The Ritz-Carlton Vienna Spa offers personal training with a unique add-on – it can be held on the hotel’s atmospheric rooftop. A perfect chance to experience an atmospheric surrounding and get a personalized training plan that will help you get your body in shape before the holidays are coming……. Christian, my trainer, created a training circle for me that respects my personal needs and restrictions – performed on the roof with a 360° view of many of Vienna’s most spectacular buildings…….a truly unforgettable experience!!
2 Detox Delight
Detox is a super trendy key to enhancing well-being and beauty – at least I was told so by my wife!…… when I told her that the Ritz-Carlton Vienna Spa offers detox products “Detox Delight” she almost forced me to give them a try…Well, I did! The detailed consultation about the secrets of detoxing made me decide on the quick fix cleansing – 3 ready-to-use boxes for 3 days, containing the complete daily requirement of coordinated drinks. Yes, it is hard to only drink juices – but after a while feeling hungry is replaced by a feeling of lightness and ease …overall a perfect addition on your way to a 6-pack!!!
3 Manicure and Pedicure
Being active in business for men also means showing a perfectly groomed look – hands and nails in the front row! Beach holidays mean showing off your feet as well, it is the perfect time to additionally care for your feet – so lean back and enjoy a relaxing manicure and pedicure in the elegant and stylish atmosphere of the Ritz-Carlton Vienna Spa!
4 Pre- and post-holiday hair care
Believe or not – Hair care for men is important, especially when it is washed daily and exposed to the sun – factors that can cause damage and dryness. Try the hair conditioning treatment – a mask for the hair that moisturizes deep down and builds up tonicity. I booked one before the holidays and an additional one after returning….
5 Facial treatments
When it comes to the beauty business, facial treatments are usually not among men’s priorities – although they definitely should be! I savored a 90-minute treatment including a complex cleansing procedure in various steps like peeling and tonic, a deep-down penetrating mask – the description I was given – and moisturizing cream for the face and eyes. All products used were men-specific, which – according to the advice Petra from the Ritz-Carlton Spa gave – is of substantial importance. Truly important: The skin looks and feels fresh and energized after the treatment – most reasonable for booking it again!
