In an increasingly connected world where travelers are always “on,” Preferred Hotel Group presents more than 30 hotel spas worldwide that understand exactly what guests need to turn “off.” As spa-goers worldwide continue to shift their intentions from indulgent relaxation to essential health and wellness, these destinations provide on-trend solutions for travelers’ weariness by offering treatments that utilize centuries-old Ayurveda methods or focus on the newfound benefits of the juniper berry.

Juniper Berry

While most commonly known as the key ingredient in gin, the juniper berry is gaining in popularity at spas worldwide for its natural ability to purify skin, promote weight loss and eliminate negative energy through aromatherapy. Hotel spas within the Preferred Hotel Group family of brands that feature these antioxidant-rich blue cones on their treatment menus include:
