[Hollywood, CA – May, 2007] – The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel has broken ground on construction for its new Spa Luce. The world-class spa is part of the hotel’s $29 million grand renovation, which includes the chic new bar and lounge, and a complete refurbishment of all guest rooms, the outside pool, and lobby. 

A joint venture with WTS International, the new Spa Luce at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel will offer a luxurious and relaxing experience on-site, without ever having to brave the Los Angeles traffic. Perfect for both the spa beginner and expert, Spa Luce will set the standard for quality spa services by offering unique treatments and product lines in a rejuvenating environment.

The name Spa Luce originates from the Italian word for “light,” a guiding principle for the spa’s design. When completed, natural sunlight will stream into the spa, creating an environment where light and warmth are seen for their regenerative, healing properties. The spa will feature six distinct treatment rooms and is set to open this winter.

With the creation of the spa, the outdoor pool and the exercise area will also be redesigned. With an unfettered view of the Hollywood sign and the cityscape, the Los Angeles hotel’s Pool Terrace will become a more intimate affair, with a new bar offering world-famous Wolfgang Puck creations.

The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, Los Angeles, California, is located at Hollywood & Highland, a shopping and entertainment mecca and home to the Academy Awards® ceremonies. This Hollywood, California hotel offers 637 distinctive guest rooms, 33 suites, and the unforgettable 3,500 sq. ft. Panorama Suite.
