  “ La Prairie Spa at Waldorf 
 Astoria Beverly Hills is a 
 | 
  luxury hotel spa . For hotel 
 guests , we invite them in 
 during their stay to enjoy the 
 facilities complimentary as 
 this allows us to meet many 
 of our hotel guests . We build 
 on these connections and 
 often the next visit they will 
 go ahead and book a service . 
 For our locals , we create 
 relations again with consistency 
 . We also note preferences 
 so if they try a new 
 therapist , they don ’ t have to 
 repeat themselves . A warm 
 welcome back versus a Have 
 you been here before ? is a 
 small gesture that goes a 
 long way . Our local guests 
 really appreciate the complimentary 
 valet for all spa 
 services and recently we 
 have added pool access during 
 the week , which is key 
 during the warm LA 
 | 
  lifestyle and selfcare . Regular 
 treatment every two to 
 | 
  four weeks helps to rebalance 
 physically and emotionally 
 .”

  “ We ask each guest , as they 
 are checking out , how they 
 | 
  feel after their session and 
 to use this as a baseline for 
 how great their body can 
 feel . Then we suggest they 
 become aware of when 
 that starts to shift : Once 
 they begin to feel that 
 change , it is their body letting 
 them know they are 
 ready for their next service . 
 This is meant to empower 
 them to follow their inner 
 awareness and knowing of 
 their self-care .”
