Grand Hyatt Nashville announced R+R Wellness today, a world-class spa that will offer curated and customized wellness journeys for hotel guests and Nashville residents. R+R Wellness, which stands for Recharge and Replenish, celebrates the charm, authenticity, and vibrant culture of Music City while bringing a new luxury wellness experience to the Nashville market.
“To say we are proud to work with Grand Hyatt Nashville on this new spa opening is an understatement,” said Ilana Alberico, Chief Executive Officer & Founding Partner of ISM Spa, the management company working with Grand Hyatt Nashville to develop the spa. “With exclusive services that can only be found at R+R Wellness, such as the five-step Wellness Journey featuring a custom aromatherapy blending bar and a variety of personalized treatments, we are thinking creatively about what modern wellness means as we work to deliver a world-class spa experience for hotel guests and Nashville residents alike. At ISM, we feel strongly the world needs wellness more than ever, and we’re so proud to serve this need in Nashville.”
“We’re thrilled to unveil R+R Wellness, which will offer hotel guests and locals an elevated spa experience unlike anything Nashville has seen before,” said John D’Angelo, general manager of Grand Hyatt Nashville. “Not only is the spa a visual treat, with stunning interiors featuring accents of marble, gold, and forest green, the services offered by the five-star, highly-trained specialists will be beyond exceptional. R+R Wellness is designed to indulge all the senses and will leave guests counting the minutes until their next visit.”
Each R+R Wellness visit is envisioned to begin with an aromatherapy journey that explores the elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wood and Metal, helping guests find their unique balance as they begin their spa experience. Guests will choose from a menu of services ranging from 30-minute express wellness treatments designed to recharge (aromatherapy blending bar, personalized wellness journey, meditation lounge, and more) to more intensive services (massage, traditional facials and HydraFacials, face masques and glycolic peels, among others) that are designed to help guests replenish both mentally and physically.
With safety and sanitation always top of mind, R+R Wellness will help promote guest and employee well-being by adopting cleaning protocols developed in light of guidance from the CDC, the WHO, and other leading orgnizations and experts. While the initial spa menu will focus on individual services aligned with current public health guidelines, in the future, R+R Wellness will offer a variety of VIP and group experiences, such as yoga classes and other group wellness programming and customized experiences to enhance a variety of life celebrations.

“Every single design element of R + R Wellness is intentionally inspired for the ultimate sensory experience,” said Christina Stratton, Chief Creative Officer and Founding Partner for ISM Spa. “From the moment the guest enters the spa, we engage each of the five senses utilizing natural elements of earth, fire, water, wood, and metal to set the tone for the ultimate relaxation experience. We envelop the senses with aromatherapy personalized for well-being and balance while engaging the mind in our one-of-a-kind guided meditation experience lounges – these are just a few of the touches we have woven into the R + R Wellness journey.
