Millimetre Design create new spa for Johnstown Estate in Ireland
– Anthony Smiddy
Luxury Irish spa resort, The Johnstown Estate, in County Meath, has invested €3.5m (US$4.13m, £3.18m) in creating a new spa nearly twice the size of its previous facility, scheduled to launch early November 2020.
The overhaul was conceived by Millimetre Design, the interior design and branding studio which created Johnstown’s Fire & Salt Restaurant, Coach House Brasserie, The Atrium and many of the other spaces at the 167-key Johnstown Estate.
Located in an original 18th-century Georgian Residence, the existing spa has been completely remodelled and expanded, now covering approximately 1,300sq m with a outdoor rooftop experience and thermal suite, plus 15 treatment rooms including a Rasul, mineral treatment bath and couples’ treatment room.
The rooftop experience will include a hydrotherapy pool, hot tub, outdoor showers, heated pergola lounge and relaxation area, plus a sun deck.
The spa’s new thermal suite will offer guests the opportunity to experience a Kneipp path, salt grotto, experience showers, a Quiet Room with heated water beds, steamroom, sauna and relaxation area.
The overhaul has also added a 48-seat in-spa restaurant to the destination.
“Our investment in the spa at The Johnstown Estate is a clear commitment to Irish tourism and our belief that COVID-19 will pass in time,” said Anthony Smiddy, GM at The Johnstown Estate.
