Take relaxation underground.
London has many a hotel with a spa, but few celebrate the days of relaxation gone by quite like Aire Ancient Baths. Both an online sensation and tranquil escape, Aire Ancient Baths have reignited the spa styles of the Roman, Greek and Ottoman eras, transforming brick vaults in the basement of a stunning Georgian destination just shy of the Strand.
Corners are luxe and candlelit, as you descend the staircase to a hidden gem of hydrotherapy pools, ice-cold plunge baths, salt-rich swimming and steam rooms.
With 7 baths all at different temperatures, alongside 1 steam room and 9 treatment rooms upstairs, the space is vast, while still celebrating the art of slowing down.
