Hyatt Resorts' three Hawaiian properties ranked in the Top 10 Hotel Spas in Hawaii with Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa ranked third, Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa ranked fifth and Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa ranked tenth. Hyatt had more properties on the top 10 Hawaiian spas list than any other hotel chain. All three resorts offer distinctive treatments rooted in the Hawaiian culture including the
Kaanapali Salt Glow offered at Spa Moana at the Hyatt Regency Maui and the lomi-lomi massage offered at the Na Ho'ola Spa at Hyatt Regency Waikiki. To further
enhance the guest experience the ANARA spa at the Grand Hyatt Kauai will complete renovations in early 2007.
Tamaya Mist at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa, located in Santa Ana Pueblo, was the only property in the state of New Mexico to make the top 25 hotel spas in the U.S. This unique spa offers a calming and rejuvenating menu of services based in the traditions of the Tamayame, including Ancient Drumming where guests are massaged with mud and chilis from a local mountain and the therapist drums to help alleviate stress.
Park Hyatt Toronto was honored as one of the top five hotel spas in this year's poll. In conjunction with
Travel + Leisure, the spa will offer a special for readers entitling them to a complimentary Stillwater Relax Kit – a stress-relief scalp treatment, aromatherapy candle, bath salts, body cream, and relaxation tips – for magazine readers who book a 60-minute Stillwater Do Cho Massage during the month of October.
I.Sawan Residential Spa & Club at the Grand Hyatt Erawan, Bangkok was named to the Ten to Watch list. I.Sawan brings to life the unique residential spa philosophy, pioneered by Hyatt International, where guestrooms double as spa suites, thus eliminating the need for guests to move from room to room between treatments while providing an unparalleled level of privacy. The properties named to this list are new properties chosen by the editors of the magazine that they expect to see on the list in the future.
Travel + Leisure magazine's annual World's Best Spa readers' poll appears in the October issue of the magazine and is currently on newsstands. In order to be eligible for the World's Best Awards, spas must receive not only high marks but also a minimum number of reader evaluations.
