MGM GRAND DETROIT INTRODUCES IMMERSE, A LAVISH SPA DESIGNED BY INTERNATIONALLY CELEBRATED TONYCHI AND ASSOCIATES
Spa Merges International Brands Including Sonya Dakar
DETROIT – At the heart of MGM MIRAGE's $800-million MGM Grand Detroit lies IMMERSE spa, a sanctuary where guests can rejuvenate and relax in a setting inspired by the powerful, calming elements of water. IMMERSE is the first U.S.-based spa for internationally acclaimed design firm tonychi and associates and the only resort-style spa in southeast Michigan. IMMERSE also is the only Detroit spa to feature the signature treatments of Sonya Dakar, the "first lady" of celebrity skin care.
"With its spectacular Tony Chi design and exclusive signature treatments by the likes of Sonya Dakar, IMMERSE has staked its claim as the foremost spa destination in the Midwest," said John Hutar, Vice President of Hotel Operations for MGM Grand Detroit. "This luxurious spa offering at MGM Grand Detroit complements our matchless amenities and accommodations to create a guest experience unlike any other."
IMMERSE, a two-level 20,000-square-foot modern-day urban loft, includes a full-service spa; six treatment bungalows (including two couples' suites) amidst a tranquil rock garden; wet room with Vichy shower; first-class salon; state-of-the-art exercise facility; spa boutique; relaxation lounges; and separate vanity areas for men and women, each featuring a whirlpool and steam room.
Conveniently located on the second floor of MGM Grand Detroit, IMMERSE delivers maximum privacy for guests as they return to their hotel rooms following treatments. Artistically, IMMERSE is modern in design with sharp, clean lines. Behind the elegant modernity are innovative design features that take guests on a sensory journey through nature: the woods (with art and artifacts evoking plants and trees), the lake (the naturally designed infinity-edge pool area) and the mountain plain (an exquisitely handcrafted rock wall at poolside).
"IMMERSE is one of the most beautifully designed and sophisticated spa complexes in the country with an innovative setting that embraces nature's most magnificent elements," said Tony Chi. "Guests will leave IMMERSE in a different frame of mind - reconnected and rejuvenated. One must come, engage and indulge to truly understand the IMMERSE mindset."
IMMERSE offers hotel guests complimentary access to the fitness and pool areas, locker room, showers, whirlpool and steam rooms. Non-guests may use facility with purchase of treatment at spa or salon, or they may purchase a day pass for $50.
