Design of BATHHOUSE Spa in THEhotel at Mandalay Bay Once Again Recognized for Excellence at 25th Annual Gold Key Awards

LAS VEGAS – BATHHOUSE, located inside THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, continues to set itself apart from other spas. At the recent 25th annual Gold Key Awards for Excellence in Hospitality, BATHHOUSE received the Grand Prize in Spa Design by the International Hotel/Motel and Restaurant Show. Created by New York-based design firm, Richardson Sadeki, the 15,000-square-foot luxury spa features unique elements, which garner attention in both the design and spa worlds.

Richardson Sadeki’s renowned design team drew inspiration for BATHHOUSE from Baroque architecture reinterpreting it for modern times. The final result led designers to coin the phrase: “slow space.” The experience begins at the entrance of BATHHOUSE. The $25 million spa reveals itself to patrons in small moments, creating the feeling of privacy in an open environment. The inventive yet simplistic use of cool stone, polished glass and falling water provide a soothing and tranquil escape for guests – even when they’re enjoying the very public areas of the spa’s plunge pools, soaking tubs, steam rooms and saunas.

This is the second design award for BATHHOUSE and Richardson Sadeki. On June 8, 2005, Hospitality Design Magazine selected BATHHOUSE for its first annual Creative Achievement Award for Best Spa Design. Hospitality Design is the premier architecture and design publication for the hospitality industry.

BATHHOUSE is located on the second floor of THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. The two-story complex features 12 treatment rooms, separate hot-and-cold plunge pools, hot whirlpools, eucalyptus steam rooms, redwood saunas, relaxation lounges, vanity/locker rooms, a salon and a state-of-the-art gym. BATHHOUSE offers a full range of treatments including massages, wraps, baths, facials, nail care, UV-free tanning, waxing and personalized fitness assistance.
