Expansion plans during the economic downturn are said to have been the cause for the Temple Spa Hotel in Co. Westmeath being placed into receivership.
Although for some the Spa is strictly the domain of the adult, German sauna specialist Klafs have introduced a new child-friendly concept.
Located initially at the Steigenberger Hotel Gstaad-Saanen in Switzerland, Klafs hope to role out the concept across Europe.
The Hotel has dedicated an entire floor of its Luxury Spa World exclusively to children.
Facilities include a themed tree sauna, a water grotto with an adventure shower and sensory experiences.
The concept was arrived at as the company identified younger couples with small children as a key demographic of the Spa sector.

Owners Declan and Bernadette Fagan recently consented to a judgement for more than €5.78 million against them at the Commercial Court.
The case was brought after the receiver appointed last November concluded that they could not clear the accrued debt.
Judge Justice Peter Kelly placed a three-month stay on the judgment order granted by him to ACCBank after hearing that Mr and Mrs Fagan’s home was affected by guarantees they made over loans to Temple Spa Ltd – of which they are both directors - to extend the country house property.
The Temple Spa Hotel continues to operate as a Destination Spa, offering an array of beauty and holistic treatments in the Co. Westmeath countryside.
