Thermal Spa

You’ll find the combination of heat followed by cold can help to destress, relieve aches, pains and stiff joints, relax your muscles, detox your skin and aid respiration and blood flow. We offer a wide range of traditional thermal bath spa therapies, including:

HAMMAM

A relaxing heated seating area, the Hammam is the perfect introduction to the thermal spa experience and can also be used as space to enjoy in between experiences.

Not available at Kensington and Swiss Cottage

RELAXATION AREA

An oasis of calm. This quiet sanctuary is a designated area for pure relaxation while taking delight in complimentary infused water and fresh fruit.

Not available at Swiss Cottage

SAUNA

A ‘dry’ heat treatment in a wood-lined room with a temperature reaching 90 C, designed to induce perspiration in order to cleanse the body of impurities.

PLUNGE POOL

It is recommended that you alternate heat treatments with brief immersion in the traditional Plunge Pool. Each dip in the icy pool will improve circulation by cooling the body; this can also improve cardiovascular health.

Not available at Epsom, Kensington, Swiss Cottage, Waltham Forest and Welwyn Garden City and Wimbledon

MONSOON SHOWERS

Several jets release scented water, creating contrasting shower experiences. These jets range from a warm tropical downpour to cool water, releasing a fine Scotch mist.

Not available at Swiss Cottage or Welwyn Garden City

ICE FOUNTAIN

The Ice Fountain produces ice flakes to be rubbed on the body which stimulates circulation and facilitates the cooling of the body.

Not available at Belfast, Epsom, Swiss Cottage and Welwyn Garden City and Waltham Forest

HOT ROOMS (TURKISH BATHS)

Based on a system dating back to Roman times, these hot, dry air rooms vary from moderate to intense heats (you can move from the Tepidarium “warm room”, to the Caldarium “hot room” and Laconium “hottest room”) and are designed to relax the muscles and relieve the pain of rheumatism.

Not available at Belfast, Epsom, Kensington, Swiss Cottage, Waltham Forest and Welwyn Garden City and Wimbledon

HYDROTHERAPY POOL

Multiple jets working on different muscle groups to pummel away any stress and fatigue from the body.

Not available at Old Street and Swiss Cottage
