This summer, the Dior Spa is just like you—eager to get out of town. After last year’s takeover of a yacht on the Seine and its recent residence aboard Belmond’s luxury trains, the Dior Spa is venturing someplace fresh, glamorous, and slightly unexpected: Colorado.
Aspen, Colorado, is renowned for its snow-peaked caps and for being an iconic Housewives vacation locale, but for a limited period of time, it’s also the Dior Spa’s newest home. The Little Nell, the city’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel, is collaborating with the brand to bring its French spa savoir faire to the alpines. As a special offering, the Little Nell’s pool and hot tub cabana are decorated in the same aquamarine toile de Jouy Soleil as seen in Dior’s Fall 2024 Dioriviera capsule collection. For people who want to ensure that pool- and jacuzzi-side selfies look extra great, the brand’s boutique in Aspen is also carrying the Dioriviera collection, including classic items such as the Dioriviera D-Bobby Large Brim Hat and the Medium Dioriviera Lady D-Lite Bag.
The brand’s takeover also includes a robust, re-imagined spa menu. Among the highlights are the Dior Aspect Ritual, a 90-minute treatment that includes an infrared therapy sauna session, deep tissue massage, and a facial with LED light and oxygen. For those looking for a facial that will maximize dewiness, the Kobi uses 60 minutes to polish, lift, and deeply massage the skin with the brand’s Dior Prestige products. For a wellness retreat-like experience, there’s also the 240-minute Alpine Glow, which combines heat therapy with a body massage and facial treatment to ensure that you melt into a puddle of relaxed bliss at its conclusion. During the week of August 15, the brand welcomed stars such as Alexandra Daddario, Ashley Park, Thomas Doherty, and Liza Koshy to experience the the residency and picturesque mountain visages. But the Dior Spa won’t be in the Rocky Mountains forever—guests can experience this all from now until September 30.
