Historic West Baden Resort Wins Conde Nast Gold List 2009 Honors Mineral Spring Spas Taking a Malibu Wellness Approach

Using the Malibu Wellness products approach to both spa services and hotel in-room amenities, the historic resorts at West Baden and French Lick take top honors among frequent travelers according to Conde Nast Traveler.

Malibu, Calif. (PRWEB) May 13, 2009 -- The West Baden Springs Hotel (West Baden, Ind.) already named 21st in Conde Nast Traveler's Top 75 Resorts in the U.S., ahead of such prestigious destinations as The Wynn Las Vegas and The Greenbrier, has now made the magazine's ultra-exclusive Gold List for 2009. The 15th Annual Gold List (http://www.concierge.com/tools/travelawards/readerschoice/resorts#us) features 710 of the best hotels, resorts and cruise lines from around the world.

"This is incredibly gratifying for us," said Mark Bommarito, vice president of sales and marketing. "We set out with the goal of creating the Midwest's best resort destination and the readers of Condé Nast Traveler have affirmed this with their wonderful reviews."

West Baden is part of the enormous spa and resort complex that also includes the French Lick Resort and Casino. The spa is a two-level natatorium, based on the 1902 design. The 14,000 square foot facility is the second spa to open at these recently restored historical sites, originally built to take advantage of the famous, Sprudel mineral springs at West Baden and the Pluto water at French Lick.

Both the Spa at French Lick and the Spa at West Baden Springs offer Malibu Wellness treatments using EC Mode (http://ecmode.com/content/Cn_Skin_Products.aspx) vitamin C skin care products and Malibu's Total Oxidation Management (http://www.malibuwellness.com/content/Cn_TOM_Lifestyle.aspx) system in their 39 treatment rooms for men and women. Shampoos, conditioners, hair and scalp demineralizer and normalizing treatments and skin care products also are retailed to spa visitors and hotel guests.

Malibu Wellness also was chosen as the exclusive amenities line for the hotel guest rooms. A spa spokesman said this has lead to a significant amount of retail sales of Malibu Wellness products, as guests are now asking for the products they experienced in their guest rooms.
