One Spa, Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa

recommended by Jane Anderson
One Spa, Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa

One, at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa can lay claim to being one of Europe’s most advanced city spas. Nestling in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle and just minutes walk from the city’s famous Princes Street, this six-storey building has three split-level areas of spa and is connected to the hotel via an elevated glass walkway. The spa has a holistic approach – the treatments, heat and hydro experiences, fitness activities, relaxation methods and spa cuisine – making for a truly rounded spa experience. Facilities include a state of the art gym, a 19-metre ozone swimming pool with infinity edge, 11 multi purpose treatment rooms, hydrotherapy room and exotic Thermal Suite with a range of hot and cooling experiences which relax the body and soothe aching muscles. One Spa’s trump card is its rooftop hydropool, a stainless steel pool cut into the top of the building with spectacular views of the Edinburgh skyline. Dramatically lit at night, the 35 degree mineral rich water evaporates into a soft mist in the air above the outdoor pool.

ESPA has created a treatment concept for One Spa which merges different techniques and philosophies from across the world into a blend of treatments. Spa goers can choose from an assortment of traditional therapies gathered from China, Bali, India and Europe, bound together with contemporary spa practices. The spa puts a continued focus on personalising treatments and programmes to suit the individual’s needs on any given day. The Ayurvedic influenced treatments empower spa therapists with techniques to identify personality types, physical characteristics and the guest's emotional balance. The gym uses the Technogym ‘Key System’ which stores each member’s individual fitness programmes and works out personal goals. In addition, Scotland’s top fitness and lifestyle consultant, Iaian Bell provides nutrition and stress management workshops. Beneath the spa is the internationally acclaimed Italian restaurant Santini and Santini Bis which offers authentic Italian cuisine.

Highlights

  • A glass of champagne while soaking in the outdoor hydrotherapy tub overlooking the rooftops of Edinburgh and surrounding hills. Even better if it’s typical Scottish weather – a light drizzle – to contrast the warmth and luxury.
  • The two aromatic Cleopatra Baths, part of a relaxation area of the ozone swimming pool.
  • The Thermal Suite with its Hammam, Aroma Grotto, Rock Sauna, Bio Sauna, Tepidarium, Laconium and Lifestyle showers. If all that doesn’t get you feeling rejuvenated, there may be no hope!
