The Gainsborough Bath Spa in Bath, England has launched a new range of spa day packages, opening its natural thermal water spa to guests outside the hotel for the first time.
Packages are available from Monday to Friday and range in price from £140 (US$179, €160) for one person to £280 (US$358, €320) for two.
The spa days feature a spa treatment; access to the gym; a two-course spa lunch; a bath house circuit that features three natural, mineral-rich pools of varying temperatures; a probiotic welcome drink and post-treatment herbal tea; a personalised aromatherapy blending session; aromatic steam room, ice room, infrared and traditional saunas.
“As the only hotel with access to Bath’s unique, naturally warm waters, we are delighted to be able to extend a welcome to all guests,” said Peter Rollins, marketing and communications director for The Gainsborough Bath Spa. “We receive many, many enquiries about access, so it’s wonderful to be in a position to provide this now to everyone.”
The Spa Village is described as a modern-day Roman Bath circuit, in which guests can wander from one room to another and take the waters in luxury, much as the Romans and Georgians did in Bath.
It also includes touches such as a bespoke playlist of traditional classical music compiled by Pump Room violinist Robert Hyman, lavender-infused drinking water, and warm spiced Georgian hot chocolate on tap.
Spa consultant Sylvia Sepielli worked on the new spa at Gainsborough, which is the first UK hotel to be owned and operated by YTL Hotels and which opened last year.
The 99-bedroom hotel was designed by London-based EPR Architects along with New York-based Champalimaud Design in collaboration with a number of other interior designers. Located in a Grade-II listed building, The Gainsborough Bath Spa retains many of its Georgian characteristics, such as marble bathrooms, burl wood inlaid wardrobes and draperies that frame the property’s tall windows.
