Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / October 7 2004: Rosslare hotel's designer spa has natural, nautical look

Creating a calming spa is stressful. Today's relaxation seekers appreciate a multitude of features, including hydrotherapy pools, ice jets, saunas, treatment rooms, seaweed baths and beautiful surroundings. Perhaps that's why Irish architects are increasingly being called upon to create hard-working retreats. This year, architectural practice Oppermann Associates won an RIAI exhibition award for their Samas spa at the Park Hotel in Kenmare, Brian O'Halloran Associates is working on the K-Club Spa due to open on December 1st, and Quilligan Architects has seen the realisation of a spa at Kelly's Resort Hotel in Rosslare. Spas in Ireland cover a wide field from certain "day spas" which involve a couple of bubble-jet baths and a sunroom above a downtown shop, to the increasingly sophisticated oases often attached to hotels.
