TLEE Spas + Wellness

What TLEE Spas + Wellness does

TLEE Spas + Wellness is a boutique spa design and consulting firm founded in 2010 by Tracy Lee and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The firm operates as a professional services company serving luxury hospitality brands, including Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Auberge Resorts Collection, EDITION Hotels, Waldorf Astoria, Equinox Hotels, Four Seasons, and independent luxury properties, with a portfolio spanning more than 100 projects across North America, Mexico, the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. TLEE delivers end-to-end spa development through six integrated service pillars: Concept + Identity, Design Development, Soft Programming + Menu Design, Immersive Wellness Experiences, Environmental + Sustainability, and Operational Development + Implementation.

The firm's underlying methodology combines licensed architectural expertise with Human-Centered Environmental Design principles, integrating site discovery, wellness programming, thermal bathing expertise, and operational strategy into site-sensitive architectural solutions. Notable proprietary frameworks include a deep Site Discovery Methodology that translates on-site exploration and market insight into project vision and positioning, and an Immersive Wellness Programming approach that extends spa experiences beyond treatment rooms into shared guest experiences. The firm has recently expanded into adjacent verticals, including a tech-enabled wellness destination with Midjourney Inc. and a longevity and regenerative aesthetics concept (bluSONIL) in Scottsdale. TLEE is privately held with no disclosed institutional capital, founder-owned with Tracy Lee now serving on the advisory board, and led operationally by President and Managing Director Jeanine Allpress-Cliffe, who joined in January 2026 following more than 20 years at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. The firm employs approximately 12 people and has no public revenue disclosure.
