Hyatt to open 40,000sq ft exhale spa in Atlantic City casino resort
The first exhale spa to open since Hyatt acquired the brand last year will be in the Ocean Resort Casino, due to make its debut soon in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The 1,399-bedroom resort is part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, and will include a 40,000sq ft exhale spa with 31 treatment rooms and a 3,000sq ft bathhouse.
“We are excited to bring the full exhale wellbeing experience to Ocean Resort Casino this summer. Exhale will provide the resort and local community with a central sanctuary for transformation, rejuvenation and social connection,” said exhale founder and CEO Annbeth Eschbach. “The brand will be infused beyond the spa, gym and boutique fitness studio — it will be integrated throughout the resort’s entire 20-acre property to deliver a holistic wellbeing experience.”
Exhale previously operated a spa at the hotel when it was under different ownership, and has worked with DLDT on the exhale studio design and build-out under the Hyatt brand.
At the core of the spa will be an expansive co-ed bathhouse designed for detoxification, relaxation, and socialisation, which includes a salt grotto, heated pools, steam rooms and a bathhouse bar. The salt grotto – which includes the Halogenerator FX from Global Halotherapy Solutions – offers exhale clients the opportunity to inhale salt in the form of a dry aerosol – which makes it easier to absorb, in order to help clients breath better and reduce stress.
A Bathhouse Detox Therapy will be offered, which includes a head-to-toe body wash followed by two-step exfoliation – including an organic aromatherapy scrub – while relaxing on heated benches, and ending with an aromatherapy mist.
The spa will also offer a one-hour vichy renewal therapy using lemon sugar body polish, a papaya enzyme envelopment, and a massage.
The spa’s fitness centre will be stocked with state-of-the-art equipment, and an exhale boutique fitness studio will feature exhale’s barre, cardio, HIIT, yoga, and floating meditation classes.
The fitness studio will be adjacent to an expansive wellbeing lifestyle boutique that will feature the latest fitness apparel, skin and body products, wellness gifts, sunglasses and lifestyle products.
“Guests of Ocean Resort Casino will be able to easily maintain their commitment to mind and body transformation without leaving the resort,” said Marc Ellin, global head of Miraval Group and exhale enterprises. “We’re excited to be a part of the Hyatt portfolio and grow the exhale experience in the first exhale location within a Hyatt-affiliated hotel, while continuing to offer wellbeing programming and services in new ways.”
Hyatt acquired the exhale brand in August, 2017, as part of its strategy to engage with high-end travellers beyond traditional hotel stays and to further complement its existing wellbeing offerings and the mindfulness experiences of Miraval. Exhale operates as a standalone brand within Hyatt’s portfolio.
