For
well over a decade now, it’s become increasingly clear
that hotel and resort spas are here to stay! Properties that
added a spa or upgraded their existing spa have benefited enormously.
Increasingly, the savvy, health-conscious guest will choose
to spend time at a property where spa services are offered.
Since prestige levels, as well as occupancy levels, are elevated,
staffing these spas with top-quality personnel will continue
to be a priority for these hotels and resorts.
Global Hospitality has dedicated a great deal of energy and
has developed a high level of expertise in the spa sector
of hospitality. We've specialized in successfully recruiting
luxury spa personnel for many four- and five-star hotels and
resorts. Our attendance at spa conventions, our networking
outreach with spa industry insiders, and the large number
of top spa professionals in our candidate database ensures
that you will find the answers—and the personnel you
are looking for—at Global Hospitality.
We have recently completed a number of spa searches for well-known
luxury resorts and hotels and have the resources and expertise
to help you find highly qualified spa personnel when you need
them. For more information, or to inquire about conducting
a search for a key member of your spa management team, please
contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
Types of Positions Available:
Spa Directors
A Spa Director at a top-quality resort or hotel will oversee
many areas, such as staffing, training, product purchasing,
merchandising, setting up a strong retail outlet, budgeting
and forecasting. He or she may be asked to help market the
spa and be knowledgeable about Internet advertising and have
Public Relations’ contacts. Spa Directors are often
asked to help design new or additional spa areas and see the
project through to opening. A seasoned Spa Director with a
broad range of experience may be compensated in the $70-125K
range.
A Spa Director just starting out at a small to mid-sized
spa will, of course, not be offered as high a salary. Our
experience indicates that the general salary range for this
Director will typically be in the $50-65K range. All candidates
must have a high level of operational experience and several
certifications, including CPR and First Aid.
Assistant Spa Directors/ Spa Operations
Managers
Salary range is generally $40-65K, dependent on the factors
cited above and location, cost of living, etc. Candidates
must have previous experience in a spa setting.
Types of Spas We Work With:
Destination Spa
These spas offer overnight accommodations and programs that
include exercise and nutrition classes, body treatments, mind-enrichment
and stress-reduction activities, and feature spa cuisine.
Destination Resort Spa
These full-service spas are part of an overall menu of attractions.
Destination resort spas are like “dessert” after
a day of touring Wine Country or taking in the sights and
shows in Las Vegas, for example.
Hotel/Resort with Spa
City hotels and/or resorts have found that adding a spa
to their list of guest amenities greatly enhances their attractiveness
and brings a big increase in rooms booked.
Health & Wellness Spa/ Medical
Spa
The focus here is on helping one change lifestyle, diet,
and exercise regimens. A Wellness or Medical spa may offer
cosmetic surgery with excellent, skilled after-care in a luxury
spa environment.
