The InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto will soon have a place for guests to rest and relax their travel-weary bones as luxury spa operator East Day Spa has announced the opening of its unique Eastern-influenced day spa.

“We’ve established a strong reputation at our spas in Bali, Auckland and Wellington for our authentic Eastern-style massages and luxury beauty treatments. We are excited to be bringing our unique blend of ancient healing therapies and modern spa treatments to Melbourne. We felt this was an ideal fit for us as we continue to expand in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Ina Bajaj, East Day Spa co-director.

East Day Spa clients will be able to choose from a diverse range of treatments, including the luxurious Ultimate East Experiences and a broad selection of massage options based on both ancient and modern Eastern techniques, facials, manicures and pedicures.

East Day Spa also caters specifically for men with its East Man menu, offering specialist treatments to help clients de-stress and look and feel their absolute best.

“Stress manifests itself in so many ways, affecting all aspects of our lives, from our relationships to how we perform at work to our general health. The aim of East Day Spa is to establish an environment of calm and serenity where people can take time out for both their physical and mental well-being,” Bajaj said.

InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto general manager, Manrique Rodriguez said the staff and management of the hotel have been eagerly awaiting the opening of East Day Spa. “With the recent arrival of East Day Spa we are delighted to be able to offer our guests a luxury spa and beauty experience as a compliment to the superior service and outstanding facilities that InterContinental hotels are famous for,” he said.
