Balance is the new gold: Simone Biles becomes Mandarin Oriental's first Global Wellness Ambassador

A strong sign of physical strength, mental resilience and contemporary luxury

With Simone Biles, the Mandarin Oriental luxury hotel group is not only gaining the most successful female gymnast of all time , but also one of the most influential voices of her generation for modern wellbeing. The long-term partnership positions Mandarin Oriental as a global authority on holistic wellbeing - understood as the interplay of physical strength, mental health, regeneration and balance.

In her new role, Simone Biles will work closely with the Group's Wellness Board. Together with international experts from the fields of performance optimization, meditation, exercise, nutrition and sleep she will help develop future programs and experiences. She will also support global communications and innovative wellness initiatives in line with the brand's evolving strategy.

Biles made her official debut at Mandarin Oriental, Milan . A symbolic moment in her personal and professional development. "Wellness goes far beyond physical performance," says Biles. "Regeneration, mental strength and balance are crucial."

To kick off the partnership, the hotel is presenting two exclusive experiences in Milan until the end of March: the spa treatment "Double-Double Glow" , which combines heat techniques, deep massage and a "Glass Skin" facial, and the "Champion Chip" cookie - a balanced sweet creation inspired by Biles' approach to strength and indulgence.

Social commitment is also part of the cooperation: together with Laureus Sport for Good, Simone Biles and Mandarin Oriental want to promote the transformative power of sport.
