With its enviable location straddling prestigious Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Mayfair, The Lanesborough Club & Spa is the exclusive lifestyle club for the modern Londoner, providing members with a “luxury club for life.” Following a health-challenged two years, the club and spa has now opened the doors to its exceptionally appointed gym for the first time to day guests wishing to reboot and kick-start a healthier lifestyle, or simply maintain and push their fitness goals, to experience a brand-new HIIT & Healthy program with an award-winning personal trainer.
With the gym previously only available to club members, the one-day program begins with a delicious healthy breakfast in The Lanesborough Club & Spa Restaurant – a delectable way to fuel for a morning of exercise – followed by a revitalizing HIIT class in the ultra-chic, mirror-lined gym. The facility is complete with the latest gym technology and high-performance equipment, providing the optimum environment for building strength, stamina and fitness. Guests can then enjoy a one-hour personal training session with Irfan Ahmed, the club and spa’s incredibly popular, award-winning and highly sought-after instructor. As an amateur boxer, Ahmed became Britain’s youngest Olympic boxing medalist after winning a silver medal in the lightweight division at the 2004 Olympics at the age of just 17. NSCA certified, having completed the coveted Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) program, Ahmed will work his magic to create a bespoke workout that truly enhances both the body and mind.
Following a morning of heart-pumping activity, it is then time to savor a nutritious lunch in the restaurant, before retreating for some well-deserved R&R in the spa’s award-winning facilities. Breathtaking in design and uncompromising in its unique treatment variety, there are four single treatment rooms, as well as a double treatment room boasting a double shower and Rasul – an Arabian-inspired thermal cleansing ritual. The club and spa spans a total 18,000 square feet and day guests can relax in the various thermal suites and hydrotherapy pool. Spa butlers are on hand to provide a personalized spa journey and concierge service throughout. To complete the day, the package includes a 60-minute spa treatment of choice. Offering a 360 degree approach to wellbeing, the club and spa is proud to partner with the world’s leading brands and experts in the fields of health, fitness and beauty – including best in British, “beyond organic” skin and heart care brand, Ila, and “Queen of Green Beauty,” Tata Harper, marking her first spa partnership in the UK.
The Lanesborough Club & Spa is also delighted to introduce a brand-new and exclusive partnership with The Luxury Aesthetics Group. Members, hotel guests and day spa visitors will now be able to sample carefully curated facial treatments, with one designed solely for the hotel.
One will be able to choose from a number of deeply relaxing, cleansing and revitalizing HydraFacials, each utilizing a unique, pain-free Vortex-Fusion delivery system that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. In consultation with expert therapists, and by tailoring each treatment to target individual skin concerns, the facials involve a six-step process of applying “super serums” filled with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid, to give the skin a radiant glow.
Created just for The Lanesborough Club & Spa, there will also be its very own bespoke 90-minute HydraFacial which, in addition to the signature six-step process, incorporates additional LED light therapy, electro muscular stimulation (EMS) technology and a 24-carat gold mask. Set to be London’s most unique HydraFacial experience, LED light therapy will be administered to target and reduce aging and wrinkles, before a lymphatic drainage massage and EMS technology are used to firm, contour and lift the face, to deliver what many consider to be the most effective non-surgical facelift. The final step in the process is the luxury liquid 24-carat gold face mask, which has been proven to reduce inflammation and decrease cell degradation to leave the skin feeling youthful and rejuvenated. Spa-goers will also be able to experience skin peel treatments, designed to help create a smooth and radiant complexion with an even and balanced tone, as well as restorative procedures aimed at tightening and firming the skin with advanced micro-needling technology – a popular alternative to cosmetic surgery.
“The Luxury Aesthetics Group is delighted to partner with The Lanesborough to ensure one of the world’s most exclusive hotels continues to offer its guests and members the most up-to-date and carefully curated facial treatments,” said Shireen Forster, the CEO of The Luxury Aesthetics Group and HydraFacial ambassador.
“We are delighted to welcome these advanced technologies to our offering at The Lanesborough Club & Spa,” said Susan Morrissey, general manager of The Lanesborough Club & Spa. “Our clients are increasingly seeking luxury, results-driven facials, and these impressive treatments enable us to provide them with just that. Each facial is tailored to suit individual skin concerns and needs, meaning guests will be able to see truly targeted results!”
The signature HydraFacial is priced at £275 and the SW Ultimate HydraFacial is priced at £475. Rates for The Lanesborough Club & Spa’s HIIT & Healthy package start from £510 per person.
