Modera Flats, luxury apartments in Houston TX,  and Dancing Bear,  multimillion dollar condominiums in Aspen CO,  have a few things in common.  They both cater to the very affluent market and both were looking for amenities that go above and beyond what residents typically enjoy at luxury properties.  The solution for these properties has been HydroMassage.

Modera Flats – Houston TX

Dancing Bear – Aspen CO

The Hydromassage Zone® is an automated luxury mini-spa.  This self-directed massage amenity has been able to provide an exceptional convenience and further enhances the resident experience

Another huge benefit of this type of amenity is that it is inclusive and accessible for all residents.  There are no physical limitations when utilizing a HydroMassage Zone®, whether a resident is able-bodied or not, the ease of accessibility allows the properties to provide a wonderful amenity that is inclusive for all.  In some properties twice as many residents utilize the HydroMassage Zone® compared to the fitness center on site.

Luxury apartments and condominiums are looking to add more inclusive and accessible amenities and the benefits of an automated massage has been very well received by the residents.  Not all residents want to, or are able to, utilize the current amenities that properties currently offer.  Hydromassage offers a convenient luxury that is available to all. A HydroMassage Zone can work in most types of multi-unit housing” said Jeff Josephson, Director of Multi-Family & Hospitality for HydroMassage. “From student housing to senior living, luxury apartments to market rate properties, there is a compelling reason for adding this amenity.  Having inclusive and accessible amenities for ALL residents is becoming a priority for properties.”

Most luxury multifamily apartments and condominiums provide exceptional amenities.  The HydroMassage Zone® allows more residents to enjoy more of the property.  Properties are able to provide an accessible and inclusive spa component that turns an underutilized space into a revenue generating resident enhancement

The HydroMassage Zone® is an automated mini-spa ideally located in a semi-private area near the main lobby.  This self-directed massage amenity has been able to provide an exceptional guest convenience that is completely automated and can also generate additional revenue for the property.

JenSpa (www.jenspa.net) is located in the neighborhood of the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The resort of Sandestin has lodging and residences that are spread through 30 neighborhoods with 1,600 residences and hotel accommodations. The resort has beaches, golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, marina, as well as a fitness center and full service spa.

JenSpa has added to the growing list of amenities that the resort offers and the business model of a walk up automated massage has been very well received by the residents and guests.

“We wanted to create a business model around offering convenient luxuries to the residents and guests that visit the resort” said Ron Hoglander the owner of the business.  “Whether you’re here for a 15 minute session or an entire day, we want to make our service simple and easy to use.”

“We get a number of people that want to sit down and relax and maybe treat themselves to something that feels good after a long day of being on their feet.  The HydroMassage product has been spectacular and all the guests are big fans.”  Ron also said, “HydroMassage just feels good!”

Most resort properties provide exceptional amenities.  The HydroMassage Zone allows more guests to enjoy the spa.  “Not everyone has the 1-2 hours it takes to get a massage.  HydroMassage provides an exceptional massage in 10-15 minutes and makes massage accessible to more people.”

Within the luxury resort segment there is not a lot currently provided to allow quick and convenient relief from jet lag, cramped seating, and the general wear and tear that goes along with vacation travel. The HydroMassage Zone® allows properties to add an accessible  spa component and turn an underutilized space into a revenue generating guest enhancement.

“The guests love this spa and HydroMassage” Ron said.  “They are amazed that they can feel so good after just 10-15 minutes on the product.”

The Hydromassage Zone® is an automated mini-spa ideally located in a semi-private area near the main lobby.  This self-directed massage amenity has been able to generate an additional $2,000 to $10,000 per month in incremental revenue for properties, and the guests love it.

The Holiday Inn Express and Crowne Plaza in Springfield IL are attached to a convention center, so there are some unique aspects to revenue generation at this property.  The goal of adding The HydroMassage Zone® to this full-service property was to provide an amenity that both hotel guests and convention center attendees could utilize.

“We needed to find a way to easily provide payment methods for The HydroMassage Zone® so all the attendees that are not staying at property could utilize this amenity” said Alan Filer, General Manager of the complex.  “HydroMassage was very easy to work with and came up with a wonderful solution that allows the convention center attendees to pay for their massage right at the product.  We are very excited to be the first IHG property to offer this self-service mini-spa amenity.”

Most properties provide an exceptional value, and now IHG is setting themselves apart by also providing a spa amenity normally only found at high-end luxury properties.

Within the full-service and limited-service hotel space there is not a lot currently provided to relieve frequent travelers from jet lag, cramped seating, and the general wear and tear that goes along with being a road warrior. The HydroMassage Zone® allows properties to add a spa component and turn an underutilized space into a revenue generating guest enhancement.

“The guests love this amenity” Alan said.  “The expressions on the guests faces and the reviews on our website are truly heartwarming.  It has also been a great way to keep the guests happy during check-in, check-out times are when they are waiting for a ride to the airport.”

John Moradi has had a HydroMassage Zone in his Comfort Inn hotel for over two and a half years.

What is HydroMassage?

HydroMassage is an innovative massage amenity enjoyed by all guests.

As a turn-key mini-spa solution, it’s the perfect way for guests to relax and ease aches and pains after a long day of work or play.

Recently, we sat down with John to get his thoughts on HydroMassage, and his advice to other hotel operators.

Throughout the course of the afternoon, we discussed a wide range of topics, and John shared the following:

• “Guests love the machine – people never stop talking about how HydroMassage is beneficial to their stay”
• “As soon as we installed HydroMassage, our reviews on Trip Advisor have been outstanding”
• “We have increased our service fee, and we now generate more revenue”

Most limited-service properties provide an exceptional value.

Good quality rooms, basic amenities, free breakfast, Wi-Fi, fitness, pool, etc.

But do you really know which amenities are generating revenue?  Which amenities are being utilized by the guests?  And which amenities are going beyond the guest expectations to provide a truly hospitable stay?

Assuming the basics are being met, how do you provide something extra that most guests will appreciate and utilize, that will also generate additional revenue.

Within the limited service hotel space there is not a lot currently provided to relieve frequent travelers from jet lag, cramped seating, and the general wear and tear that goes along with being a road warrior.

Consider these facts:

The real surprise was the hydromassage chairs they give you 10 minutes free on when you check in. Great way to unwind after a long flight.

On check in you receive voucher for a ten-minute HydroMassage. What a treat and a wonderful experience after a long day.!!!

Also we got a free massage in one of the hydro massage chairs which was fantastic!!!

An added treat is a hydro massage.

Great room, amazing HydroMassage

Kids loved the breakfast and we loved the hydro massage!

Great experience, nice room, staff was friendly, massage was greatly appreciated and free!

The hydromassage was a nice relaxing treat also.

My wife enjoyed the hydro-massage chair – the complimentary trial was a nice touch. If we come back this way, we’ll stay here again.

Check out this great excerpt from IHRSA’s Jim Schmaltz on Recovery in Health Clubs today.

“Adding extra wellness-based services to the core mission of health clubs has become more common, even for high-traffic facilities. This is partly to maintain a competitive edge, but it’s also a win/win strategy if it’s executed correctly. More services can create more value for the member, while adding significant non-dues revenue to the club’s bottom line.”

Don’t miss this article featuring HydroMassage in a Minneapolis YMCA. Here’s a little preview:

“What is it?
Think of this as a massage chair with an upgrade. Hydromassage uses pressurized water, like Jacuzzi jets, to give you a full-body massage — without the massage therapist. “Massage, in general, has so many benefits, and it can be experienced in the chair. It’s less invasive,” said Jennifer Menk, senior director of health and well-being at the downtown Y.”

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting some really great people in Clearwater, Florida for our first annual Golf Experience and Factory Tour.

The event consisted of good food, good fun, two rounds of golf at the Belleair Country Club and Westchase Country Club, a HydroMassage factory tour, and accommodations on beautiful Clearwater Beach.

Overall, so many friendships were made and relationships were forged that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait until next year!

A special thank you to all who joined us for this experience. We truly could not have asked for a more enjoyable group of people.
