Hotel group Mandarin Oriental has announced that Amrican gymnast Simone Biles has joined the brand as its newest celebrity fan and first-ever global wellness ambassador.

As global wellness ambassador, Biles will collaborate with Mandarin Oriental’s Wellness Board, sharing her insights and perspectives with the group’s recognised specialists in lifestyle performance, meditation, movement, nutrition and sleep to help shape future programmes and experiences.

To mark the launch of this long-term partnership, Mandarin Oriental, Milan is now offering two exclusive experiences inspired by Biles through the end of March - the Double-Double Glow, an immersive spa treatment combining cosmetic innovation with advanced thermal techniques to regenerate skin and muscles, and the ‘Champion Chip’ cookie, developed in collaboration with the hotel’s culinary team, offering a balanced sweet expression inspired by Biles’s approach to strength, nourishment and enjoyment.
