VIBE

Asian-inspired bamboo and teak decorations with gray slate walls lend a chic, relaxed feel to the spa. Despite being small, there are still the basic amenities such as a sauna, steam room, and relaxation room, all done very well, which isn’t surprising as this is an ESPA-designed spa.

GO HERE WITH

Yourself; friends; significant other–the Harmony Room allows you to share the experience with either a friend or a loved one.

WHY WE LIKE IT

It’s a stylish, cool spot, and despite being extremely relaxing, you still feel a little energized. This is a good spa for several friends to go together, i.e., you won’t feel compelled to speak in whispers here.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

Perhaps a few more treatment rooms, although the intimate size is a nice touch.

GOOD TO KNOW

There are only seven treatment rooms and a double treatment room (Harmony Room). Rooms are soundproofed for the ultimate in silence during your treatments. This is part of the ESPA spa group. Also, the spa is located in the Renaissance Hotel (aka Chancery Court Hotel), so don’t be confused if you hear that.
