The buzz: A luxurious retreat for those seeking peace and tranquility, Rosewood’s signature spa offers sumptuous treatments that draw from ancient Thai beauty rituals, alongside to-die-for skincare services from posh French beauty lines EviDenS de Beaute and Maison Caulieres. At these prices, you can expect to pamper yourself silly.  

The decor: While Sense Spa might go in for the same “ancient Thai beauty rituals” and “lost remedies” as nearly all high-end Bangkok wellness joints, they do so without resorting to a neo-Ayutthaya-meets-faux-colonial decorative snooze-fest. Walls sculpted in sand dune-like waves and lavish marble floors rippled in more veins than a bikini competitor set the scene for luxurious treatments. Rattan-inspired patterns mixed with pops of turquoise blue and emerald green add to modern, minimal vibe. In addition to the five treatment rooms, the spa also features an in-house nail bar, hair salon and a lounge to unwind. Ask nicely and they’ll let you use the hotel’s ninth floor pool and sauna, too.
