THE SPA AT FOUR SEASONS

Perfect for: Panoramic pampering

The lowdown: In 2000, the Four Seasons

hotel on Park Lane added an extra  oor to

the top of the building, which it dedicated

entirely to its spa. So it's no surprise that great

views of the surrounding area are guaranteed

- even in the sauna. Indulgent highlights

include a womb-like, blue-lit space featuring

a plunge pool with an underwater reclining

bench and manually operated jacuzzi jets,

and cosy post-treatment pods with cushions

and sheets to decadently  op upon. The

majority of treatment spaces overlook Hyde

Park, including a couple's room boasting a

(partially smoked) glass wall to gaze through.

Tried and tested treatment: I tried the

Black Diamond Facial, which is tailored

to male skin and uses products from the

HOMMAGE range, containing nutrient-rich

black diamond dust for a thorough exfoliation.

After having my face steamed, exfoliated,

extracted, massaged and moisturised, my

skin felt entirely puri€ ed, while a neck and

shoulder massage was the ideal € nish.

Prices: The Black Diamond Facial costs £125

for 60 minutes.

Other 60-minute treatments start at £125.
