What are the best treatments at The Beaumont Spa?
I think it would be fair to say that with a spa of this quality, you couldn’t go wrong with any treatment. My hot stone massage was amazing and I felt so relaxed afterwards. If I’d been staying longer I definitely would have added on a full hammam treatment, maybe added in a facial and I always love having reflexology.
What was the spa treatment room like?
No surprise, excellent. Beautifully appointed with a super-comfortable massage bed and a very simple but surprisingly comfortable face rest. Temperature was perfect as was the relaxing music, and was simply designed but so in keeping with the rest of the spa, similar tones and style.

The Beaumont Spa at The Beaumont Hotel Mayfair Spa Review
My treatment was excellent, a really great therapist and performed so expertly. The hour passed quickly, but I felt so relaxed afterwards and there were regular (but not too frequent) check-ins about massage pressure, room temperature and the music level etc. A really fantastic treatment and left with a real feeling of relaxation afterwards, where I then spent some time in the thermal suite area.
Spa facilities to enjoy during your stay
You entered the spa from the level below reception, down an amazing staircase with the incredible Art Deco artwork and style, before going through chrome and glass doors polished to perfection. There was a small reception area adjacent to the large, very well-equipped, gymnasium and where I completed a short questionnaire about the treatment. This main area also had the hair salon and the men’s grooming suite. Down a white tiled corridor were ladies and gents changing rooms, then entry into the thermal suite, which you would pass through to get to the treatment rooms.
The thermal suite had a sauna, steam room, a cold plunge pool and automatic ice dispenser to cool down between heat treatments. Apart from the wooden sauna, the whole room was designed in the similar Art Deco style - small white mosaic tiles interspersed with black mosaic designs, chrome fittings, white leather and chrome recliners, with chrome and glass tables and a selection of magazines to read. A chrome and glass trolley had chilled water.

Changing facilities
Although quite small, like everything within the spa (and indeed the hotel itself) they were fitted out to the highest of luxury standards, but still very in keeping with that traditional Art Deco historic vibe. There were jade green lacquered doors, tobacco leather ottomans, marble and gleaming chrome; not to mention a copious amount of pristine white fluffy towels and excellent toiletries in the showers and for hand wash use by D.R. Harris & Co. If you’d forgotten anything else, they would have it either in the changing rooms themselves (like deodorant, mouthwash, hand cream, body lotion etc. or things like combs, razors, shaving foam etc. was available from the spa reception).
In each locker there was a pure white waffle robe (nice, but the ones in the bedrooms and suites were even better - towelling inside, but a beautiful cotton on the outside). This was also set out with a pair of sandals for use in the spa, disposable underwear for the treatment and a shower cap.
Luxury Spa Treatments at The Beaumont Spa at The Beaumont Hotel
As well as the massage I had, with hot stones, a really luxurious and therapeutic treatment, there was a whole array of other massages from everything to just feet/reflexology, back neck and shoulders, to full body, pregnancy, deep tissue, as well as those incorporating either a scrub or a scrub, wrap and facial too. There was a whole selection of facials by OSKIA, not to mention reflexology (traditional feet specialist treatments but facial reflexology too by Michelle Bowman or there was the Hammam specialist treatments in the Beaumont's authentic and traditional full body hammam.
This ritual starts in the steam room before moving to the mosaic-walled hammam room with its warmed marble hammam table for a cleanse with savon noir, followed by an exfoliation with kessa scrub, a rassoul body and hair cleanse, a nourishing treatment or massage, and a final rest to relieve any remaining stress. I’ve had a few of these treatments elsewhere recently (The Saxon in Johannesburg South Africa, The Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square London, and also at The Bürgenstock Resort in Switzerland). Definitely something for me to try on the next visit to The Beaumont, I will definitely be back.
The Beaumont Hotel: My review of the luxury hotel
This was one of my favourite London hotel stays - there are quite a few hotels that I really love already, and The Beaumont has definitely been added to this list. Smaller and more intimate perhaps than some others we would stay at, but being such an Agatha Christie fan and of the Art Deco period, The Beaumont Hotel for me was a really special experience. The rooms were phenomenal, such attention to detail and great service, with a choice of two bars and I had a great dinner in their Colony Grill restaurant. Not only was there a special vegetarian menu, the make-your-own ice cream bespoke sundae at the end of the meal was a treat to behold.

The Beaumont Spa at The Beaumont Hotel: The Highlights
By the fact that I love a spa treatment so much, I usually have high expectations but when somewhere like the Beaumont, you know from the off that you’re not going to be disappointed. So many highlights, but here are some of the major ones:
Welcome - one level below reception, the whole hotel is steeped in Art Deco wonder. The spa was no different, so beautifully designed.
Cleanliness - probably transcended cleanliness in fact, as everything in the entire spa was literally gleaming.
Lovely welcome at reception, which continued through to the introduction to my therapist and a really great treatment.
Not a huge spa, but had everything you could want from a boutique hotel like this and the thermal suite was good before or after your treatment.
Good choice of treatments, and great having the on site men’s grooming room too.
Areas for improvement
I’m not saying I’m a specialist, but I do have a lot of treatments and therapies at a lot of different spas all across the world, so it’s always hard to not compare and contrast, or have any issues highlighted when something was better elsewhere, or something fails to live up to expectation.
Very hard to find anything to say negatively here, but probably the only thing was there was only one shower in the gents changing facilities, but it’s a relatively small bespoke spa, so you wouldn’t be expecting vast changing areas either.

Final thoughts on the Beaumont Spa at The Beaumont Hotel
I’ve been to many luxury London hotels with spas, and The Beaumont is definitely getting added to the list of my favourites. Not the biggest or most extensive spa area, compared to say the likes of the Hotel Café Royal, Landmark or The Langham; but it is so perfectly suited to the hotel style and size.
