RAKxa

At the base of Aspen Mountain, the 14,250 SF spa at The St. Regis Aspen Resort draws inspiration from both the Colorado alpine landscape and the original RAKxa wellness retreat outside of Bangkok, marking the brand’s first U.S. location. A natural palette of greens, buffs, and browns connects the interiors to the surrounding mountains, while plush, oversized furnishings create a quiet sense of calm throughout.

The circular entry establishes the spa’s immersive atmosphere. A reception desk clad in smooth and split-face stone references nearby alpine rock formations, while a custom chandelier of ascending crescent forms floats overhead. Curved architectural walls, custom seating, and an ombre green crescent rug reinforce the fluid geometry of the space.

Beyond the entry, the Oxygen Lounge features a curved custom sofa backed by traditional Fah Lai wood panels with integrated LED lighting, a signature RAKxa detail. Floor-to-ceiling Raydoors separate the lounge from a more secluded Private Lounge, where custom Minotti daybeds and ombre drapery create an intimate retreat. A limestone-clad fireplace adds warmth and texture, while oxygen treatments are discreetly integrated into each seating area. The fireplace is detailed with textured natural white limestone. The renovation also includes seventeen treatment rooms, a pool, hot tub and cold plunge areas, retail space, and a gym — a comprehensive wellness environment designed around rest, recovery, and renewal.

RAKxa at The St. Regis Aspen also marks an important milestone for Rowland+Broughton, serving as a prelude to the firm’s next collaboration with the brand: the North American flagship RAKxa at Redstone Castle.
