ASHEVILLE, NC - June 27, 2013 - Innovative Spa Management (ISM) is pleased to announce the addition of two new spas to its growing roster. The Living Spa at El Monte Sagrado Resort, in Taos, New Mexico and reNew, the spa at the James Royal Palm Hotel, Miami, FL, have both retained the company for consulting and spa management services.

Ranked as the number 26 spa by Conde' Nast in May 2013, the Living Spa provides award-winning services at the El Monte Sagrado Resort, surrounded by the natural beauty of Taos, New Mexico. The Living Spa has retained ISM to incorporate the spa into the overall guest experience, to enhance their current spa services, and provide consulting and operations management.

ISM also welcomes reNew, the spa at the James Royal Palm Hotel in Miami, FL to its clientele list. ISM was responsible for the development of the recently-opened spa's concept and has procured products, provided pre-opening services, and is now managing the spa's operations. Inspired by the ocean's restorative properties, reNew is unique in its focus on treatments using the locally abundant ingredient of salt, an element essential to healing and replenishing the body. The spa is also the first of its kind to offer The Mindful Waves treatment, originally developed as a relaxation and focus exercise for Olympic athletes.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Living Spa and reNew to our collection of spas, and look forward to working with these amazing properties,” said Ilana Craig Alberico, founding partner of ISM. “We are confident in our ability to help each spa realize its unique potential, as well as increase its profitability and enhance the core business of the property.”

The Living Spa and reNew join ISM's client list of other high-profile spa properties, including Spa Biltmore, the Inn on Biltmore Estate; Poseidon Spas, Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville, NC & Orlando, FL & Savannah, GA; Cypress Spa, Marriott's Cypress Harbor and Ceiba de Mar Beach & Spa Resort, Puerto Morelos, Riviera Maya, Mexico, among others.

ISM provides conceptual and strategic planning, feasibility assessments, spa consulting, design, and ongoing five-star spa management that supports the overall vision of the property while increasing value and profitability.
