Bliss Spa designed by TRO Jung Brannen opens within W Hotel
The Bliss Spa, designed by TRO Jung Brannen's interiors group, recently celebrated its grand opening within the W Hotel and Residences.
TRO Jung Brannen's design for Bliss balances a public space with a serene and relaxing environment in the treatment rooms. The concept for this urban spa was to soothe the senses by creating a year round summer garden as an escape for Bostonians from the harsh winters - a garden oasis of Bliss. This theme is expressed through playful interpretations including swings that are overgrown with foliage where product is displayed, light-hearted wallpaper in the lounges that represent the flowers in a garden, and mobiles in the manicure/pedicure area that suggest clouds. While careful attention was given to maintaining the spa's international brand, it reflects an individualized Boston identity.
Now what? As the year comes to a close, the state of retail is always in the news. The answers vary greatly depending on who in the various related industries you ask, each offering a unique lens on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
This may seem self-serving, and I’ll be the first to admit it. But unlike some of the artificial intelligence tools now reshaping our industry, I am fully aware of my own bias. So, hear me out. The rise of AI in commercial real estate is not a distant threat or a speculative headline.
