Anyone looking for a truly upscale, European spa experience in New Tampa is probably looking again, as Spa Moritz — the European-style spa located in the OrthoTechnology building on Commerce Park Dr. in Tampa Palms (across from Freedom High) — has closed its doors again, apparently for good this time around.
Spa Moritz, which built a loyal following despite changing owners more than once, closed just a few weeks after announcing that physician-directed cosmetic procedures were to be added to the existing massages, facials, hair styling and nail services for which the spa was known. In fact, owners Martin and Patricia Anello hosted a party at the spa for about 50 existing and potential clients to meet with the doctor who was going to provide the expanded services.
At press time of our latest issue, no further information was known about why Spa Moritz closed so abruptly and the Anellos did not respond to multiple messages after the closing of the spa.
OrthoTechnology also has exited the 20,000-sq.-ft. building and a spokesperson for the leasing company trying to fill both spaces says there has been a lot of interest in the building, although nothing was ready to be announced.
