ESPA has created Peninsula Ceremonies, a collection of customized two-hour treatments exclusively for The Peninsula Hotels. The signature Ceremony is the Deep Tissue Experience, a therapeutic massage with a vigorous, free-flowing joint release technique.

The Spa is the flagship spa for ESPA in the U.S. and the latest to open as part of the Peninsula Wellness program.
