I arrived after a long flight and train ride to Rome and couldn't be more excited for my spa experience at Jumeirah Grand Hotel Via Veneto's Aqva City Spa. It is truly a beautiful and futuristic experience. The hotel lobby is very elegant, classic, and modern. There is a beautiful area to lounge and a bar/restaurant near the entrance. From a first impression, everything was very sleek and modern. We are greeted and taken to the Aqva City Spa on a different level to 500 square meters of luxurious relaxation. The spa is a clean white marbled facility with high technology and beautiful lighting. The Facilities has a separate Locker room for Men and Women each with lockers, bathrooms, and showers. I was provided a comfortable bathrobe and slippers to change into before my facial. Throughout the hotel lobby and the spa, you will notice they are very well known for the exclusive "Sisley" products from Paris.
The spa facility has six beautiful mahogany treatment cabins that are beautifully dimmed with colored lighting. I was blown away by the technology they had in each room as each has an ergonomic heated bed, polychrome marble showers, and one even has a private hammam. There is one room for body scrubbing and is possibly the most professional and high- tech bed for it. The showers even has a touch screen in there, it had a very Tron feel. The Gym has possibly the most advanced equipment I've seen. All the equipment for cardio machines and different weight machines with different set of dumbbells. However, this is not any ordinary gym - the machines can count how many sets/reps you do and even has a measurement of how far your rep goes in 0%-100%. There is even a kinesis personal heritage that helps with resistance, balance, strength and flexibility.
Sisley Hydrating Facial
After the tour, I started off with my facial and received the Sisley hydration treatment. The room was at perfect temperature and my facialist was very professional from the start. She explained to me the product line "Sisley" and you will see all the products lined out. She cleansed, exfoliated, put on a mask, and massaged all the while using Sisley's high-end products. She put multiple different serums and creams on top. The whole process was very relaxing and my face looked and felt so rejuvenated and hydrated. It was just what I needed which was perfect after flying for so long and my skin was feeling dry. Afterwards, I went on to enjoy the rest of the facilities.
Aqva City Spa has a futuristic vichy shower, vitality pool and hydro-massage. If you've never experienced a hydro-massage, it's a must. Think of it as an upgraded version of a hot tub, you lay down and let the water jets massage your entire body. There is also a hammam and sauna room nearby and it is the perfect way to sweat all your detoxes out. Be sure to drink enough water before and after! Right next to the hamman is a beautiful color changing sensory shower, perfect photo-op! You can relax on the chaises lounge and enjoyed complimentary tea and fruit. You can even listen to a playlist of music on each bed. I could lounge seriously around all day going back and forth from the hydromassage to the sauana/hammam rooms.
Overall, a very relaxing and experience at Aqva Spa. Due to our lost luggage, I didn't have a swimsuit available on hand for their spa. They were very kind to provide a cute disposable swimsuit for the two of us. Now go get your pampering on at Jumeirah Hotel, you will be blown away from its warm and tranquil environment filled with high technology machines and products. Truly the best way to start off your vacation! read more
