Carden Park Hotel, an upcoming country estate resort in Cheshire, UK, has appointed Steve Ewing as the director of its £10m spa.

An industry veteran, Ewing has previously served as spa director at Cheshire's Mottram Hall and has held various posts with Macdonald Hotels, Mercure and International Hotels.

Part of the opening team, Ewing will be responsible for creating the client journey for the spa, as well as recruiting therapists.

Ewing said: "I am delighted to join the team at Carden Park as I believe that we are working on something really special here. In terms of design and concept it's stunning and will be one of the best destination spas in the UK."

"I am delighted to be involved in the project from this stage and will be working hard over the coming months to bring together a skilled, five-star team to deliver a client journey like no other for all our spa guests," Ewing added.

Hamish Ferguson, general manager at Carden Park, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Steven to Team Carden. He brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge that will strengthen our new offering immensely. As the build progresses we are looking forward to revealing a number of exciting announcements very soon."

The spa, which is expected to open in Q3 2019, is being developed by spa consultant Nicki Kurran, alongside HB Architects, Pave Always Building Contractors and Barr & Wray Interior Design and promises to deliver 'world class spa experiences'.
