Morgans Hotel Group Unveils New agua at Delano

MIAMI, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Morgans Hotel Group is proud to announce the expansion and renovation of Delano's spa, agua. The spa has been reimagined by Morgans Hotel Group's longtime collaborator, Tim Andreas of BANJO Architects. agua has expanded to approximately 3,500 square feet, including a 500 square foot solarium with a playful Floridian landscape of tropical foliage and infinite ocean views on the rooftop of the iconic hotel. Inspired by Delano's signature white interiors, the spa's outer beauty inspires inner peace.

Andreas has elegantly adorned agua with custom designed white terrazzo floors complimented by a curved, vertically striped mosaic of hand-cut Brazilian glass tiles in glistening shades of white. Hand blown white glass chandeliers from Murano, Italy are delicately suspended above the dreamlike atmosphere. Throughout the space, cabana-inspired hidden lounges feature Delano's famous custom designed furniture and provide seclusion for guests seeking a private sanctuary before, after, or between treatments, while maintaining accessibility to agua's experienced staff of technicians.

The spa features eight private treatment rooms, which include massage rooms that can be transformed into an intimate space for couples to enjoy the variety of agua's services. Two tranquil Vichy shower rooms provide guests with the opportunity to indulge in full body, wet room treatments; and facial rooms offer a range of outstanding services customized to each guest. Special facials and skin treatments designed for men are also new on agua's menu; both men and women's facials utilize renowned organic skin products from Luzern Laboratories. In addition to agua's signature Milk and Honey Treatment, which uses a blend of honey and organic sesame oil, the spa will feature medical- grade oxygen facials that give the face a unique workout. The men's and women's changing rooms each include modern steam rooms and natural Korres amenities exclusively made for Morgans Hotel Group properties. Services are also available poolside and in-room for guests seeking an alternative way to indulge in the favorite treats of Miami's most distinctive hotel.
