The ESPA at The Europe wins Residential Spa of the Year
ESPA at The Europe Hotel, Killarney is the winner of „Residential Spa of the Year‟ at the prestigious Professional Beauty Awards held at the five-star Hilton Hotel, London last night (9/3/10). Over 550 beauty professionals gathered to recognise the best in the beauty, nails and spa industries in the UK and Ireland, organised by Professional Beauty Magazine.
The “Residential Spa of the Year‟ category was open to any hotel or residential spa in the UK and Ireland. Once nominated and shortlisted each spa was visited by a member of the magazine‟s editorial team, reporting back to the judging panel, and was also „mystery shopped‟. The Judging Panel considered a range of criteria, from customer service to commercial vision, and pro-active marketing to tailor made treatment packages.
“We are delighted to have won yet another prestigious award,” said Michael Brennan, General Manager of The Europe. “We were up against the very best in the business, at a very trying time. But fortunately, in the words of the organisers: „When the going gets tough, the tough cleanse, tone and moisturize!‟”
ESPA at The Europe Hotel and Resort was also recently awarded Best New Spa at The Irish Beauty Professional Awards 2009, and Best Spa Design at The Hotelworld Global Hospitality & Design Awards 2009. This latest award brings the tally for this stunning hotel to nine in the past year, having already received Best Overall Hotel - Hospitality Ireland Awards 2009 and Best Five Star Hotel - Hotel & Catering Review Gold Medal Awards 2009.
Opened in August 2008, the stunning three-storey, 55,000 sq ft ESPA at The Europe Hotel and Resort is uniquely situated and every aspect of the spa has been designed to provide a genuinely holistic and restorative experience. The only branded ESPA in Munster and one of the biggest in Ireland; it is the jewel in the crown of The Europe. No expense was spared to create an elegant reception with an external deck overlooking a beautiful sunken garden, sixteen treatment rooms with ritual chairs and feature showers with daylight, a VIP treatment suite with private changing facilities, couples shower, couples laconium, large infinity bath and private internal/external relaxation area, two express beauty rooms, a manicure/pedicure area, sumptuous lounge waiting area and a dark relaxation room with reclining loungers with built-in reading lights, personal headphones and juice bar.
