New treatment rooms added as part of Espace Henri Chenot revamp

Espace Henri Chenot, the destination spa created by alternative health specialist Henri Chenot at Palace Merano in northern Italy, has reopened following an extensive refurbishment.
Part of a wider multi-million euro investment in the hotel, the scheme included the addition of 24 new treatment rooms and an extension of the floorspace from 3,500sq m (37,674sq ft) to 4,000sq m (43,056sq ft).
The majority of the work has been carried out on the spa's wet area - 18 of the new rooms are dedicated to hydrotherapy and have been equipped with an adapted version of Unbescheiden's Caracalla massage bath, as well as its Jouvence dry float bed.
The baths have been altered to complement Chenot's concept of Biontology, which mixes Chinese and western medical techniques in a three-phase hydro-energetic cure comprising an underwater massage with additives, a body wrap and a jet shower session.
Starpool of Italy also supplied equipment as part of the spa refurbishment, while France-based Michel Jouannet worked on the project's design aspects. Other new facilities include a peeling room for scrubs.
