Some good news for hotel spa lovers. The highly-anticipated Guerlain Spa at the Regent Bal Harbour is set to open to both hotel guests and outside visitors on the same day as the new hotel's debut. The website is now taking reservations starting January 2, with nightly rates starting at $475. And yes, these are their "exclusive" opening rates.

But you will get a lot for your money. The guestrooms will have an "Asian flair", both ocean and bay views and are accessed by semi-private or private elevators. to ensure the utmost privacy.

The amenities include 52-inch plasma screen televisions, Anichini® linens, free-standing bathtubs set before 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows plus a new contraption we hadn't heard of before, a "toe-tap" groove in the shower for testing water temperature before entering.

The luxury continues over to the hotel's 750-foot beach where guests can choose to dip in the infinity pool or chill in a Roman hot tub or perhaps just kick it in one of the high-tech cabanas complete with TVs, WiFi and mini-bars.

Beach and pool attendants will provide sunscreen, portable DVD players and iPods, iced towels and beverages for carefree relaxation.

Lastly, the main restaurant will be called One Bleu and will dish out contemporary fare, "focusing on savory seafood prepared with a Mediterranean flair."

Oh, and how could we forget the spa? The Guerlain name means the 100,000, 15-room facility uses the products at techniques from the Chakra alliance of spas. Only one other spa of this kind exists in the U.S., and that's at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan.

Though we've learned to be wary about whether or not hotels will stick to their day planner, we're hoping the Floridians are a little more punctual than the New Yorkers up at Hotel Le Bleu and Six Columbus.
