Traditional Latvian pirts, local mud therapy to feature at upcoming Kempinski Riga
Global spa management company Resense will manage a 1,000sq m (10,764sq ft) spa at the upcoming Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga in Latvia, due to open in Q3 of this year.
The spa will have six treatment rooms in total, including four single, one double and one VIP suite, as well as a heat bathing area with a sauna, bio sauna, aroma steam room, rasul mud room, cold plunge pool, experience showers, ice fountain and heated bench with footbaths.
It will also include a unique VIP ‘Pirts treatment suite’ modeled on the traditional Latvian bathhouse experience, which involves being swatted with birch branches while in the heat of the sauna in order to encourage circulation.
The rasul mud room will use local Latvian muds, renowned for their healing properties, as well as additional muds from around the world. A relaxation beauty lounge with nail bar will let guests relax, socialise and be pampered, and a fitness room will feature state-of-the-art equipment from LifeFitness. The spa will include bespoke furniture from Gharieni, as well as Gharieni's MLW series spa tables and RLX series loungers.
Originally built in the 19th century, the 141-bedroom Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga is being reimagined by London-based Alex Kravetz Design, and is Kempinski’s first hotel in Latvia, as well as the first international five-star luxury hotel in the city.
