Spa Branding, Development and Creation

The best and most memorable experiences are grounded in a theme or “journey” which is unique to a particular locale and its user population. Given the number of choices that consumers have today, having a brand to complement your property will assist in making your spa more attractive and compelling to future customers. Identity Hospitality has developed some of the most recognized and respected spa brands in the hospitality space for both hotel and resort projects as well as hospitality development companies.

When thinking about opening a spa, it’s extremely important to include brand-related research and development as part of your launch process.

Spa Audits & Evaluations

Is Your Spa Not Performing as Expected?

If you have a spa, fitness, or leisure facility that is either new or that is under-performing, Identity Hospitality can identify ways to significantly impact both the quality and standards of the guest experience as well as top and bottom-line results. We do this primarily through audits provided for clients who wish to manage their own spas but require additional support and resources that they do not have internally.

Our spa audits and evaluations are the most thorough in the industry and take into account many criteria that other well-known auditors do not. We currently evaluate using 400 criteria in the following 7 categories: marketing, guest services, experience, facilities, operations, fitness, and membership. We uncover any and all issues affecting your spa’s revenue, performance, and reputation. We then provide you with actionable recommendations in a comprehensive and detailed report.

Why We’re Different... And Better

Identity Hospitality’s audits are widely regarded as the best in the spa and wellness industry. Our rigorous audit program was developed by spa industry professionals with over 25 years of experience in various positions and capacities, such as spa director. We regularly update and adjust our criteria based on the latest science, trends, and industry standards. Perhaps one of the most important differentiating factors is that we developed our criteria as passionate spa-goers.
