The Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa Announces the Opening of Its New full Service Spa

Lexington, KY (PRWEB) June 15, 2007 -- After six months of construction the highly anticipated $1.7 million, 7,000 square foot, full-service spa at Marriott's Griffin Gate Resort & Spa in Lexington officially opened its doors. This is the first and only hotel with a full service spa in Lexington, KY.

The Spa at Griffin Gate has seven treatment rooms, including one full wet massage room, a secluded manicure and pedicure area; a relaxation room for guests' use before and after spa services, and luxurious changing and shower rooms.

Guests at this Kentucky spa resort and the general public are welcome to enjoy a myriad of healthful and soothing spa treatments such as body wraps, facials, steam room, salon services and customized treatments. Special bridal packages and spa treatments for men are also offered.

"With so many people interested in health and wellness -- or just a little pampering -- we are thrilled to have this wonderful new addition at the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa," said Mark Jeffrey, General Manager for the Kentucky resort. "The new spa not only offers our guests and local residents a great retreat, but meeting planners now have more leisure options for attendees that can help relieve stress and benefit them even after the conference is over."

The Spa at Griffin Gate uses two spa product lines, Kerstin Florian and June Jacobs. Kerstin Florian develops and manufactures a progressive range of European facial, body, bath and spa treatments, while June Jacobs' product line is an elegant collection based on botanical derived extracts.

The signature treatment of The Spa at Griffin Gate is the Bluegrass Wrap, a 50-minute nurturing and stimulating herbal wrap steeped in the healing power of locally sourced herbs. This treatment starts with a light herbal massage to smooth and soften the skin, followed by a detoxifying wrap, and also includes a scalp, hand and foot massage. Another special treatment is The Wildflower Body Renewal, a 50-minute gentle full-body exfoliation that softens the skin. A pressure point scalp and foot massage is also included with this treatment. Both of these luxurious services are priced at $90.

For individuals looking to indulge in a Lexington spa getaway, two pampering packages are available:

•    Indulge Escape! Spa Package -- includes deluxe accommodations and breakfast for two, along with $100 credit toward spa services.
•    Treat Yourself Escape! Spa Package an aromatherapy massage or the Wildflower Body Renewal treatment.

Hours of The Spa at Griffin Gate are 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. All spa clients receive valet parking and use of the hotel's indoor/outdoor pool and fitness center. To schedule an appointment, call (859) 288-6101.

In addition to the new full service spa, the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa has made other newly renovated enhancements to the property. Meeting space has been increased to a total of 21,000 square feet of flexible event space -- the most of any hotel in Lexington -- with the addition of the Terrace Atrium and the Terrace Ballroom. These two new meeting venues feature windows and French doors overlooking the resort grounds. The Kentucky spa resort has also added the Paddock tent, offering an outdoor venue for up to 550 people, perfect for receptions, dinners and weddings.

Other upgrades include all new fitness center equipment; a new JW's Restaurant concept, which transitions from a casual breakfast spot to a place for a leisurely lunch to a fine dining destination; a new Starbucks and a new gift shop.
