PRESS RELEASE ENHANCED WELLBEING WITH A REFRESHING, RESTORATIVE & RELAXING SUMMER AT BADRUTT’S PALACE HOTEL ST. MORITZ, May 2015 – Badrutt’s Palace Hotel offers the key to regaining a natural balance and harmony, enhancing a person’s state of wellbeing. ›Palace Wellness‹ draws on the restorative powers of the Swiss mountain flora and surrounding Engadin landscape, which has been a tradition since the 17th century. ›Palace Wellness‹ taps into the most current products and trends in beauty and systems to bring guests an enhanced state of wellbeing. The beautiful, serene décor and surroundings simply add to the effectiveness of the vast menu of head to toe treatments and therapies. Summer at Badrutt’s Palace Hotel is refreshing, relaxing and restorative. The key to wellness is re-filling what is lacking at the same time as reducing what is in excess. This fine-tuned balance leads to enhanced wellbeing. At Badrutt’s Palace Hotel it is more a case of harnessing the natural energy and beneficial qualities of what lies beyond the hotel, in its immediate surroundings - the nature of the Engadin valley. Nature and the great outdoors can offer peace & quiet as well as the perfect place for fortifying, life-giving sporting activities. There is something utterly fascinating about being able to exercise in the mountains. It is a world of rare beauty and unique in its combination of the mountains, the lake and the light. Martha Wiedemann, Wellness Advisor states, “›Palace Wellness‹ successfully marries simplicity and the ‘wow’ factor, drawing on the surrounding nature using wood and stone from the region. An extensive treatment menu is there to service the entire body as well as the mind – a complete service from head to toe.” Bringing together wood, granite and flora, calming and inspiring design throughout, organic and natural products, purifying clean mountain air and liberating wide open views and ample sunlight, ›Palace Wellness‹ is unique in its combination of all these elements, which leads to an enhanced state of wellbeing. Each of the ten treatment room bears the botanical name of a particular local Engadin Alpine flower. The Alpine Garden at the heart of the centre is the dramatic and inspirational focal point. Engadin plants and stones act as a reminder of where you are and it floods the space with fresh air, sunlight and Alpine scents. The flowers hold a greater significance – they are not only a life force from nature with Swiss mountain flora having long been used in medicinal healing, they also hold strong symbolism and magical qualities in local legends and folklore. The cover of a journal by Caspar Badrutt illustrated with floral designs, found in the hotel archive, was the inspiration for using the floral names and carvings in the wooden ceilings of the treatment rooms. In the local language, Engadin means the garden of the river Inn. The flowers referred to in ›Palace Wellness‹ are Iris, Primula, Veronica (Alpine speedwort), Paradisea (St. Bruno’s Lily), Rosa, Nigritella (ground orchid), Soldanella (Mountain Tassel) and Gentiana. Even the wellness restaurant links back to the Engadin region – ›La Diala‹ is the word for mountain fairy in the local language. Cutting edge nature-based products have been selected: Eva J products use extracts of flowers and plants, precious essential oils, pure vitamins, organic nourishing and hydrating agents adapt to individual requirements to prevent aging and to re-activate the natural skin repair process. Alpeor products present a unique alternative in the field of anti-aging. They are formulated with botanical ingredients using the potency of Swiss Alpine plants for beautifully youthful-looking skin. These plants are able to protect themselves in harsh conditions and diminish the adverse effects of time; only the most resistant survive. Two of the ›Palace Wellness‹ treatments enhancing the natural power of local region are the Wild Alps herbal wraps and the Engadin Stone Massage. Even the hairdressing products, by Vigal, are without the commonly used toxic ingredients, with an extensive menu including detox and treatments for hair and scalp. Guests can book packages focusing on wellbeing: the Trim & Tone package has been created to meet the demand for an intensive individual workout and weight loss programme. Or alternatively a more gentle package of head-to-toe beauty treatments is presented in the Total Renewal package. The perfect way to let go of all traces of the daily grind.
