This week I'm shining the spotlight on the sleek and serene Palace Hotel Tokyo, which apart from only opening its doors a couple of months ago, has just launched an Evian spa adding some French style to the very Japanese hotel.
The Evian SPA TOKYO is the first Evian spa to open in Japan and features five treatment rooms and a spa suite (each named after a peak in the Alps), a marble sauna, heated baths, a cold plunge pool, a dry sauna, reclining baths and separate men and women's relaxation lounges.
To evoke serenity in a bustling city, the spa has views of the Imperial Palace Gardens, moats and Mt Fuji on a clear day. The spa treatments focus on 'wellness through water' with facials, body scrubs and rituals celebrating nourishment and vitality.
The swimming pool resembles a deep blue mountain pond, the reception area has a loose stone garden and the walls were designed to echo a silhouette of the Alps. In case you forget you're actually in Japan and not France, there is an origami flock of birds displayed on the spa's ceiling. The design of the spa is all about nature meeting elegant Japanese design.
In the ladies spa area, with its cedar-scented marble sauna, there are heated seats and LED light therapy technology that mirrors a 24-hour cycle of natural light in the French Alps every 10 minutes.
If you're a spa enthusiast and need an excuse to take a trip to Japan, here it is! A spa day at the hotel for guests costs 2,500 yen (£20) per day.
