Spa Four Seasons Montreal Earns Forbes Travel Guide 2020 Five-Star Award in its Inaugural Year

- Only spa in Montreal, Quebec, and one of only two in Canada to obtain the recognition

- The award places the Montreal spa among an elite of 85 Five-Star luxury spas worldwide

- First Canadian spa to earn the accolade in its opening year

MONTREAL, Feb. 13, 2020 /CNW/ -- Spa Four Seasons Montreal, located inside the new Four Seasons Hôtel Montréal, has been awarded the Forbes Travel Guide 2020 Five-Star Award in its inaugural year. The spa is the only one in Montreal, Quebec, and one of only two spas in Canada, to obtain Forbes Travel Guide's highest rating. The Award places Spa Four Seasons Montreal in the top 4% of the world's best spas with only 85 Five-Star recognized establishments out of 1898 properties evaluated worldwide.

Spa Four Seasons Montreal has earned an unmatched reputation for intuitive hospitality, expertise, guest recognition, and personalized service with a caring, human touch. Located in the heart of downtown's bustling Golden Square Mile, the spa is an exclusive and intimate haven, where every detail has been conceived to help guests disconnect, de-stress, and be transported into a world of peace and serenity. Its customized treatments stand out for their level of refinement and their use of exclusive products by local and international labels. They include the only Kneipp Hydrotherapy facility with a stone path in Canada, a treatment originally developed as a water cure in the 19^th century by German monk, Sebastien Kneipp, involving a natural reflexology walk over polished stones to massage acupressure points on the foot, and an interplay of hot and cold water on the skin.

"We are extremely proud to receive this prestigious Award in our opening year. A mere 1% of Forbes Travel Guide rated spas can attest to being a new Five-Star entry in 2020," stated David Wilkie, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Montreal. "The achievement is a remarkable testament to the dedication and exceptional level of service provided by our team to Four Seasons travellers and Montrealers alike. We are delighted that this recognition will contribute to Montreal's emergence and growth as a global luxury destination."

Designed with the lifestyle of its discerning guests in mind, Spa Four Seasons Montreal is a cocoon of wellbeing. Its eight luxurious treatment rooms showcase raffia walls and whitewashed wood panels and a VIP suite for couples with its own private entrance. Soothing soft colors, organic materials, oasis waterfalls, and beckoning furniture enrich its main environment. Its distinct pre and post-treatments areas include an interior sky-lit swimming pool and a modern steam room and sauna space.
