Hot spa retreat Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland is injecting a shot of glamour to the standard steam with a touch of frosting! For the first time ever, the glittering gems from iconic crystal-makers Swarovski adorn a steam room that would tempt Audrey away from Tiffany�s!

The new Swarovski embellished steam room is now open and is located within To B. Wellbeing & Spa, the recently refurbished pampering spa at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz. Over 300 individual crystals adorn the walls, twinkling like white diamonds under softly changing soothing coloured lights to create a therapeutic atmosphere. Sit back and inhale herbal scented steam with lavender and mint to detoxify the body, open up pores and banish impurities.

And a tip for girls wanting a sparkling rock of their own - the steam room has already seen a number of marriage proposals within its dazzling walls from men inspired by all those crystals to bring their own diamonds along with them!

To B. Wellbeing & Spa is the exclusive spa and beauty centre at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz. Spanning 5,500 square metres and now complete, it offers a tranquil setting devoted to guest wellbeing. Enjoy a comprehensive range of spa and beauty treatments and facilities including aroma cabins, freshwater whirlpools and roman baths. Part of the new Sauna World at To. B Wellbeing & Spa, the sparkling steam room is complemented with a traditional Finnish Sauna, Kneipp Circuit and refreshing Ice Grotto.
