Strassen SPA

Strassen SPA draws bicarbonated mineral water in Strassen, a residential commune in the western suburbs of Luxembourg City, offering urban spa facilities serving the capital's international population of European civil servants, diplomats, and financial industry professionals in the world's wealthiest country per capita, where the demand for quality wellness facilities reflects the high discretionary income and the stress profile of a workforce concentrated in EU institutions and global banking. Luxembourg City's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its extraordinary natural fortifications, the Bock casemates cut into the sandstone cliff above the Alzette valley whose twenty kilometres of underground galleries housed twenty-five thousand soldiers at their maximum in the nineteenth century, lies ten minutes from the spa, making Strassen SPA one of the most conveniently positioned urban wellness facilities in relation to a major European heritage site. The bicarbonated spring water of Strassen flows in a wellness centre whose proximity to the institutions of the European Union, the offices of the European Court of Justice, and the steel and banking headquarters that define Luxembourg's economic identity makes it a spa where the geopolitical and financial weight of the smallest founding member state of the EU is tangible in the clientele's professional identity.
