JW Marriott Austin Opens Spa by JW

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The JW Marriott Austin is pleased to announce the upcoming opening of Spa by JW; debuting September 19.   Created to demystify and reimagine the spa experience, the JW Marriott brand's new concept offers guests an intuitive experience that is luxurious yet purposeful with treatments and products designed to address four core benefit states: Calm, Indulge, Invigorate, and Renew.   The spa will feature nine treatment rooms and will offer a variety of experiences including massages, nail treatments, Express Spa Suites, and HydraFacial services. The JW Marriott Austin and the new Spa by JW are managed by White Lodging Services.

This will be the third Spa by JW globally and second in Texas – coming on the heels of openings at JW Marriott Houston Downtown and JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, India.

"Our guests are incredibly passionate about well-being but they don't always have the time to invest in cultivating it.  They are looking for an experience that delivers true impact and results that are tailored to their state of mind," said Mitzi Gaskins, VP, Global Brand Management and Guest Experience for Marriott Hotels & Resorts.  "Spa by JW offers an environment where you can choose exactly what you want, when you want, without any of the intimidation or hassle."

Guests will be greeted at the Curator's Desk to explore all of the treatment options from full-service to express spa treatments.  Developed in collaboration with JW Marriott brand partner and spa industry leader Aromatherapy Associates, all treatments are designed with the essential benefit states in mind:

• Calm – Allows guests to reset when out-of-sync, offering a moment of serenity and a chance to slow down time to restore balance.  Sample services include a 15-minute tense shoulders massage or the full 50 minute "Sleep Deeply" treatment.
• Indulge – Provides nourishment for the soul and a way for guests to pamper themselves through a range of therapeutic treatments that reward and rejuvenate.  Sample services include an "Ultimate Aromatherapy" massage or the "Firming & Brightening" facial.
• Invigorate – Enlivens the body and clarifies the mind, wiping away the stresses of everyday life and replacing it with energy and vitality.  Sample services include a "Jet Lag Cure" or "Energy Boost" express massage.
• Renew – Purifies the mind and body so guests feel more centered, re-focusing and instilling a sense of spiritual rebirth.  Sample services include an "Intense Muscle Relief" or a "Skinceuticals  Rejuvenation" facial.

Designed for guests who do not have the luxury of time, Spa by JW express treatments provide on-demand services that start at a 12-minute entry point and are bookable without an appointment.  Guests can experience the innovative express spa suites, designed around a state-of-the-art massage chair, exclusive to JW Marriott, featuring embedded scent infusers, noise canceling technology, and cell phone charging stations.  Treatments include a variety of 12- to 25-minute services like the Relaxing Scalp Massage (Calm), Hydrating Hands (Indulge), Energy Boost Massage (Invigorate), Nail Shine (Renew), and more.  

For those who find themselves with a little more time on their hands, a variety of treatment rooms accommodate longer, full-service spa services.  Guests can book 50- or 80-minute massages, cleansing facials, nail services and more.   Offerings specific to Spa by JW Austin include local treatments inspired by Austin's unique culture and locale. Enjoy a bourbon brown sugar scrub down followed by a hydrating honey glaze when you book our Bourbon Cowgirl/Cowboy Pedicure, and indulge yourself with a Bourbon Cocktail during your treatment.   Eliminate stress with our Agave Nectar Massage on the Rocks.  Featuring a hot stone massage and an Agave Nectar craft cocktail to enjoy following your massage, this treatment will leave you feeling invigorated and stress free.
