在布鲁塞尔老城中心的一个拱形地窖里，Bath & Barley是设计工作室WeWantMore对捷克传统啤酒温泉的最新演绎。啤酒温泉提供啤酒浸泡的温泉护理，最引人注目的是啤酒浴，客人在混有啤酒花、麦芽和药草的水中浸泡。

Set in a vaulted cellar in the old city centre of Brussels, Bath & Barley is an updated take on a traditional Czech beer spa from design studio WeWantMore.Beer spas offer beer-infused spa treatments, most notably beer baths where guests soak in water mixed with hops, malt and medicinal herbs.

据当地的WeWantMore公司称，Bath & Barley是比利时第一个啤酒水疗中心，为传统的日间水疗中心提供了一种现代的方式。"啤酒水疗在捷克共和国是一种传统，但在比利时不是，尽管我们国家有丰富的啤酒文化，"该工作室解释说。

Bath & Barley is the "very first" beer spa in Belgium, according to local practice WeWantMore, offering a modern take on the traditional day spas."Beer spas are a tradition in the Czech Republic but not in Belgium, despite our nation's rich beer culture," the studio explained.

"我们注意到，大多数捷克的啤酒温泉更像是啤酒而不是温泉，大多是黑暗、大量的霓虹灯和整体的酒吧氛围，"该工作室补充说。"这不是我们对舒缓健康体验的想法。""相反，我们决定创造一种放松和亲密的感觉，但与Bath & Barley的特点相联系：啤酒、沐浴和比利时的啤酒。"

"We noticed that most Czech beer spas are more beer than spa – dark, lots of neon and an overall pub vibe," the practice added. "This wasn't our idea of a soothing wellness experience.""Instead, we decided to create a sense of relaxation and intimacy, but with a link to what distinguishes Bath & Barley: beer, bathing and Belgium's beer."

为了实现这一愿景，工作室采用了石灰灰泥、木材和稻草等原始自然材料，以及铜和彩色玻璃，以唤起比利时中世纪的啤酒酿造文化。水疗中心分为两层，橡木浴缸依偎在地下室的拱顶上，并以生啤酒机为框架，客人可以在那里为自己倒上一品脱。

To realise this vision, the studio drew on a palette of raw natural materials such as lime stucco, wood and straw, alongside copper and stained glass to evoke Belgium's medieval beer brewing culture.The spa is split across two floors, with the oak bathtubs nestled into the vaulted basement and framed by draft beer machines, where guests can pour themselves a pint.

据WeWantMore称，在沐浴仪式结束后，客人可以使用水疗中心的桑拿房，或在铺有楼梯扶手的休息室上休息，让他们与大自然联系起来。"这种设计支持社会福利，并创造了一个独特的逃离日常繁忙生活的场所，"WeWantMore说。

After the bathing ritual, guests can use the spa's sauna or rest on a staw-upholstered lounge that allows them to "connect with nature", according to WeWantMore."The design supports social wellbeing and creates a unique escape from the daily rush," WeWantMore said.

水疗中心的接待处位于一楼，由弯曲的铜板包裹，类似于传统比利时酿酒厂使用的水壶。干大麦悬挂在石制品尝台的天花板上，客人可以品尝各种啤酒，并选择他们想添加到浴缸中的啤酒花。

The spa's reception is located one level up on the ground floor and is wrapped in curved copper sheets to resemble the kettles used in traditional Belgian breweries.Dried barley hangs from the ceiling above a stone tasting counter, where guests can taste a variety of beers and select the hops they want to add to their bath.
