Park Lane Wellness

There’s no gym at Park Lane Wellness. But if you’ve been working out, it sure does make a luxurious place to recover! Deep tissue massage gets to work on stubborn knots, while the spa offers lymphatic drainage and chiropractic care too. In the thermal suite, try alternating between the Nordic sauna, the steam room and a blast from the experience shower. It’s the kind of hot-and-cold contrast many athletes swear by!

For gentler exercise, Hyde Park is just a few minutes’ walk away. Do a loop of the Serpentine, stroll the famous Rotten Row, or carry on into Kensington Gardens for the Italian Gardens and Kensington Palace. Alternatively, cross Hyde Park Corner into Green Park and on through St James’s Park for a scenic, flat walk that ends up at Buckingham Palace.

Fancy something more adventurous? Hyde Park Stables offers horse rides along Rotten Row all year round, and no experience is needed. In summer, you can brave a dip at the Serpentine Lido or hire a pedalo on the lake. You can also hop on a Santander Cycle to explore the Royal Parks on two wheels. 

Every visit to Park Lane Wellness starts with a welcome drink, and the relaxation lounge is stocked with herbal teas, water and fresh fruit. Book one of the longer packages and coffee, chocolates, biscuits and snacks are added to the mix. Many hammam rituals even come with a glass of traditional Moroccan tea to complete the experience. 

But if you’re in the mood for something more substantial, you’re in luck. Some of London’s most famous restaurants are right on the doorstep. Scott’s on Mount Street has been serving oysters and seafood to Mayfair’s well-heeled since the 1850s, and it’s just around the corner. 

For something more relaxed, the Punch Bowl on Farm Street is a handsome 18th-century pub with proper British cooking. And if afternoon tea is more your thing, Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly is a London institution, while the food hall at Selfridges is perfect for a picnic to take into Hyde Park. 

There’s not a swimming pool in the traditional sense, but there’s something arguably better for unwinding! The thermal suite has a hydrotherapy pool with swan-neck jets to work out the knots, alongside a Nordic sauna and steam room. Pair it with a session in the Moroccan hammam and you’ll be far too relaxed to miss the lengths.

You’ll find it at 3 Park Street, towards the southern end of one of Mayfair’s most elegant streets, running parallel to Park Lane between Hyde Park and Grosvenor Square. Step through the discreet front door and a softly lit marble staircase leads to a calm reception, softened with fresh flowers and a cabinet of skincare to browse. Beyond it, the thermal suite and hammam feel a world away from the bustle outside. 

Hyde Park, Mount Street’s designer boutiques and New Bond Street are all within easy reach, making it the perfect spot for combining a spa visit with lunch, shopping or a wander through the park.

Robes, towels and slippers are all provided, so you just need to pack your swimwear.

The spa recommends arriving around ten minutes before your appointment, so you can settle in and start unwinding without feeling rushed. When you book a spa day, you’ll choose a morning or afternoon slot for your hour in the thermal suite, and your booking confirmation will show your exact times.

Park Lane Wellness is a luxurious day spa, so there are no rooms here. But if you’d like to turn your visit into a Mayfair sleepover, you’re spoilt for choice. The neighbourhood has everything from smart boutique stays to some of the most famous (and bank-busting) hotel addresses in London – and plenty of budget-friendly options are within easy reach.

Unfortunately, due to the structure of the building, the spa isn’t suitable for disabled access. There are stairs just inside the front door and between the spa’s floors, with no lift. If you have any questions, the team will be happy to advise before you book.

Sorry! This is very much a grown-up retreat. Guests must be 16 or over, and 16 to 18-year-olds are welcome when accompanied by an adult and with parental consent.

Hold the doggie hammam! Sadly, pets can’t join you here. 

You won’t find any fairways in Mayfair, but there’s plenty to fill a fun-packed day around your spa visit. Hire a pedalo on the Serpentine in summer, saddle up for a horse ride along Hyde Park’s historic Rotten Row, or browse the galleries of the Royal Academy of Arts. And with Oxford Street and New Bond Street close by, a little retail therapy is never far away.
