Waldorf Astoria Hotels&Resorts has teamed up with Italy’s global luxury bedding brand Frette to introduce a serene wellness journey, Sleep Sanctuary, across spas in Greater China in bid to offer guests deep restoration, comfort and calm at the heart of modern luxury.
Spa locations across the region include Shanghai on the Bund, Beijing, Chengdu, Xiamen, and the soon-to-be launched Shanghai Qiantan, this bespoke experience will invite guests to surrender to profound relaxation, wrapped in the world’s finest linens by Frette.
The initiative marks the first time Frette is involved in a spa program.
The ritual begins with a warm, caffeine-free herbal infusion to quiet the mind, preparing the body for a deeper state of rest. At its core is a 90-minute Aromatherapy Sleep Ritual, thoughtfully designed to melt tension, calm the nervous system, and guide guests toward effortless, restorative sleep.
Gentle applications of warm essential oils along the spine and shoulders, combined with focused scalp and neck techniques, promote true stillness – allowing body and mind to soften, surrender, and reset.
Spa suites are transformed into havens of repose, dressed in Frette, complemented by plush robes and slippers, a reflection of Frette’s legendary craftsmanship and Waldorf Astoria’s devotion to timeless comfort. The air is gently scented with a bespoke blend of lavender, vetiver, and frankincense, while curated soundscapes—from soft nature tones to resonant Himalayan singing bowls—invite the senses to retreat inward.
A refreshing tonic drink, served after the ritual, sustains the feeling of balance and renewal, allowing guests to carry the sense of calm with them long after they leave. Whether continuing their day or drifting into sleep, guests emerge feeling not only relaxed, but profoundly restored: as if wrapped in a second skin of serenity.
“This experience is designed to nurture genuine rest, something that has become increasingly elusive and precious,” said Brian Tong, area general manager, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Greater China.
“Our collaboration with Frette enables us to express that intention through all senses, so that guests depart not just relaxed, but also deeply renewed,” added him.
