Le Royal Monceau turns into a ski resort

December 8, 2017

What about enjoying the snow and its freezy atmosphere without even having to leave Paris?
This Christmas, the patio of Le Royal Monceau turned into a real ski resort, Val Monceau!

From November 23rd, guests are invited to sit comfortably in one of the gondolas placed on the central terrace covered by snow. Or cosy up on your Paris Babymoon in one of the wood cabins embellished with warm fur throws.

At Val Monceau, you will also be able to take a break and enjoy a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Well, not pregnant mum, maybe next year, this one is just for dad to be!
This cuvée will perfectly match with one of the three unique signature cocktails imagined by the Chef Barman of the hotel Nicola Battafarano :

the « Monceau Madness » very tasty, with chocolate and vanilla flavours
the « Monceau Lake » with fruity notes
the « Monceau Alps » with honey sweet touches

Foodies will have the difficult task to choose between truffle hotdogs, smoked salmon waffles or the « Adorables » macarons from Pierre Hermé aromatized with foie gras, white truffle or caviar!

Last but not least, Maison Fusalp, the winter clothes specialist, will bring the final Alpine touch to this ephemeral ski resort. A collection of its unique Sport-Chic pieces, both technical and aesthetics, will be available to guests!

We love the ‘My Bump and I Spa Menu’ with an absolutely perfect selection of pregnancy spa treatments. All fatigue reducing, super sumptuous products and safe, comforting pregnancy massage and treatments.

PREGNANCY SPA TREATMENTS AT WEAVERS’ HOUSE SPA

basq TLC FOR MUM TO BE

A complete head to toe spa experience that focuses on the head, bump and lower legs.
90 Minutes | £110

We begin with a relaxing head, neck and shoulder massage to release tension and congestion. We then move to the bump, where gentle dry brushing increases circulation, and a gentle exfoliation removes dead dull cells which improves the tone and elasticity of the skin. This is followed by an application of our luxurious basq Resilient Body Oil and basq Mega Moisture Butter on the skin to help prevent stretch marks. Whilst the cream and oil absorb into the skin, the lower legs are massaged to assist circulation and reduce swelling and heaviness in the legs.

Next, the tummy is treated to a layering of our wonderful stretch mark oils and butter, which combine to replenish deep down while also soothing itchy skin. While we allow these to absorb into the skin, the lower legs are massaged to assist circulation and reduce swelling and heaviness in the legs.
