Dior Institut at Plaza Athénée, Paris

Christian Dior is simply one of the premier names in fashion, and when luxury design meets spa, you get the Dior Institut at the Plaza Athénée in Paris, France. The spa’s five cabins feature white and grey linens, the colors of the House of Dior; iconic Christian Dior metal chairs; and specific lights for each stage of treatments. The SPA itself has a sauna, steam baths and fitness room, a sunken relaxation room with a tea corner and fainting sofas where guests can relax, watch fashion shows on big-screen TVs and marvel at the Patrick Ribes-designed marble floor under a glass-covered fountain, which showcases the palace initials and Murano blown-glass lamps. Treatments focus on anti-aging and beautification.
