Located within the five-star hotel, Raffles London, the Guerlain Spa is a 27,000sq ft urban sanctuary set over four floors and created in partnership with its famous French namesake. Perfect for a romantic spa day or a celebration with friends, it's a city-centre destination that combines the best of heritage and modern wellbeing.
In what was once Whitehall’s Old War Office building, known today as The OWO, Raffles London is an exquisite hotel where the halls were once wandered by the likes of Sir Winston Churchill and James Bond creator, Ian Fleming. Today, in style and substance, it continues to honour its past but has an eye firmly on the future as well.
The brand new Guerlain Spa is a vast urban sanctuary set over four floors. Created with the famous French perfume, cosmetics, and skincare house, which is amongst the oldest in the world having been founded in 1828, it carries all the finesse you would expect from such an illustrious brand.
Styled by interior design studio Goddard Littlefair, the spa offers the height of wellbeing and luxury with exemplary facilities including a 20-metre indoor swimming pool, a Vitality pool, sauna, steam room, experience showers, and a state-of-the-art gym and movement studio.
The spa's luxurious treatment rooms and VIP treatment suites (one single and two double) have private showers, changing facilities and soaking tubs. Here therapists work with the Guerlain product collection to offer a range of face and body therapies, including those designed specifically for Raffles London. Favourites deliver transformative results whilst resynchronising and rebalancing. To complete the experience there's also the Guerlain Atelier for express beauty treatments, make-up and fragrance.
