May 30, 2011 – Urban hustle and bustle will be but a faint memory once you step through the doorway of the Scandinave Les Bains Vieux-Montréal, a magnificent spa built in the thousand year-old European tradition where peace and tranquility reign supreme. Here, in this haven nestled in the heart of Old Montréal, everything is designed to offer clients a much-appreciated – and well-deserved – escape. This multi-sensorial experience revolves around thermal therapy in three stages, beginning with body warming – hot hydro-jet bath with thermal waterfall, eucalyptus steam bath, or Finnish sauna – followed by a refreshing cool water rinse in a Nordic shower or a cold plunge, and finally, a period of extreme relaxation. To revitalize the body, cleanse the skin, reduce tension, and invigorate the spirit, there is nothing better!
A veritable urban paradise, the spa also offers relaxation areas that are ideal for quiet moments between treatments or before heading back to reality. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a home-made smoothie, lemon-filtered water, or herbal tea from Les Courants Juice Bar as you revel in your state of blissful tranquility.
And such an experience of profound wellbeing wouldn’t be complete without a therapeutic massage – Swedish, Swedish Exfoliation, Hot Stone, Deep Tissue – by one of the spa’s certified massotherapists.
Aside from its incredible treatments, the Scandinave is also remarkable for its interior design that incorporates water, daylight, wood, and rock in such as way as to play with the duality between hot and cold – more specifically the idea of cool glaciers and warm volcanic rock.
An outstanding fusion of modern design, innovative technology and environmentally-friendly practices, this creation by the architectural firm, Saucier + Perrotte Architectes, has received numerous accolades, the reason for which is evident as soon as you enter the building. Le Scandinave Les Bains Vieux-Montréal, pure pleasure for the senses.
