Spatality Relocates HQ to Bangkok

(July 2009) posted on Tue Jul 28, 2009 EDT


Denver-based Spatality has concluded that overseas markets hold the greatest potential growth for spas, and is relocating its headquarters to Bangkok. That move is one of several restructuring/streamlining steps announced by the company, including promoting Ingo Schweder to ceo and the exit of Richard Dusseau and Elaine Fenard, two of the firm's five founding partners.

"While our company was incubated in the U.S. market, we are finding that our best opportunities at this time are in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and Europe, where we're building exciting new spa brands for clients like MGM Mirage Hospitality, Claridges Hotels & Resorts and others, which we will then manage as the properties come on line," said Schweder, formerly the company's managing director.

Earlier this year, Spatality announced a multi-year global agreement to make its Nectar spa brand available to Sheraton properties worldwide. Between the roll out of that brand and the company's brand-building work across Asia and the Middle East, the company said it "intends to be well positioned for growth as development comes back on line in the coming months."

Spatality offers brand development and management services to hoteliers and developers throughout the world and represents a range of spa brands, including Nectar and Comfort Zone Space.
