As we enter the winter months its often a good time to look at implementing some self-care and wellness rituals, especially in the run-up to the busy and often stressful Christmas period.

What better way to give yourself some time out and prioritise some wellbeing than to book in for some luxury pampering and me-time at the five-star InterContinental Dublin, which has just completed a refresh of its popular Spa.

The Hotel's interior designer Millimetre Design took special care to keep the hotel's classic contemporary style intertwined with nature's beauty, blending luxurious elements with organic patterns and natural shapes creating an even more tranquil and sophisticated ambiance.

Further enhancing the nature theme, wallcoverings mimic the textures of tree bark, and the new logo features elegant gold leaves and elevating the sense of luxury, the space is adorned with high-end finishes, including marble, stone, velvet fabrics, and gold accents. This thoughtful design approach not only embodies the inspiration behind the refresh but also ensures a luxurious and serene environment that perfectly aligns with InterContinental Dublin's signature brand of sophistication and elegance.

The Spa's refresh also includes subtle additions and amends to the locker rooms with a new digital locking system, the dressing rooms, jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms as well as the pool area and the outdoor relaxation area with the comforting sounds of the water fountain.

Nicky Logue General Manager of InterContinental Dublin:

“We've refreshed The Spa's original decor with new furnishings, updated lighting, and a more contemporary colour palette to enhance the overall ambiance and we've focused on improving the overall guest experience with upgraded refreshments and amenities on offer. We are delighted with the refresh and believe the space is even more a haven of calm now. With our relaxing treatment rooms and our five experienced ESPA therapists, I believe The Spa has come into its own and will be welcomed by guests of the Hotel and day guests also”.

Angelee Gunnoo, The Spa's Manager who has been with the Hotel for over 15 years, believes the new refreshed space is an oasis of calm for those looking to escape and retreat and practice some self-care.

“Our beautiful ESPA treatments range from 55 to 85-minute facials including the ESPA Natural Facelift, Instant Radial Facial, and Intense Regenerating Facial. Body massage is essential for calming and relaxing the body and we have a beautiful selection of Inner Calm Massage, Swedish, Deep Muscle, Hot Stone and also Pre-natal massage. Reflexology with our Suzanne is a real treat as is the ESPA Body Wrap.

Our Express Treatments for those who need a little pampering but don't have much time, includes a 25-minute back, neck and shoulder massage, head massage, an ESPA eye lift, and an invigorating foot and leg treatment”.

For those looking for a Spa Daycation, the Hotel has partnered with BLOW Salon located in The Spa's Wellness Area to enhance the guest's pampering experience with a blow dry, and a file and polish after enjoying two 25-minute treatments including a choice of a back massage, reflexology, or head massage and then completing the day with a relaxing Afternoon Tea, expertly prepared by Head Pastry Chef Orna Larkin and her team, served in the Reading Room. The Spa Daycation also includes full use of the gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi and refreshed relaxation area. Complimentary car parking is also offered.
