Swedish-owned Pelican Grand Resort, US, upgrades its spa
The spa at Pelican Grand Resort in Florida's Fort Lauderdale is undergoing major renovations under the wellness concept: ‘where Scandinavia meets South Florida’.
Jefast Pelican Grand, a company from Sweden, owns the 136-key property – which is part of the Noble House Hotels &
Resorts collection. The Swedish patronage of the resort is the driving force behind the Scandinavian influence at the new Pure Spa, which is located on the hotel’s 11th floor.
Set to open on 1 June, spa director George Powell-Lopez told Spa Opportunities he worked with designer Cassandra Jertshagen of Jefast to create a facility that comprises an octagonal spa suite with a panoramic view of the Atlantic ocean. It also features floor-to-ceiling windows, two treatment rooms, two outdoor spa cabanas, two ocean-view manicure/pedicure stations, locker rooms and a relaxation room. The interior spa space measures 1,515sq ft (141sq m) and the exterior spa terrace is 1,470sq ft (137sq m).
Products in use at the spa will include those by Maria Akerberg, Babor, Coola, SpaRitual, Tara Spa Products, SoyDelicious, plus luxury linen by the Madison Collection.
Other enhancements to the property during the renovations, include the addition of two ballrooms and a new penthouse. FSMY Architects and Planners are involved in the property's renovations.
In addition to beach access, lazy river and pool, the resort offers a number of dining venues.
