All New Spa Menu Unveiled at The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village
ALL NEW SPA MENU UNVEILED AT THE SPA AT FOUR SEASONS HOTEL WESTLAKE VILLAGE
~Introducing Treatments by Caci ULTRA, Ling Skincare, ZO Skin Health and Uspa~
(April 12, 2010) - An all new menu of skincare and body treatments is now available in The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village. The innovative selection of services combines an array of all natural and results-oriented services with the latest technology available on the market for non-invasive skincare. New facial treatments utilize products from Ling Skincare, ZO Skin Health and Uspa, any of which may be enhanced by CACI Ultra technology. Body treatments include replenishing wraps and exfoliating scrubs featuring an extensive selection of all natural products from Uspa.
CACI Ultra Signature Treatments
Whether choosing a CACI Ultra signature facial treatment such as the Anti-Gravity Face Life or Ultrasonic Microdermabrasion Facial, this advanced technology works to lift, tone and regenerate the face and neck. In addition, the equipment may be utilized as an enhancement to another facial to hydrate the skin, soften lines and wrinkles, and reduce sun damage and skin congestion while also tightening and toning the face and neck. Subtle micro-current impulses are transmitted through soft cotton tipped probes designed to re-educate, tone muscles and enhance skin tissue repair. The CACI Ultra-Facial’s unique ultrasonic hand piece exfoliates and deep cleans the epidermis. The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village is the only spa from N. Hollywood to San Francisco to feature this technology.
Ling Skincare Facials
Ling Skincare blends results-oriented formulas with celebrity facialist Ling Chan’s unique philosophy based on prevention, correction and education. New skincare treatments featuring Ling products include the Ling Triple Peel Facial, California Fruit Explosion, the Collagen Firming Facial and more. In the “C” the Difference Antioxidant facial, an enriched vitamin C serum is infused into the skin to neutralize free radicals, fight aging effects and significantly reduce any discolorations. For more than 30 years Ling Skincare, founded by celebrity facialist Ling Chan, has been a New York City institution.
ZO Skin Health Treatments from Zein Obagi, M.D.
As the creator of the skin health concept, dermatologist Zein Obagi, M.D., is esteemed for his work in correcting a wide range of skin conditions, including facial melasma, deep wrinkles, age spots, acne scars and sun-damaged skin. Two new treatments in The Spa utilize ZO Skin Health for the optimum in results. The Growth Factor Collagen Therapy is a one-two punch for fighting aging. Two powerful proprietary peptides, retinol and amino acids boost collagen and stimulate cellular function to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles. For fast results, the Ossential Stimulator Peel reduces fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone and clarity through a retinol, hydroxy acid and antioxidant rich peel.
Uspa Natural Skincare and Body Treatments
Founded by George and Vanessa Jilly of Melbourne, Australia, the all natural Uspa line of products is featured in both skincare and body treatments. Uspa facial treatments include the Purifying Deep Cleansing Facial and the Men’s Moroccan Focus Facial featuring Argan oil including potent anti-aging properties. The new spa menu also features Uspa body treatments such as the Bamboo Body Polish or the Purifying Aromatic Clay Wrap. The Organic Earth Body Exfoliation utilizes the detoxifying properties of caffeine and sea kelp which are infused into a fine ground pumice with uplifting grapefruit. This is followed by tangerine and rose dry oil for smooth and nourished skin. Each Uspa treatment is inspired by authentic global rituals such as the Mandi Susu Rose Bath, honoring the princesses of Java.
The 40,000-square-foot Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village offers a holistic menu of treatments and therapies provided in 28 onyx-accented rooms and suites, each with its own private outdoor terrace. Relaxation areas include men’s and ladies’ lounges, each with dry sauna, eucalyptus steam room and mosaic-tiled whirlpool rooms. Four spa suites, each with daybed, fireplace, and experience shower, feature views of secluded garden terraces and private plunge pools. In addition, 10 outdoor cabanas, furnished with day beds and private bars, surround the Serenity Pool.

New Wellness and Longevity Options are on the Menu at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village
NEW WELLNESS AND LONGEVITY OPTIONS ARE ON THE MENU
AT FOUR SEASONS HOTEL WESTLAKE VILLAGE
~Created by Executive Chef Mario Alcocer and
Director of Nutrition Paulette Lambert, RD, CDE of California Health & Longevity Institute ~
(February 7, 2010) – Guests visiting the restaurants and attending special events at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village notice new wellness and longevity options are now on the menu. Showcasing the freshest seasonal produce, locally sourced ingredients, whole grains and unprocessed foods, the new menu selections were developed by the hotel’s Executive Chef Mario Alcocer and California Health & Longevity Institute Director of Nutrition Paulette Lambert, a registered dietitian and certified diabetic educator.
“Whether visiting locally for the day, or traveling here for business or pleasure, people want to continue to eat healthy while dining out. These options aren’t just created to focus on dieting or weight loss, but to improve the overall nutrition content to prevent chronic disease,” said Ms. Lambert, a nutrition expert with more than 25 years of experience in her field. “We really looked at focusing on getting the most nutrition possible in each meal while having wonderful tasting food.”
“Incorporating more nutrition into the menus is a natural fit for our hotel considering the connection to California Health & Longevity Institute located within the Hotel,” said Executive Chef Alcocer. “Many of our guests visit us with a specific health goal in mind, while others want to maintain their healthy eating habits. These choices enable them to restore good nutrition to their meals and revitalize their energy for business or pleasure.”
Throughout the hotel, the focus is on incorporating more fruits and vegetables into the menus to help guests achieve the recommended seven to 10 servings per day for optimum health. Each of the recommended dishes is also served in the correct portion size with more produce and less protein enhanced by whole grains with higher fiber and nutrition value.
In the Lobby Lounge, longevity options are featured for breakfast and lunch. A healthy start to the day could include a selection from “Fruit, Grains & Yogurt,” featuring the longevity house made granola. The “Healthy Elixirs” section features the antioxidant smoothie, strawberry blast and stress buster, each of which contains three of the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables for the day. For something heartier, several “Healthy Start” entrees are offered such as buckwheat pancakes or the Southwestern tofu scramble. Diners can power up their power lunches with longevity selections featuring a variety of soups, salads and entrees such as the steelhead all natural Shetland organic salmon or halibut fish tacos.
The hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Hampton’s, offers diners a choice of Wellness options which are created with no butter or saturated fats while being prepared with the classical techniques. In ONYX, the Asian restaurant, more vegetarian options are offered on the menu in addition to wellness selections which will be noted by the Japanese character for long life.
Wellness Options for Meetings and Special Events
For individuals planning special events such as weddings, fundraisers or corporate meetings, a variety of new wellness options are available on the banquet menus. Breakfast choices provide energy for the day, and energy-boosting lunch and dinner options are also available. Creative breaks with a nutritious twist provide fuel for the late afternoon’s discussion to ensure maximum productivity. For social events such as weddings, fundraisers and bar or bat mitzvahs, the host or guest of honor’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle can be highlighted through the selection of wellness menu options for an elegant dinner or a cocktail party. Wellness menu options can be customized for groups from 10 to 1,000.
Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village and California Health & Longevity Institute opened together in November 2006. In addition to the 40,000-square-foot Spa at Four Seasons, the AAA Five Diamond hotel offers extensive function space for meetings and events as well as diverse dining options including Hampton’s and ONYX. Located within the Hotel, California Health & Longevity Institute provides a 360-degree approach to health and wellness for individuals and groups through experts in medicine, nutrition, fitness, life balance and spa.
