Redefining Relaxation: New Leadership, Fresh Team, and Updated Spa Menu at the Waldorf Astoria Spa Berlin

The Waldorf Astoria Berlin proudly announces the appointment of Nancy Wilke as the new Spa Manager, ushering in a fresh chapter of luxury and refinement at the Waldorf Astoria Spa. Alongside this leadership transition, the spa unveils a revitalized team of experts and a thoughtfully curated treatment menu.

Nancy Wilke has been an integral part of the Waldorf Astoria Berlin since its inception, contributing to the pre-opening team and playing a pivotal role as Assistant Spa Manager during the launch of what was formerly the Guerlain Spa. As of January 2025, she assumes the helm under the Waldorf Astoria Spa brand. With 12 years of dedicated service at the Waldorf Astoria and 17 years of extensive experience within the Hilton Group, Nancy brings a wealth of expertise. Her background in Human Resources and Learning & Development, combined with her formal education in sports and fitness management, positions her perfectly for this leadership role.

Guided by her vision, the 11-member team—comprising skilled spa therapists, receptionists, and trainees—will continue to deliver unparalleled service. Nancy emphasizes a collaborative work environment: “We cultivate our processes collectively, and every team member, regardless of role, is encouraged to contribute to decision-making,” she notes. Her leadership style is distinguished by empathy, transparent communication, and meticulous attention to detail, underscoring her commitment to excellence.

The spa's treatment menu has been thoughtfully refreshed to include opulent rituals, indulgent packages, and signature treatments designed to harmonize body and mind. Among these offerings is the globally acclaimed "Vitality Treatment," celebrated for its profound relaxation and restorative benefits, available exclusively at Waldorf Astoria Spas worldwide. Complementing this is the bespoke Berlin Chic Massage, which integrates local influences, and the innovative Skincare Atelier, where tailor-made beauty treatments are crafted. The spa collaborates with renowned German skincare brand BABOR, recognized for its high-quality, scientifically-backed products.

As the sole Waldorf Astoria Spa in Central Europe, the Berlin location sets new benchmarks in the wellness industry, ranking among Germany's most prestigious spa destinations. Recently honored as “Germany's Best Hotel Spa” for the fourth consecutive year at the 2024 World Spa Awards, this accolade reaffirms the spa's stellar reputation for luxurious wellness services and its unwavering dedication to exceptional guest experiences.
