QT Sydney is giving a fresh, novel twist to the ‘designer spa’ concept and takes on the philosophy that ‘like your mind, your body isn’t static’.

Rather than insisting on a pre-selection of treatments spaQ encourages guests to reserve a block of time and make a treatment selection on the day, using the therapist’s knowledge to fit in with the groove of the individual.

SpaQ is fun and flirty with substance and finesse.
