Online, May 28, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Set against the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh castle, this perfectly placed hotel has for many years offered guests luxury accommodation but now a new Guerlain branded spa is set to offer guests a little something extra.

Enter the world of the Guerlain beauty spa, using cutting edge treatments and indulgent amenities, the spa will also be using the perfume house's luxury products.

Spa experiences are set to included 'Transforming' full and half day spa sessions. These will include personalised facial and body therapies, make up sessions and reflexology. There will also be signature Chinese massage and aesthetic drainage treatments available.

The on-site spa facilities will also include three treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, Jacuzzi, swimming pool and a 24-hour gym equipped with the latest state of the art gym facilities and machines. Expert staff will be on hand to offer advice and treatments too.

Gift packages and spa break deals include a 'Spa and Sparkle' package that includes an indulgent afternoon tea with exclusive use of the spa and wellbeing facilities. The package also includes a manicure in style from the celebrities favourite Leighton Denny, followed by Champagne afternoon tea in the iconic Peacock Alley in the hotel.

Louise Moore, director of operations and development at the spa said: 'Founded in 1828, Guerlain's history runs parallel with the history of skincare; it is this expertise and the established, sophisticated connotations of the brand that we felt had a natural synergy with the intrinsic elegance of Waldorf Astoria Hotels. Each treatment is transformed into a unique and personal occasion by highly skilled beauty therapists who will provide guests with a bespoke and boutique experience that will really reflect the spa's essence.'

Guerlain is one of the world's oldest perfume houses, opening in 1828. It opened its first 'Institut de Beaute' on the Champs Elysees in 1939 and has been pioneering facial massage, with its techniques remaining the same for decades. It is synonymous with beauty treatment and the Parisian lifestyle. Since its creation it has drawn inspiration from nature and its many wonders to formulate its excellent skincare range. Its extensive research and unique expertise means only the very best natural ingredients make it into their products.
