The title of Best UK Hotel Spa was awarded to the Utopia Spa at the Rowhill Grange in Dartford.

Aghadoe Heights Hotel in Killarney, Ireland, made it to the final three in the Best Euro Spa category, but lost out to Varbergs Kurort Hotell & Spa, located in southern Sweden.

Amida Spa in Twickenham was awarded the Best UK Day Spa accolade, with Breathing Space in Harpenden, Hertfordshire and The Academy Spa in Harrogate also making it into the top three.

The three-day trade show was held at London’s ExCel and attracted over 44,000 visitors and 400 exhibitors.
