The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair

Spear's Review

The soothing and stylish wellness space at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is a testament to interior design studio Curiosity’s philosophy, seamlessly blending nature-inspired aesthetics with high-tech facilities. 

At its heart, the basement spa is an expansive retreat that boasts a 25m pool, complemented by a sauna, vitality pools, experience showers, steam rooms and a state-of-the-art gym – an impressive offering for a boutique hotel with just 50 rooms.

The spa’s signature treatment, ‘Natural Time For You’, offers a 90-minute or two-hour customised pampering session. Guests are guided by skilled therapists to create personalised treatments – relaxing, restorative, hydrating, toning or balancing – tailored to specific concerns.

During a Spear’s visit, a member of staff explains: ‘We’re going back to that concept of buying time. Guests can simply tell us, “I have two hours, I feel stressed, my skin is tight, my shoulders are sore,” and we’ll create a solution to meet their needs.’
