A Grade II-listed city centre hotel in Newcastle has completed the latest stage of its £1.2m development programme with the opening of beauty retreat All About You.

The spa at Grey Street Hotel will be offering facials, massages and spray tans.

Skin and body treatments using the Elemis product range and OPI manicures and pedicures will also be available, as will other brands Delilah and Lycon.

The venue comprises three treatment rooms, a nail bar, a pedicure station and a make-up area on a mezzanine level.

Elaine Beattie, All About You owner, said: “Customers can call in after work and enjoy a soothing stress busting massage before heading home, or pop in with their friends for a manicure and makeover before they head off for a night on the town.

“We also hope people visiting the town centre for a day’s shopping will build us into their plans.”

The development of the hotel, which is owned by Malhotra Group plc, has included refurbishment of its 49 bedrooms, an extension, and development of the main conference room and a smaller meeting room.
