Let’s be honest, London is hectic. Between the packed Tube and endless emails, sometimes you just want to forget all about the hustle and bustle and switch off and book in for a massage.

Luckily, quite a few hotels around the capital are well equipped to make this happen. Some come with hot tubs, saunas, pools and rain showers, while others have sprawling treatment menus offering everything from massages and facials to more elaborate, high-tech treatments. And, because they’re attached to hotels, you can often make a proper day of it, whether that means spending a few hours lounging by the pool or booking a treatment and sticking around for lunch afterwards. Or best of all, booking in for a night's stay. These lovely hotels all have their own distinctive on-site spas. So whether you fancy a traditional hammam treatment, a relaxing swim, a fancy facial or simply a few hours of doing absolutely nothing, there’s a place for you.

What do we mean by a spa hotel?

A spa hotel in London isn’t quite the same as a spa resort – you won’t find sprawling grounds or week-long wellness retreats here. Instead, these city boltholes combine stylish accommodation with exceptional spa facilities, so you can slip from sightseeing to a sauna in minutes. On our list, you’ll find the London hotels we’ve visited with standout spas – places that make it worth checking in just for the treatments, pools and pure relaxation.
