Raffles L`Ermitage Beverly Hills, recipient of a Five-Star rating by the 2002 Mobil Travel Guide and the American Automobile Association`s (AAA) Five-Diamond Award, is pleased to announce the addition of RafflesAmrita Spa - a Raffles International Limited benchmark concept. Exemplifying unparalleled excellence in luxurious accommodations, service and design, the hotel adds the RafflesAmrita Spa luxury concept in its quest to provide ultimate perfection and elegance for its guests.
Raffles International`s Amrita Spas around the world have long welcomed weary travellers in search of fitness, serenity and rejuvenation. The exclusive luxury spa concept focuses on providing a haven of relaxation and nurturing to members and guests, while providing complete care of the skin, body and soul - all supported by a team of highly skilled therapists. The Amrita name is derived from the ancient Sanskrit legend where, from the beginning of time, Hindu deities searched for “Amrita,” an elixir that promised eternal youth. This legendary assurance of renewal will be a commitment delivered to every member and guest at RafflesAmrita Spa, Raffles L`Ermitage Beverly Hills.
“The addition of RafflesAmrita Spa reinforces Raffles L`Ermitage`s commitment to continually seek out and incorporate new dimensions and services designed to pamper our guests.
