Unique spa experiences
There are a number of impressive experiences to enjoy such as the Caribbean Storm and Arctic Rain showers, but the pièce de résistance are the relaxation areas. Here, you can choose to rediscover sleep in a hanging pod cocoon, an ergonomic sleep chamber or a sound cancelling egg chair.
Beautiful spa treatments
The spa is complete with a range of spa treatments from brands including Caudalie (famed for harnessing the healing powers of the vine), Spanish skincare line Germaine De Cappucini, results driven Crystal Clear, and the famed Jessica Nails.

A central London location
The spa’s location makes it an exceptional place for a weekend in Manchester. At the heart of the city, it’s within easy reach of everything that Manchester has to offer from shops and museums to bars and nightlife. That said, it’s also got an excellent reputation for its own restaurant - Adam Reid at The French.
An adult-only hotel and spa
The hotel and spa are both adult only, making it perfect for a romantic weekend away. Interiors are chic and seductive, brimming with jewel tones, textured fabrics and mood lighting. Little wonder it’s played host to kings, queens, prime ministers and rock stars alike.
