Five treatments to enjoy on a London spa break or spa day

When it comes to spa treatments, there is plenty of pampering to enjoy at our London spa hotels. Many of our London spa packages feature one or more optional treatments, usually chosen from a set menu, while some may offer an inclusive treatment. Popular choices include:

• Massage: One of the most popular of all the spa treatments, there are lots of different types of spa massage, from the soothing back, neck and shoulders massage to a Swedish full-body massage or robust deep-tissue massage. Some London spas might even offer a specialist massage, such as with warming hot stones.
• Facial: You will find the option of a facial on many of our London spa breaks and spa days. These popular treatments can be tailored to suit your particular skin to address any issues or to simply pamper and maintain the skin.
• Manicures / pedicures: Both of these are the perfect low-key introduction to spa treatments, offering a touch of luxury and some TLC for the hands or feet. Manicures are great for getting your nails ready for a fab night out in the capital or your toes ready for summer sandals.
• Rasul mud: Offered at select London spa hotels (such as the InterContinental London Park Lane), this relaxing non-therapist treatment involves covering your body in nourishing mud and relaxing in a special steam room before showering, leaving your skin soft and pampered.

Please note that treatment options vary by package, so be sure to check the inclusions before booking. Also, be aware that some treatments may be restricted for pregnant guests or those with certain medical conditions.
