Alexander House Hotel & Utopia Spa at Alexander House Hotel 4.5 3 reviews

After joining Wahanda, my first priority is to give this hotel and spa the praise I feel it so deserves. My friend and I have been doing regular spa days as our outlet for having babies/toddlers and we've tried many places, usually not to full satisfaction......

We first visited Utopia Spa at Alexander House Hotel for a day offer with lunch and two treatments and simply walking into the foyer, we knew we were now spoilt for all the other establishments that came before. We had such a luxurious day, with beautiful spa facilities and the feeling that you were cared for but left alone. This is a beautiful hotel, lovingly cared for and no hint of shabbiness anywhere. even though in the luxury bracket, there is also no sign of the snobbery that can immediately snaffle relaxation.

So we excitedly booked to come back for their overnight offer, which was very little extra. I really wouldn't do the day offer again when staying over is such good value. We paid a bit more for a suite and wanting the feeling of 'luxury institutionalisation' we so love, got into our robes immediately and padded around without clothes for the next 24 hours. The deal is 3pm to 3pm so you feel like you have a full second day in the spa.

Our deal included dinner to the value of £35 each, which we chose to have in our room (in our robes of course) with an embarrassing choice of chick-flick DVD; we were nearly crying with delight with this simple pleasure and a good glass of wine!

I could go on but clearly my five stars come from the combination of quality, attention to detail and laid-back but efficient ambiance they've got going on here. That would have us coming back alone, but the inky water of the black-tiled swimming pool and generously sized hydrotherapy pool have me dreaming about the next time........it's hard to find that quality of spa facilities in Sussex.

I am so glad that I live close to this spa hotel, I have been alone, with friends and have taken my mum.
It is my winter treat and would highly recommend it.

Public Areas - Hotel had several fantastic rooms where you could chill out . All rooms were well maintained and decorated. There staff never hounded you but were at hand if assistance was needed.

The Grounds - Well laid out and kept but not extensive. Was an out door whirl pool in the garden which one could only really enjoy on a very hot summers day. Could do with a better link between the building and pool and a cover to maximise use.

Spa Area - was very pleasant and relaxing. The price of treatments was steep so we only enjoyed the included facilities.

Bedrooms - Were fantastic . No expense spared in decoration and interior design. All rooms were unique in terms of colours and choice of fabric and even size.

Food - We booked half board and had expected to be shown to a formal dining room. Sadly this was not the case and ate at the braisserie (excuse spelling). WHilst the food was very edible the abiance and dinning style spoiled the experience.

Generally really enjoyed the stay there mainly due to the sense of luxuary, professionalism of staff and shigh standards experienced. Would higly recommend it.
