Award winning

The Spa at InterContinental London

London

InterContinental London – The O2 has added a large main pool, a vitality pool, and a steam and sauna room, to complement its gym, massage and therapy rooms. The facilities allow the hotel to offer the entire spa experience from swimming and exercise to relaxation and treatments.

The award-winning pool and vitality pool were built on the ground floor, rather than the basement, to ensure the space is light and airy. The bespoke design includes a 17 x 7 metres and 1.2 metres deep pool with a waterfall that cascades from the pool and spa dividing wall.

The vitality pool is a bespoke concrete design measuring 4.4 x 2.7 metres with a lounger at each end of the central bench. The loungers have air massage jets, and the bench has both back and calf water/air mixture jets for relaxing massages. Two AstralPool neck-jet water cannons send bursts of water into the spa pool.

The pool interior has been finished with Waxman Ceramic blue mosaic tiles, and underwater lighting is by Eva Optic. To complete the tranquil atmosphere, the pool and spa surround has been finished with large format porcelain tiles in a creamy colour.

The plantroom is equipped with Astral Arctic filters and Badu pumps which maintain pool functionality at optimum performance. An automatic backwash system was retrofitted to make backwashing easy.
