Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts is set to open a new urban day spa at its Frankfurter Hof hotel at the start of 2013.

Facilities include an extensive sauna area, a hammam and ice fountain. Traditional massages and body peels will be on offer in the scrub room, as well as hydro-massage showers.

Each guest will be offered a tailored service, with a spa concierge on hand to give detailed advice on drawing up personal treatment plans.

Men are not left out of the action, with a special zone inspired by 1920s barber’s salon, offering wet shaves, hair care, facials and manicures.

The spa will be operated by Bangkok-based GOCO Hospitality, which helped define the concept. The interior design was developed by Peter Silling & Associates and features a timeless elegance, with warm shades of cream and brown, and dark-coloured woods.
