A new spa experience has arrived in Kyoto. La Prairie SPA, Asia's first hotel spa using only La Prairie products, opens at The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto on April 1, 2026, in a partnership between the Swiss luxury skincare brand and one of the city's most distinguished hotels.
La Prairie is a luxury skincare brand that brings together Swiss precision science and exceptional craftsmanship. The brand's philosophy rests on the belief that luxury is not something to be proclaimed loudly, but rather something proven through refinement. Its products and treatments are designed to go beyond a simple beauty experience, elevating the quality of everyday life.
The new La Prairie SPA brings together La Prairie's beauty philosophy and The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto's hospitality in a single spa experience. The understated elegance and appreciation for negative space that define Kyoto's aesthetic resonate with La Prairie's own spirit of "quiet excellence," creating a space designed to bring harmony to mind, body, and spirit.
At the spa, guests can choose from treatments using La Prairie's signature collections as well as original treatments developed exclusively for The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto — a menu that cannot be experienced anywhere else, born from the convergence of the brand's philosophy and Kyoto's spiritual character.
