NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2003

With St. Regis Hotels & Resorts' new menu of in-room spa treatments, guests need not leave the luxurious seclusion of their room to relieve the stress and fatigue resulting from the complexity of travel today.

Specifically intended for the harried traveler, the menu includes eight treatments designed to relax and restore inner balance, such as The Time Zone Equalizer, The After-Party Detox, Eye Zone Treatment and Massage, and The Aroma Journey/Balance Your Senses.

"Spending a considerable amount of time on planes and in airports, I personally understand the critical need for regaining balance and energy after traveling," said Atef Mankarios, CEO of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. "Hotels need to constantly adapt to the changing environment. Today more than ever before, guests look to us as true caretakers, and we need to offer new ways to make their trip less stressful and more comfortable."

To simplify the experience, the same menu and prices are offered at all St. Regis properties in North America. Guests can choose from eight spa therapies that incorporate all the senses, and turn the guest room into a serene and calming environment. Highlights of the in-room spa menu include:

Time Zone Equalizer - When body and mind are in different time

zones, this body and scalp massage with reflexology utilizes a

blend of citrus and lavender oils to refresh and revitalize,

assists in circulation and banishes the effects of jet lag.

Followed by a bath prepared with a combination of herbs salts

to detoxify and hydrate stressed skin. A CD of relaxing music

plays during the massage and is left as a gift, as well as a

bottle of water infused with vitamins and minerals.

Eye Zone Treatment/Massage - Massage with special attention to the

eye area and temples and a rejuvenating scalp massage. A

cooling eye pillow pack is utilized during the massage and a

lavender blend is infused into the massage oil to relieve

headaches and tension. A warm paraffin pack is applied to the

neck area for additional tension relief. The gel pillow pack

for the eyes and relaxing CD are left behind as a gift.

Aroma Journey/Balance Your Senses Massage - The guest's choice of

four signature aromatherapy blends is used during the massage.

A sample of the massage oil and a chosen blend are left behind

to add to a bath or use as body moisturizer. Also choose from

a selection of sensory balancing music. The CD selected is

left behind as a gift along with a bottle of water infused

with minerals and vitamins.

The After-Party Detox - De-stress in this relaxing bath ritual

with Rosemary Herbal Lave Bath. A Moor Mud Face Mask is deep

cleansing while you soak in calming Anti-Stress Oil and toxins

melt away with the scent of the aromatic travel candle. A cool

Neroli Body and Face Spritz brings rehydration and renewal.

The menu also features: Feet First, a cooling summer foot treatment with Eucalyptus; Candlelight & Roses - A Romantic Interlude, transforms the bath into a private sensuous enclave; Heads Up, Calm Down, a soothing shoulder, neck and scalp massage; and a Stress Relief/Relaxation Massage, assists circulation and ensures a restful slumber. Treatment prices range from $65.00 to $185.00, and taxes and gratuities are not included. Therapy oils, lotions and products may vary by hotel location.
