Bliss spa is going global, stretching its beauty footprint in new W Hotels from Hong Kong to Doha, Barcelona to Dubai, and beyond. In addition to recent domestic openings in Atlanta, Scottsdale, and Hoboken, N.J, Bliss debuted in Asia last year with the opening of Bliss spa at W Hong Kong. The spa brand also entered the Middle East with a new Bliss spa in the recently opened W Doha in Qatar. Launching a global growth plan, Bliss spa, which currently has 13 locations worldwide, will have 25 spa properties by 2011. Bliss will open new spa locations within upcoming W Hotels debuting around the globe, including W Barcelona, W South Beach, and W Fort Lauderdale this year and W Dubai in 2011. With this global expansion, Bliss continues to offer a menu of effective services, rhythm and blues tunes, and brownie buffet. Each new Bliss spa will feature the brand's signature services, including the blissage75 and triple oxygen treatment, topped off with a selection of treatments inspired by the destination.

Bliss Hong Kong, which opened in October 2008 at W Hong Kong, has set up spa over two floors, featuring a retail beauty boutique, two movie-while-you-manicure (and pedicure) loungers, nine treatment suites -- including two "BIP" (Bliss Important Person) suites for couples (one with a Jacuzzi and day bed), and one male/female relaxation room (perfect for a post-treatment cat nap), men's and women's lounges, a wet room and vitality pool. Bliss Hong Kong features breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour with exclusive treatments. The debut of W Hong Kong marked the W brand's entry into China as well as the first Bliss Spa in Asia. Bliss Doha, which opened in March 2009, boasts 8,000 square feet of tension-fighting facilities, featuring a retail beauty boutique, three movie-while-you-manicure stations and two pedicure loungers, nine treatment rooms, including one "BIP" room where couples can enjoy a spaahh-inspired soaking tub. Bliss Doha exclusives include men's and women's Laconiums, crystal clearing (whitening facial), threading, and a bath soak treatment with a bliss bubbly blend. W Doha debuted as W's first property in the Middle East, featuring the area's first Bliss spa. The opening of Bliss Doha marks the 10th Bliss spa to open within a W property.
