Castle views, traditional water treatments at new Four Seasons Prague spa
Four Seasons Hotel Prague has opened its new Ava Spa, which focuses on local water and historical Czech spa traditions, and features views of Prague Castle.
This marks the first time the Old Town hotel, which includes three historic buildings, will have its own spa.
Ava – taken from the Celtic word for water – has its five treatment rooms named after nearby rivers that also feature ‘ava’ in their names: the Vltava, Morava, Otava, Litava and Svitava.
The Vltava is a large double suite with rhassoul and a bath, and features views of Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge.
The spa also features a sauna, steam bath and vitality pool with waterfall, massage jets and hydrotherapy, surrounded by lounge chairs and a fireplace.
Featuring skincare brands Swiss Perfection, Sodashi and Omorovicza, the Ava Spa also offers the opportunity to sample traditional Czech-inspired baths, and is open to both hotel and outside guests.
“What makes Ava Spa unique to Prague is our select line of cosmetics and signature treatments,” said Claudia Santos, spa manager. “We are especially proud of our spa rituals, which include purifying baths, detoxifying massages and age-defying facials.”
Signature treatments include the Karlovy Vary Inspiration, which uses bath water infused with healing compounds designed to detoxify and purify the body. The Signature Detox begins with a rhassoul steam bath and includes both a Sodashi Marine Mineral Body Scrub and contouring pink clay mask, as well as a full-body massage and special scalp and feet pampering.
Architect Pierre-Yves Rochon designed Ava Spa, using natural materials and specially-designed furnishings. He also incorporated distinct features from the hotel, such as characteristic ceiling arches, tiling and stenciling.
“We’d like to draw guests’ attention to the tiling mosaics on the floor and the chandeliers,” said René Beauchamp, general manager of Four Seasons Prague. “I believe the Ava Spa will become a destination for relaxation in Prague, by both our hotel guests and locals alike. We are proud to have been able to combine such modern services and amenities with local tradition.”
