Who says a good gin and tonic is only for the summer? Sometimes a spa break is about detox, but sometimes it's about total indulgence, and what could be more joyful than nursing a drink in a beautiful environment after a day of rest and relaxation? From gin cocktails to a classic G&T, here are some of the most stylish spa gin bars to enjoy post-pamper - one even makes its very own variety!
Head to Bluewater Spa at The Connaught Hotel Bournemouth for contemporary style from the phone-free spa to the four-star hotel. After time spent in the ocean-inspired wellness space, take in views across Bournemouth’s West Cliff amidst the speakeasy stylings of The Connaught Gin Bar. They have over 200 different varieties of gin to tempt your taste buds, hailing from everywhere from Hampshire to the Isle of Wight. We're big fans of the Mermaid - not least because of the name.
Set within the heritage beauty of Gleddoch - Hotel, Spa & Golf, the DRAM Whisky & Gin Bar is an intimate wood panelled bar perfect for enjoying your favourite tipple. Situated amongst 350 acres of glorious Scottish countryside invites you to unwind in enchanting surroundings. Enjoy views over the Clyde Estuary, relax in the heated outdoor spa pool, revel in treatments harnessing the power of pure Scottish seaweed, and after dinner enjoy a quiet drink by the fire. The bar serves an array of over 80 whiskies and 50 gins - they also have a reputation for being able to mix up excellent cocktails of your choice.
Cricklade House Hotel and Fritillary Spa is a truly special experience where every detail has been carefully considered. The Cotswold retreat sits in 30 acres of countryside complete with tranquil gardens and their own golf course. The spa is named for a local flower and is a purpose-built, contemporary haven for rest and rejuvenating therapies. When it comes to wining and dining, the hotel is dedicated to reducing food miles and pollution, even having their own bespoke ‘Cotswold bitter’ made close by. Their bar has a reliable stock of over 100 gins and whiskies to sample - perfect for sitting back and relaxing at the end of the day.
One Spa at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh is a five-star experience all the way. In the UNESCO World Heritage city centre, they have numerous awards for their style and sophistication, and are also part of our luxury Elysium Collection. The state-of-the-art spa and fitness facilities feature everything from a 19-metre indoor swimming pool with infinity edge to a salt room with a colour-changing Himalayan rock salt wall where a fine mist of concentrated salt solution from the Alps is released, encouraging you to relax and breathe deeply. Think that's special? Head to the One Square Brasserie for an elegant take on satisfying foodie favourites, and then to the One Square Bar, where they don't just have more than 100 varieties of gin, but their very own as well. Their One Square Gin is made by hand by Pickering’s at Summerhall Distillery in Edinburgh - cheers!
