Shea the Spa
Located in the Renaissance Race Course Hotel, Bangalore, Shea Spa is designed as a perfect relaxation zone from the chaos of the IT city. Drawing inspiration from the green city and the client’s requirement of a lavish space that relaxes the clients with its services, the design is devised with a warm and welcoming persona. Taking advantage of the huge window length along the east and west of the site, the 6000sft layout is designed to encapsulate the green vistas of Bangalore.
The salon space is sandwiched between the quiet private therapy rooms and the wet area of the spa. Rooms Division Manager Utsah Sehgal helped me find my way to this spa and on entering, it was a delight to observe a raw uncut Gwalior stone finished wall complementing the pungent dark wood, metal and fabric light fixtures and the greenery of the views.
Light and colour play in the design elaborates the design vocabulary by perfectly balancing the luxury and user experience. Natural light is channeled into each room. Lighting fixtures are customised of metal and fabric to enhance the material palette of the design. Dark wood panels that offset the textured Gwalior stone panels, break the monotony of the warm palette.
This spa is a symphony fabricated of warmth, a brilliant material composition and palpable spatial designing. While I was a guest at the hotel, I visited this beautifully designed spa for a massage and a facial on invite by Neeru Radhakrishnan and felt immensely relaxed and rejuvenated. The salon has efficient stylists and I got my hair coloured by a senior stylist. The therapists and stylists are warm and friendly and make you feel good the moment you step into this beautiful spa.
Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel is a unique property and is designed keeping in mind the brand’s global commitment to design. Definitely worth several visits!
