Whatever the weather this summer, there can be few finer ways to spend a day than relaxing in a world-class spa, and the opulent five-star Montcalm Hotel in Marble Arch offers exactly that. Step into the hotel spa and you will find a wealth of options including facials, body treatments and massages. There is also a fitness centre for those that like to work up a sweat before relaxing. Relaxation certainly is the word here. Guests can unwind in the jacuzzi or on a heated lounger, or if you prefer, you can swim a few laps in the exercise pool before hopping into the monsoon shower. It is also well worth stopping over at the hotel for a night or two, not just for its prime location in the heart of the capital, but also thanks to the jaw-dropping accommodation itself.

In fact, Montcalm Marble Arch even boasts a place in the top 25 of Tripadvisor’s 2016 awards for London’s best luxury hotel, the best UK hotel and the best service hotel. But the Montcalm in Marble Arch is not your only option when it comes to stunning spa breaks in the capital. Located in the heart of Shoreditch, just a few minutes walk from Old Street Station, you will find The M by Montcalm. The hotel features a spacious gym and aerobics room equipped with the latest technology, including large-screen TVs and Wi-Fi.

It is the M Spa, however, that is the real jewel in the crown here. Decorated with gold leaf tiles, this relaxation haven has everything you would want from a spa, including a pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Then we come to the three treatment rooms. Once inside you can experience a range of treatments and sample some of the world’s finest beauty products. There is also the opportunity for manicures and pedicures, body massages and a whole lot more. And then, to top it all off, once you are finished with your spa getaway you can step out of these hotels and find yourself right in the heart of London.
