WTS lined up to design Trump spa offering and manage LEED-certified resort
Spa, lifestyle and consultancy firm WTS International has been appointed to manage the spa and fitness facility for the first LEED-certified building in South Florida, and design a new spa concept for Donald Trump’s line of hotels.
Of the latter, WTS has provided design consultation for the Trump International Hotel Washington DC, and Trump International Hotel & Tower in Vancouver.
The projects are two of several WTS has in the pipeline for 2017.
WTS has also been selected to operate the spa facilities in the Oceana Bal Harbour condominium in Florida – the first development in the area to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for sustainability.
Elsewhere, WTS has designed the spa concept for the MGM National Harbour resort in Maryland, which features a full-service spa and salon, men’s barber lounge and fitness centre.
The firm will also handle the pre-opening and ongoing management of the development.
Verdure – a luxury wellness facility in Amarillo, Texas – will open in 2017. The operational feasibility, interior design review, equipment sourcing and layout was devised by WTS.
WTS also looked after the pre-opening services such as finance reviews, staffing, training, programme development and management.
The work builds on a “record” 2016 for WTS, which saw the delivery of 80 design projects and 22 new spa, wellness, fitness and corporate fitness openings around the world.
“Last year we exceeded all our own expectations in terms of design, performance and operations, and the 2017 project pipeline is looking even more robust,” said WTS chief operating officer Frank Guengerich.
