The Grand in Brighton, UK has completed a £5m (US$7.6m, €5.8m) makeover, which includes a new spa facility offering guests a tranquil retreat.

A session at the new Spa will begin in the thermal suite with saunas, steamrooms and experience showers; followed by a treatment in one of the nine treatment rooms. Treatment programmes include a detoxifying crystal steamroom and aromatherapy sauna, followed by a light bite in The Spa Café.

Therapies to soothe and invigorate the mind and body will be on offer such as Brighton Rock and deep tissue massages, with products supplied by bespoke skincare brand ESPA.

Genevieve Ainsworth, who previously worked with Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, has been appointed to oversee and manage the Spa.

Genevieve said: “I am very excited about the opening of the new Spa at such an iconic hotel and look forward to offering outstanding customer service combined with heavenly face and body treatments within a luxurious and friendly environment.

“I believe this will be 'the Spa' to visit when you need a treat and some pampering to get away from it all.”
