The 'art of bath' celebrated at Sofitel Queenstown
Premier five-star hotel, Sofitel Queenstown, is redefining luxury by taking its ultimate bath experience to a whole new
level.
Guests can now savour the services of a dedicated 'Bathologist' who will draw a bath and pre-prepare it to suit any
mood, complete with bath pillow, robe and slippers - all laid out with a fresh flower.
"Guests can choose from our signature blend of essential oils to soothe, embrace and revitalise," said Sofitel
Queenstown general manager Mark Wilkinson.
"It's a truly relaxing experience and we're already receiving rave reviews of the gorgeous Bathologist service."
Three Bathology packages offer guests the chance to pamper the body and soothe away tension in therapeutic bubbling
water.
Options include 'Tranquility', featuring lavender, frankincense, chamomile, mandarin, bergamot and ylang ylang essential
oils to calm the mind and emotions, and lift the spirits. This package comes complete with cooling eye mask, herbal tea,
mineral water or French champagne.
A 'Unity' packages features exotic oriental scents of sandalwood, clove bud, ylang ylang, lime, myrrh and patchouli to
promote relaxation, and encourage intimacy and communication. Unity comes with French champagne, rose petals, chocolate
dipped strawberries and soulful tunes.
'Clarity' is infused with petitgrain (pronounced petty-gran), lime, lemongrass, mandarin, sweet orange and neroli
fragrances to refresh the mind and body, boost the immune system and tone skin. An exfoliating body scrub, refreshing
eye mask and herbal tea accompany this experience.
Specially built to host 'bathing-a-deux', every Sofitel Queenstown bathroom has an astonishingly deep double spa bath,
created by UK design guru Sir Norman Foster.
"A bathology experience can also be rounded off nicely with our new in-room tranquillity, aromatherapy or deep tissue
sports massages," said Mr Wilkinson.
