An expansive rooftop spa overlooking Hyde Park will open at The Metropolitan hotel in London, UK, by the end of 2009.
The project, which will see the addition of a whole new floor to the building, will cover two levels.
The first level will feature six treatment rooms, a glass-roofed reception, a relaxation area and a COMO Shambhala boutique. Also on this level will be a presidential suite with direct access to the spa, which can be sold as three separate bedrooms or as a single unit.
On the mezzanine floor above, there will be a Life Fitness gym and a yoga studio, both with floor-to-ceiling windows offering park views.
There will also be the highest and “possibly largest” whirlpool in London, with room for up to 25 people.
The spa is being designed by Singaporean architect Katherine Kng, in conjunction with Christina Ong, using an abundance of natural materials and glass. A balcony will run around the front and one side of the facility.
