W London, Away Spa

Describing itself as the place to ‘retox and detox’, the spa and fitness area of the hotel is every inch a feast for the senses. Slick, ultra-modern interiors set the scene as you workout with muscle-toning weights and heart-pounding cardiovascular equipment at FIT on the sixth floor of the hotel overlooking the West End.

Meanwhile, the 100-square-metre AWAY Spa is an energising experience next door to the gym. Complete with a sauna and steam room, it offers a range of red-carpet-ready treatments beloved by celebrities. Using the luxurious Natura Bisse product line, they deliver a wide range of face and body therapies. Here, even the people behind the treatments are well known: tanning is courtesy of industry leader James Harknett; Su-Man is one of the most sought-after facialists in the world, and lash extensions by LASH LONDON are courtesy of Elizabeth Chandler.

In London’s cultural heartland, Soho, the five star W London is a buzzy and vibrant hotel that mixes glitz, glamour and just enough retro style. The hotel’s 192 luxury guest rooms and suites are characterised by bold, playful design complete with city views, a signature W bed and the comfiest pillows designed by the city’s ultimate fashion disrupter, Jack Irving. The height of modern hospitality, spaces are tech savvy as well, with all things controlled by the swipe of an iPad. The vibe here is a self-proclaimed contradictory lifestyle of relaxation and partying.

With that introduction it should come as no surprise that food and drink at W London are exhilarating and energising. The Perception is the luxe lounge style restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as music and live events. Think high ceilings, theatrical lighting and convivial seating alongside innovative cocktails and mouth watering cuisine. If you’re all partied out however, their in-room dining brings gourmet offerings to your door. Just say the word and your wish is their command.
