Esthetic Salon Guerlain Paris, The Imperial Hotel Plaza

This European-style salon is sumptuously decorated with a white and gold interior and chandeliers, and specialises in authentic thalassotherapy (using seaweed and seawater). It uses the hand techniques that originated in the main Guerlain salon on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, devised by dermatologist Dr Daubaic. A shorter trial course is also available depending on skin condition. Much attention is paid to privacy, and there is a VIP room which can be entered directly from the hotel area.
