This New Vegas Hotel Will Have A Spa-Within-A-Spa And An Event Sauna
19.09.2023 - 20:25 / forbes.com
When Fontainebleau Las Vegas makes its long-awaited debut Dec. 13, it will unveil Lapis Spa, a 55,000-square-foot refuge with unique amenities like a spa-within-a-spa, a European event sauna, a foot spa, décor that changes with the body’s circadian rhythms and one of the largest hotel gyms on the Strip.
Forbes Travel Guide got an exclusive preview of the 44-treatment-room spa inside the $3.7 billion newly built resort. Here are the highlights:
The Inspiration
While the sanctuary shares the same name as Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Lapis The Spa at Fontainebleau in Miami, the only carryover will be the “heritage of great service,” said Jennifer Lynn, director of spa and wellness for Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
The Vegas spa will embrace the name’s inspiration, the lapis lazuli, a stone that encourages strength, power, wisdom, truth and spiritual connection. A rare 150-pound piece of the cobalt-blue crystal will greet you at reception, and the stone will appear throughout the facilities. Plus, the Lissoni & Partners-designed spa will pepper the lapis hue among the dominant desert tones.
Known as the stone of the sky and the heavens, the lapis also inspires the spa’s celestial theme. “The sky and the heavens are very timeless and ageless,” Lynn said. “It allows us to hearken back to these ancient healing traditions, but there’s also something very modern and mysterious about the sky and the heavens as well. And so that’s where we lean more into that modern technology.”
The Spa-Within-A-Spa
Lapis will open Vegas’ first “spa-within-a-spa,” Lynn said. Accommodating parties of up to eight people, its Supernova Suite will have its own amenities, including a vitality pool, a steam shower, lockers, restrooms, a grooming area, three treatment tables and a dining area. A spa butler will greet you at Lapis’ check-in desk, escort you to the suite and oversee your spa day.
“We know very few people come to Vegas by themselves, but a lot of people come in small groups, and so the Supernova Suite is going to be the perfect opportunity for any small group that wanted to spa together,” she said. “It’s a beautiful space.”
The Facilities
Your spa experience will include Celestial Waters, innovative wellness facilities that you can use before or after a spa treatment (or you can just purchase a four-hour Celestial Waters Passport). Some of the facilities will be familiar to luxury spa devotees, like vitality pools, cold plunges, an herbal inhalation room scented with essential oils and experience showers (called star showers here) with sprays, overhead bucket deluges and simulated gentle rainstorms.
The most unusual offering sits in the center of the spa in the coed bathing area. The Aufguss, or event sauna, is a
