Iconic Paris lido transformed with hotel and spa Only guests and members can access the pool, but a one-day pass will still cost them €150
Molitor, the renowned 1930s swimming baths owned by Paris city council, reopened with a hotel, spa and health club in May following €80m (US$109m, £64.8m) renovation. The site, with its two pools and avant- garde ambience, famously hosted the 1946 Louis Réard fashion show which unveiled the modern bikini. Later on, it became a popular haunt for artists. Today, after two and a half years of refur- bishment, it now also includes a 124-bed fi ve-star hotel that’s operating under the Accor MGallery brand, a health club, res-
taurant and a Clarins spa. The spa has 13 treatment rooms – with beds by Gharieni – a hammam, sauna, relaxation room, tea salon and hairdressers and barber shop. The historically-classifi ed pools, which
have been meticulously restored, include an all-year 46m (151ft) outdoor pool and a 33m (108ft) pool sheltered by a glass roof. Both are now heated to 28˚C. Only hotel gusts and health club mem-
bers have access to the exclusive pools and even then, they'll need to pay €150 (US$200, £120) for a one-day pass. Read more:

Spa-inclusive, aff ordable resort to open in the Maldives
Resort management fi rm The Small Maldives Island Company is one of the latest operators to offer daily complimen- tary spa treatments to entice guests. Spa Business recently reported on the ‘spa inclusive’ trend (see SB14/1 p44) where resort prices automatically include the costs – electricity, product and thera- pist time – of treatments. This enables operators to effectively offer free treat- ments and the proposition is proving popular across Asia. The company will take this approach with two of its new properties – Amilla Fushi which will open in November and the Finolhu that’s due to launch in late 2015. Tom McLoughlin, co-founder of The Small Maldives Island Company says: “We’ve been hankering to do something
The business model includes free treatments
to shake things up [in the Maldives],” and he feels that providing affordable holiday options, is a way to do this. McLoughlin is well known in the Maldives hospitality sector, especially for setting up and running Per Aquum Resorts and Spas. Read more:
