Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London Launches 'Urban Spa Escape'
HONG KONG, December 6, 2006. Perfectly placed in the heart of Knightsbridge, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park has launched its 'Urban Spa Escape' programme for 2007 which includes accommodation in a deluxe room, breakfast and two hours of Holistic time in The Spa at Mandarin Oriental - the ultimate in urban escapism.
Offering guests the opportunity to enjoy a reprieve from the hectic pace of London life is a natural step for Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental was created to provide a haven of tranquillity within the heart of Knightsbridge, combining harmonious design elements with therapeutic rituals - entirely dedicated to the guest's well-being.
Adopting a different approach to the traditional spa experience, the spa encourages guests to book 'Time' rather than specific treatments so that therapists may fully tailor-make each experience, which begins with a recommendation by the spa manager to arrive 45 minutes ahead of the actual treatment. This period of preparation enables all guests to fully immerse themselves in the philosophy of the spa by relaxing within the separate male and female heat and water areas which include; the Sanarium, Amethyst Crystal Steam Room, Vitality Pool, and Colour Therapy Relaxation Room.
After their spa journey, guests can float upstairs to their luxurious room and cocoon themselves within the opulent Victorian furnishing, state-of-the-art entertainment system along with world renowned Mandarin Oriental service, successfully escaping from the outside world.
Priced from GBP 489.00 EXCLUSIVE of VAT, the 'Urban Spa Escape' programme includes:
o Accommodation in a deluxe King bedded room
o Full English breakfast in The Park restaurant with its views of Hyde Park
o Two hours of Holistic Time in The Spa at Mandarin Oriental
o Complimentary use of the state-of-the-art gymnasium
With two award winning restaurants to choose from, there is no need to leave the hotel. Instead, choose from the elegant design and modern European cuisine at Foliage to the more informal Park restaurant offering delicacies from around the globe.
Prices are based on two adults sharing a double room, exclude VAT and discretionary service charge, and are subject to availability. Two hours of 'Time' are available per room, i.e. 1 hour per person, should further 'Time' be desired, supplementary charges apply.
