The Ritz-Carlton Spa Dallas

Inspired by Dallas’ Arboretum and the winding Turtle Creek nearby, ForrestPerkins transformed the Spa at The Ritz-Carlton Dallas in 2022, using nature’s beauty to create a serene escape.

Bronze door handles resembling tree branches are the first things guests touch, setting the tone for organic elegance as they open the glass doors to enter the spa. The new layout offers a seamless flow from entry to lounge areas, and a soft color palette inspired by lavender and lilac blooms breathes fresh air into the space while crisp white millwork with bronze accents frame the retail displays.

In the reception area, a sculpted trellis with textured flowers, vines, and leaves, hand-forged in steel by a local artist, adds warmth and whimsy. The marble flooring in the hair and nail salon, with lavender and deep-purple veining, enhances the tranquil ambiance. Delicate gauzy sheers discreetly divide the plush seating in the Men’s and Women’s Lounges, creating intimate spaces for both groups—perfect spots to unwind with a glass of champagne, offering a a restorative pause from the city.
