Refurbishment completed as La Prairie’s Diamond Luxury comes to Sydney.


The Day Spa at The Observatory Hotel has recently undergone some pampering of its own. One of the first five star hotels in Sydney to house a Day Spa when the hotel first opened in 1993, The Observatory’s Day Spa is a highly sought after haven of relaxation, renowned for its subterranean pool with sparkling night sky, a continuation of the star gazing theme that runs throughout the hotel. 

A total body wellness centre, the latest renovations have been both to upgrade and expand the Day Spa. Four new state of the art treatment rooms have now been opened, taking the total number of rooms from six to ten, including a treatment room for couples. Each of the new rooms have individual showers and mood lighting offering colour therapy for the soul. Part of the refurbishment has also been to upgrade the men’s and women’s change room areas, giving a face lift to the steam room, sauna and showers. 

Director of the Day Spa, Tania Specht is thrilled with the renovations and the new products now available on the Day Spa’s menu. “We spent a year trialing various products and chose La Prairie, for the amazing results they offer.”

One of the world’s most exclusive beauty products, La Prairie prides itself on an unparalleled commitment to excellence, luxury and the science of skincare. The ultimate in indulgence, La Prairie’s signature treatments include the Caviar Firming Facial, in which a mask of caviar pearls transforms dull complexions into radiant, luminous skin and the Diamond Body Perfection treatment, involving a full body micro dermabrasion of diamonds, pearls and gold, followed by a luxurious application of skin caviar luxe body cream, resulting in beautiful soft glowing skin. 

For a complete indulgence in true five star style, request ‘Diamond Luxury’, the Day Spa’s most glamorous package. Beginning with breakfast in Galileo Restaurant, followed by the Diamond Body Perfection treatment, the La Prairie Facial of your choice, pampering for your hands and feet and a two course Spa Cuisine lunch, this is an all day affair, valued at $670. 

For guests arriving straight from the airport, the Day Spa has also introduced a new Flight Reviver menu to assist weary travellers overcome jetlag. Treatments include a Flight Reviver massage, incorporating the use of aromatherapy oils to revive sluggish circulation and to stimulate the lymphatic system. A kinesiology treatment (to help correct the body clock to the current time zone) reflexology (to rebalance the mind and body) and ear candling (to clear the sinuses) are also available. 

Li’Tya and Dermalogica treatments remain on the Day Spa Menu, offering a range of classic facials, men’s treatments and spa care treatments based on ancient aboriginal healing traditions.
