Sofitel Luxury Hotels have chosen the symbolic date of July 14 – Bastille Day in France – to launch their new So SPA by Sofitel concept in London and Marseille.

Sofitel has gone for the option of open spaces to create areas of conviviality and exchange.

Therapy at So Spa by Sofitel is presented in a way similar to the menu of a French gourmet restaurant, another area of Sofitel-style excellence. Les Entrées (Starters), lasting 30 minutes, are designed for busy urbanites looking for rest and relaxation after a busy day.

Les Plats Principaux (Main Courses) and Les Desserts take an hour and feature body massages, facials, hot-stone massages and other delights intended to nourish the body and soul.

So SPA by Sofitel has also designed its own range of therapy products, So Exhilarating and So Rejuvenating, exclusive treatments enhanced by Sofitel music played on So SPA iPods to create a unique experience.

All the massage tables boast a version of the celebrated Sofitel MyBed, featured in all Sofitel Luxury Hotels and now converted for spa therapy for optimal comfort and perfect relaxation.
