Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead has announced a new spa concept, which features a menu of new signature treatments and a collection of partnerships with luxury brands like Knesko and Deborah Lippman, according to an article on FTN News.

Atlanta is known for being a “city in the forest,” and fittingly, the new spa program invites guests to discover a transformative wellness experience while enjoying pampering from new acclaimed luxury partners.

The spa’s new treatments are aimed toward encouraging guests to live life to the fullest and focus on being present. These treatments invite guests to forge a deeper connection with themselves and their surroundings.

New treatments available at the Waldorf Astoria Spa include:

  • The Forest Therapy experience
      • This treatment utilizes an essential oil blend of evergreen, pink pepper, cypress and juniper—from Aromatherapy Associates, which is one of the spa’s partners—for a tension relieving massage. Following the massage, guests receive a mud, as well as a scalp massage. Proceeds from this treatment will be donated to Trees Atlanta, an organization working to address Atlanta’s tree loss, protect its forests and create new green space.
  • A Walk in the Woods
      • This full-body treatment offers a personalized journey to discover and address one's specific needs by combining massage techniques to the desired pressure and body therapies that can include warm stones, exfoliated sea salts and aromatherapy oils.
