Beauty and The Bees

TREAT YOURSELF TO A SWEET TIME: HONEY DELIGHT TREATMENT AT FOUR SEASONS HOTEL ATLANTA
Local Ingredients Include Honey from Hotel’s Own Bee Apiary

Atlanta, GA (November 20, 2009) – This autumn The Spa at Four Seasons harnesses the power of the honey bee with the new Honey Delight Treatment. This treatment features locally-sourced oatmeal, and honey harvested from the Hotel’s very own apiary.

The Honey Delight Treatment begins with a gentle exfoliation of the skin using a mixture of honey and soothing oatmeal. The exfoliation is followed by a rejuvenating honey oil massage, and finally, a full body application of honey moisturizer leaves the skin perfectly smooth and hydrated. Post-treatment, guests will enjoy peach blossom tea sweetened with honeycomb, and honey caramel treat prepared by in the Hotel’s kitchen using Chef’s own honey.

The idea of a honey body treatment was inspired by the installation of a bee apiary on the Hotel’s fifth floor terrace by Park 75’s Executive Chef Robert Gerstenecker. Spa Director Garth Mamicpic explains, “With honey being all the ‘buzz’ at Four Seasons, this was the perfect season to invite spa-goers in to rejuvenate their skin and body after the summer’s heat.”

Honey is truly one of nature’s most gentle and effective beauty treatments. Some ‘buzz-worthy’ benefits include:
§ rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which nourish and replenish the skin
§ contains powerful anti-oxidants that help reverse aging
§ binds moisture to the skin to enhance hydration; smoothes dry and rough skin, plumps wrinkles and leaves skin soft and supple
§ helps to disinfect and speed along the healing process of any scrapes, cuts or burns

The Honey Delight Treatment is available beginning October 10, 2009 until February 1, 2010 and is priced at $140 for 50 minutes and $165 for 80 minutes. Appointments are available every day from 9 AM until 9 PM and spa guests are encouraged to take advantage of all other spa amenities including the sauna and steam room.
