My friend and I have been to many many Spas before as we like to treat ourselves quite often and the Athenaeum Spa was one of our best experiences.
We had booked ourselves in for a full body deep tissue massage and Ren Facial, the massage was to die for! I personally like the pressure to be quite firm and other place i have been never seem to carryout the perfect pressure however the therapists hands were amazing (just what i needed)
The facial was extremely relaxing and incorperated lovely massage movements to 'help tones and lift the skin'.
When we came out of the treatment we relaxed in the lounge and helped ourselves to complimentary refreshments which was an added bonus.
therapist were very friendly and very happy to help.
Overall, we both had a lovely day and will definately be returning SOON!
Agree with the other reviewers. Again space is at a premium here but it's laid out much nicer than the old setup. I've been there before the spa was re-furb.
Now it's more pleasant and actually brighter looking although I have to say the orange theme running through that place can be a bit too much after you have been there a while. The wan't too much of a relaxing are as it's near the main stairways where the people come down from the main lobby and it's open area so people moving about and entering and leaving the spa will intrude into that relaxing area. They don't have loungers but armchairs instead which also doesn't encourage you to relax after your treatments.
My friend and I went on an opening offer deal and the massage and facial were worth it at that price which was 50% off. I wouldn't pay full price for a facial or massage there as there are other places that does it better at the same price.
The changing room is the pits. It reminds me of those Dove chain spas where their changing facilities are more locker room style. Nothing relaxing at all about this place and the shower cubicle is ridiculous. There is only one shower. And it's like those you find in the dingy studios apartments dotted all around london where they squeeze the shower cubicle almost like in a cupboard. It's actually laughable as someone larger than say a size 16 UK can forget about getting in there as you can barely turn.
However the receptionist and the therapists were extremely well-mannered and carried out their duties very professionally.
This made my day. Honestly! The staff were nice and helpful. I actually loved how everything was in a small confined space. I went with a friend and it made us feel like it was all there just for our personal use. So intimate. We enjoyed everything from using the facilities to the massage. The only thing that probably knocks off a point is that, we were fully awake for our massages and it seemed to be over too quickly. We were meant to have a 1 hour massage but it seemed more like 40-45 mins. And we didn't have the hot towel compress which was listed on our voucher.
Despite that, everything else was so brilliant for us, we left happy, content and relaxed. And looking forward to our next visit. : )
Definitely smaller than I expected but as I was only wanting treatments so this didn't matter. My friend booked a great deal online which only worked out to be £50 each for a facial and a massage each which was a really nice mid-week treat. I'd definitely go on a deal again but not sure I'd pay full price as some of the treatments are quite expensive. We also had lunch after in the restaurant upstairs which I'd definitely recommend.
