American beauty

If you want some spa time and an excuse to visit the Group’s newest addition to its American fold, Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta, then here is the perfect draw: the hotel’s Fantastic Getaway package combines a stay in this rebranded luxury property in the city’s boutique-chic Buckhead neighbourhood with a leisurely breakfast for two, valet parking and a special discount on selected spa treatments.

A haven of relaxation, the super-stylish spa has 14 private treatment rooms, a VIP Couples Suite, a Vitality Pool, a relaxation room with a lovely outdoor terrace, and an 18-metre indoor lap pool bathed in natural sunlight and overlooking the English Garden. After soothing the body in the heat and water oasis, there are many restorative treatments or spa journeys to choose from. Mandarin Oriental’s Signature Spa Therapies, developed by specialists in Traditional Chinese Medicine and master aromatherapists, combine body massage with therapeutic custom-blended essential oils, while the Aroma Stone Massage, inspired by an age-old Native Indian practice, is a therapy that will wash away deep muscle tension. For the expectant or new mother, there’s a massage using calendula-infused oil and various muds to nourish the skin. And couples can indulge together in one of the Suite Experiences, such as The Re-Connect, featuring a full body exfoliation and massage, or The Couples Retreat, which includes a bath, hot-stone massage, soothing body wrap and facial. Sheer bliss.

The Fantastic Getaway package starts from USD 325. Make a direct online reservation at www.mandarinoriental.com/atlanta, or call +1 404 995 7500
