Kensington Riverside Inn is excited to announce a partnership with skoah®, a Canadian skin-care and wellness company, to offer in-room amenity products. Kensington Riverside Inn is following the lead of Hotel Arts, another member of their parent company Hotel Arts Group. Hotel Arts was the first hotel in Canada to begin offering skoah® products to in-house guests last year.
Kensington Riverside Inn features four skoah® products in their guestrooms including invigor-mint shampoo and conditioner and pep talk body wash and lotion. The high-quality products have an appealing peppermint scent. Kensington Riverside Inn has implemented the products in tasteful dispensers, offering a stylish and green alternative to individual, travel sized bottles. The custom dispensers allow the Inn the opportunity to eliminate considerable packaging and waste, another step in supporting environmentally-friendly initiatives wherever possible.
The uniquely personalized approach of skoah® is a perfect extension of Kensington Riverside Inn’s offerings. The partnership highlights both brands commitment to deliver individualized service to their customers with a refined yet approachable attitude.
“Providing skoah® in-room amenities is just another example of how Kensington Riverside Inn enhances guest experiences,” says Hilary Lewis, Rooms Operations Manager at Kensington Riverside Inn. “Beyond our promise of providing exceptional service in a discerning environment, we look to extend opportunities for well-being and relaxation to our guests which is why skoah®’s commitment to healthy skin through natural products is a wonderful fit for the Inn.”
As Calgary’s only Relais & Châteaux designated property, Kensington Riverside Inn delivers unique experiences to its guests that are inspired by a deep connection to the local community and culture. To this end, the Inn has extended its partnership with skoah® to include a spa package, ‘Refresh with skoah’. The package will feature a treatment at skoah®’s location in the heart of the Kensington, just around the corner from the Inn. In addition, the package will include luxury accommodation, a skoah® amenity package and a culinary credit to be used on the sunny patio, in the fireside lounge, or at Chef’s Table, the award-winning onsite restaurant.
“At Kensington Riverside Inn we provide guests with more than a hotel stay, it’s all about the experience,” comments Lewis, “Introducing skoah® only enhances that experience, highlighting local products and showcasing something guests won’t find elsewhere.”
