Premier five-star hotel, Sofitel Queenstown, is redefining luxury by taking its ultimate bath experience to a whole new level.

Guests can now savour the services of a dedicated 'Bathologist' who will draw a bath and pre-prepare it to suit any mood, complete with bath pillow, robe and slippers - all laid out with a fresh flower.

"Guests can choose from our signature blend of essential oils to soothe, embrace and revitalise," said Sofitel Queenstown general manager Mark Wilkinson.

"It's a truly relaxing experience and we're already receiving rave reviews of the gorgeous Bathologist service."

Three Bathology packages offer guests the chance to pamper the body and soothe away tension in therapeutic bubbling water.

Options include 'Tranquility', featuring lavender, frankincense, chamomile, mandarin, bergamot and ylang ylang essential oils to calm the mind and emotions, and lift the spirits. This package comes complete with cooling eye mask, herbal tea, mineral water or French champagne.

A 'Unity' packages features exotic oriental scents of sandalwood, clove bud, ylang ylang, lime, myrrh and patchouli to promote relaxation, and encourage intimacy and communication. Unity comes with French champagne, rose petals, chocolate dipped strawberries and soulful tunes.

'Clarity' is infused with petitgrain (pronounced petty-gran), lime, lemongrass, mandarin, sweet orange and neroli fragrances to refresh the mind and body, boost the immune system and tone skin. An exfoliating body scrub, refreshing eye mask and herbal tea accompany this experience.
