Hotel Saranac Introduces Ampersand, a Luxury Spa, Salon and Fitness Center
INDOOR LUXURY FOR THE OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. - The renovated Hotel Saranac will be a social hub for the residents of Saranac Lake and an elegant base for visitors exploring the Adirondacks. That's what makes Ampersand, the hotel's newly introduced spa, so fitting.
Roedel Companies have partnered with WTS International to create a full service spa, salon and fitness center that will pamper guests staying at the Hotel Saranac as well as residents of the village. Whether it is getting a pedicure/manicure, a full body massage or a haircut in the barber's chair, Ampersand's amenities are just right for everything from a special occasion to the daily lifestyles of people in the region.
Ampersand takes its name from the nearby mountain popular with hikers, and its decor reflects that spirit of exploring the Adirondacks. The signature scents and treatments will include indigenous ingredients - pine, birch, maple - and reflect the true outdoor flavor of the region.
Mary Pilch, marketing and communications manager for WTS International explained that Ampersand will be located within the historic retail arcade that makes up the hotel's ground floor. “Upon completion, there will be a rustic elegance to the spa,” says Pilch. “It's very much about the outdoor enthusiast. Ampersand is meant to be a place to recharge and renew for the next day's adventure.”
WTS International has over four decades of experience providing consulting and management services for over 300 spas, fitness/wellness centers, and leisure and lifestyle facilities worldwide.
From aroma therapy to skin treatments to full hair and makeup, Ampersand will be a place for people to come and feel revitalized. There's a steam bath, experience shower and a series of massage rooms, including one for couples treatments. There will be a private room for group events that connects to the spa and has a food and beverage option for those special days shared by family and friends.
“The whole idea of this project is to restore the Hotel Saranac as the grand hotel of Saranac Lake. Ampersand is one more way we are doing that,” says Fred B. Roedel III, managing member of the Roedel Companies. “The spa will provide a place for hotel guests and the local community to relax and celebrate all that the Adirondacks have to offer.”
