hotel experience while minimizing financial risk.

3. Promotion + Maximizing Revenues

Relationships are unquestionably one of the most important values among all successful businesses. We believe that in order to stay relevant, it is critical to develop key brand partnerships (skincare, clothing, beauty items and more) that will speak to and reinforce that the spa/hotel brand knows and identifies with their customer. Guests associate with particular brands and designers; they have a genuine sense of comfort when they see that the spa/hotel does as well. We will help you develop these relationships that are supportive to the overall hotel brand strategy.

Unique and authentic offerings that your guests wouldn't traditionally expect to discover within spa/hotel retail. Through constant and current research, travel and trade show attendance – we maintain a constant focus on exceeding the guests needs while staying true to the target market. Because we often share the same lifestyle tastes in retail products, food and culture – we have an advantage that allows us to select the ideal merchandise for the setting.
