HO T SPA REVIEW HOT MAGAZINE RECOMMEND The Spa @ Hilton I have visited the The Spa, the in-house Spa of Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa before but I was excited to see what was new with their treatment menu. The Spa is set up conveniently just a short staircase from the lobby and has a distinctively different feel to the rest of the hotel. Whereas the hotel is modern with Asian touches The Spa is very Thai in design as the design brief was to use ancient Khmer architecture as an influence. The Spa features wooden floors, décor items that evoke Thai tradition with burst of color in pillows and decorative items. The Spa has ten luxurious treatment rooms set in a tranquil corridor and all rooms have traditional doors. The rooms follow the theme from the lobby but the views towards the pool and the beach are modern Hua Hin. This makes for a very nice setting for a treat for yourself, relaxing you even before the treatment has even started. 50 Dec 15 - Jan 15 , 2015 The Spa offers a complete spa experience, from modern Western therapies to traditional Asian treatments. They offer traditional treatments such as scrubs but bring it to another level by allowing you to choose your own scrub blends. As for massages they can be customized too, by allowing the guest to chose the time and type of massage suited for each individual. Modern treatments include world famous Guinot facials and more traditional treatments can be found in their Signatures packages featuring massages, scrubs etc. For me, after a consultation the treatment chosen was the Coffee scrub 60 minutes and aromatic massage 60 minutes. My treatment room followed the same design element as the main areas with Thai artifacts and warm yet comfy luxurious fabrics
