ABOUT SUITE SPA
Suite Spa is a family owned business driven by the values of Learning, Imagination, Friendship, and Excellence. Learning and imagination kicked in when in early in 2009 Vasaio Life Spa, our mother company, was asked to create a spa business within the JW Marriott, Grand Rapids Michigan which had only one spa room.
They knew the demand for spa would out pace the spa space we were given, and George Aquino, the general manager, allowed them to expand spa services into guests’ rooms, as long as it was done with excellence and provided wonderful customer service. An innovative spa cart, systems, products and protocols were developed that fit the high-end hotel culture. Suite Spa® was born.
It even became a legal franchise. Because hotel staff and guests loved the idea JW Marriott sent out a press release and the story was picked up by USA Today in April ’09. Presently Suite Spa is a preferred vendor for Corporate Hyatt, and so far they run and own all of the 6 Suite Spa businesses thus far (Andaz 5th Ave NYC; Grand Hyatt NYC; 48LEX NYC; Hyatt Regency,New Brunswick; Beacon Hill at Eastgate; and the Park Hyatt, Washington DC).
World class spa experiences no longer need to come with a world class price tag. Suite Spa expects to expand into other hotel and resort chains, either corporately owned or franchised and they are positioned to just sell the Suite Spa® carts, as well, to organizations that want to potentially branch out spa services into a guest’s room.
