Nothing spells luxury and excellence than Canada’s Langdon Hall, nestled within the Carolinian Forest. Langdon Hall is one of 14 properties in Canada recognized by Relais & Châteaux for a standard of excellence and has a reputation for leading with incredible five-diamond dining experiences, exquisite accommodations and storybook architecture.

 

 

The Spa at Langdon Hall is a peaceful country oasis that features a stellar selection of Swiss luxury brand Valmont. Julie Simcox, Spa Director, and her team offer a safe environment to revive, rejuvenate, and replenish. Valmont prides itself on being the master of anti-age treatments since 1985, and the unique expertise of Swiss cellular cosmetics with efficient care treatments give immediate, long-lasting results.

Julie Simcox gives us the tea on her favourite products and services offered at Langdon and how Valmont sets out to offer ultimate luxury.

 

     

1. Hi Julie, thank you for sitting with us today. Could you briefly introduce yourself and Langdon Hall?

I started out in the spa industry when I graduated 24 years ago, and I've been at Langdon Hall for 13.5 years!

Langdon Hall has it all. Five diamond dining, beautiful rooms, a new Spa, all within acres of the Carolinian Forest

 

2.      What makes the Valmont Spa at Langdon Hall so special?

My personal favourite part of Valmont Spa is the quality of the products.

The experience of the quality of the treatments stood out from the first time I received a Valmont facial. Once you have it, you never want another.

 

3.      What is the most luxurious treatment at the spa, and how would you describe it?

The Elixir facial because of the use of the ultra-hydrating and anti-aging products, the results are immediate, not to mention it’s the ultimate pampering service.  

 

4.      Why do you think Valmont was a perfect match for this property?

Langdon Hall formed a partnership with Valmont around 12 years ago and was just the perfect fit. It didn’t start out to be exclusive but soon moved organically to that. We share the same commitment to customer service, and quality and our companies have the same family-run feel to them.

 

 

5.      What is your favourite treatment and why?

My personal favourite facial is the Peaks of Firmness.

 

6.      What is your must-have Valmont product?

The Collagen Mask immediately helps soothe the skin and smooth out any fine lines.

 

7.      If you were to pamper yourself with an overnight stay at Langdon, which room resonates with you the most? 

I’ve been lucky to stay at Langdon Hall a few times. I absolutely adore staying in the main house. I think because the Spa has always been in the Cloister building, I’m very familiar with those rooms and like to stay in the main house instead. The Attic suites are so charming.

 

8.      What makes Langdon Spa stand out as a go-to spa destination in Ontario?

Guests can expect relaxation and a friendly welcoming, experienced team with the addition of our gardens, our 10k of walking trails and amenities on the property. 

 

9.      Describe the Valmont Spa at Langdon Hall in 3 words.

Relaxing, Luxurious, Welcoming.

 

10.      What can guests expect from Langdon Spa in 2022?

 

In 2022 we'll have exciting new & improved facials from Valmont performed by quality.

Estheticians who are given the best training by Valmont and our Esthetics Trainer Laurie are ready to introduce our clients to these enhanced treatments.
