MSpa International announces today that it has signed an agreement with The Marco Polo Hotels Group to manage and operate a luxury and modern spa facility at the Marco Polo Shenzhen.

The spa at The Marco Polo Shenzhen will be another addition to the Mandara brand of which MSpa International currently operates and manages 3 in China and 13 in Asia.  The 391 rooms Marco Polo hotel in Shenzhen is scheduled to open in June 2006.

Located on the fourth level of the hotel, the spa is comprised of a VIP double spa suite with Jacuzzi facilities, two double spa suites and eight single treatment rooms. In addition to the warmly decorated reception and waiting lounge, guests will be able to relax in the private rooms of the Beauty Salon where full service beauty treatments will be available. Features of the VIP suites will include oversized terrazzo Jacuzzi and day beds with spacious private changing areas. All guests of the Mandara Spa will have access to the spacious outdoor swimming pool including sauna and steam room.

The spa menu of Mandara Spa at The Marco Polo Shenzhen will offer a wide range of spa treatments, instilled with the beauty and allure of ancient traditions and the sophistication of modern spa techniques. The treatments are flavored with various cultures including Indonesia, Thailand and China with ancient rituals in health and beauty to meet the expectations of the most discerning guests and spa goers.

Designed by Wilson & Associates in Singapore, one of Asia’s most prestigious interior design companies, the 1,000 square meter spa incorporates traditional stone, wood and ceramic decorative pieces with cushion fabric covers in soft tones, offering a subtle luxurious contemporary feel with a generous amount of style and sophistication.

The name Mandara comes from an ancient Sanskrit legend about the gods’ quest to find the elixir of immortality and eternal youth. Mandara Spa has embraced the legend with unique and exotic spa treatments that reflect the beauty, spirit and traditions of those ancient times and the soul and ritual of Asian culture. Every Mandara Spa is a haven of serenity and natural beauty, created for those seeking to relax, restore and rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.
