Here we look at how small changes in how we use our time can have a powerful impact on long-term wellbeing, and why city spas are uniquely placed to support that shift.
Read full postA sophisticated city gem with a twist. The Municipal Hotel Liverpool - MGallery is in a historic building and is perfect for seductive romantic getaways or a celebratory trip with friends. Here are just a few of the reasons we love it.
Formerly the home of Liverpool City Council, the building that houses The Municipal Hotel has lots of beautiful details that were kept and celebrated in its transformation to a stylish retreat. The city landmark features a famous clock tower with bells that ring a timeless melody, as well as vaulted arches, coffered ceilings, wood panelling and marble fireplaces.
The Seaforth Restaurant is very much the heart of the hotel, serving up global fare and a vibrant atmosphere. However, the Palm Court Bar is also a showstopper, located in a central atrium with spectacular glass ceilings and large palm trees that make you feel like you've stepped into another world. Grab a cocktail and watch the world go by.
The hotel's Thermae Spa is a state-of-the-art sanctuary in the heart of the city, complete with a five bubble rating from the Good Spa Guide. Start with a swim in a pool that enjoys city views. Then prepare mind, body and soul for rest and relation in the sauna, steam room, sanarium, experience showers and a Jacuzzi.
Using a delicious combination of Elemis and Grown Alchemist products in their face and body treatments, the spa has four treatment rooms including a dual suite, in case you want time with your bestie. There's also a nail bar for manicures and pedicures - great for time with friends - and a relaxation room so you can stay and maximise the feel good factor.
Perfectly located for enjoying time in Liverpool, on Dale Street you find yourself in the heart of the city. Amongst the wealth of attractions, why not try a wander around the Royal Albert Dock, exploring The Williamson Tunnels or listening to live music at The Cavern Club (where the Beatles played before they were famous).
