Over the past few years, we have seen some really exciting pop-ups that have raised the bar for exciting dining and lifestyle experiences not only across the city, but around the world. We have rounded up two that are truly not to be missed.
From the cosy charm of La Ruche Hivernale by Guerlain at Cheval Blanc Courchevel to the effervescent elegance of Sun Club by Veuve Cliquot at Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius, each destinations offers a distinct and memorable experience.
Cheval Blanc Courchevel, the dreamy winter destination located in the French Alps is inviting guests to experience La Ruche Hivernale by Guerlain, a wellness refuge unlike any others. Suspended between sky and mountain, this intimate hideaway reimagines the art of express beauty rituals and high perfumery, where nature and skincare come together in a poetic dialogue.
Conceived as a warm cocoon open to the elements - a subtle tribute to the Bee, Guerlain’s historic emblem - the Winter Hive reveals a singular architecture where nature and modernity intertwine. Its glass structure, adorned with honeycomb-shaped mirrors, captures the crystalline light of the snowy peaks and melts into the alpine landscape, playing with reflections and transparency.
As skiers glide down the slopes, they can stop by the Winter Hive to indulge in pampering facial or relaxation express treatments, each thoughtfully curated by Guerlain, before heading back up the mountain.
Guests can choose from an impressive selection of treatments such as the Frost Repair facial treatment that awakens the skin for a complexion that looks visibly smoother, plumper and radiantly youthful; the Snow Velvet relaxation treatment to hydrate and repair the hands with a comforting massage; or the Blanc Imperial which is an Orchidée Impériale facial that enhances the skin combined with a warm paraffin hand wrap for ultimate repair and comfort, amongst others.
