Urban Oasis: Unwind and Rejuvenate with the Ultimate London Two-Centre Luxury Mini Spa Break Wellness Experience

Welcome to a world of indulgence and rejuvenation, where the vibrant pulse of London meets the epitome of luxury and wellness. Embark on an enchanting journey with me as I explore the unparalleled elegance of the Four Seasons Hotel at Ten Trinity Square London (now renamed Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge) and The Londoner on Leicester Square, two gems nestled within the heart of this iconic city. This is not just a trip; it's a sanctuary of relaxation, a sojourn to serenity, and a celebration of opulence. Join me as I unwind in the lap of luxury, reinvigorate the soul, and immerse myself in the splendour that London and its exquisite accommodations have to offer.

I love to travel the world, with a particular focus on wellness which can encompass everything from relaxation to fitness, therapeutic or pampering spa treatments, hydrotherapy and thermal experiences, yoga, pilates and more. I tend to pick hotels with great spas, and although I have stayed at The Londoner before it is definitely somewhere I have wanted to return to. I’m combining it this trip with another favourite group, Four Seasons, but I’ve never been to their Ten Trinity property in London before.

Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge

Thanks to my booking through The Private Traveller as a Fora Travel Advisor, I was able to enjoy a number of exclusive Virtuoso perks during my stay at Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge, including:

• 🛏️ Upgrade on arrival (subject to availability)

• 🥐 Daily continental breakfast for two, served in The Rotunda or via in-room dining

• 💳 $100 USD hotel credit

• 📶 Complimentary Wi-Fi

As a long-time fan of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, I’ve stayed at their properties in Lisbon, Mexico City, and Las Vegas — with Johannesburg next on my list. London is fortunate to have two properties: the elegant Park Lane location, and this beautifully restored building near the Tower of London.

A highlight for me is always the spa. The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge offers a standout Autograph Experience called Prestigious Cocooning — a two-hour sensorial hammam ritual. It combines a deep black soap scrub, exfoliation with a kessa glove, Miel d’Ambre polish, bathing, gentle stretching, and finishes with an argan oil massage using marocMaroc products — pure wellness indulgence.

I’ll also be visiting the striking Rotunda Bar for pre-dinner drinks before dining at Mei Ume, the hotel’s beautifully executed Japanese and Chinese fusion restaurant.

Four Seasons Ten Trinity Vitality Pool

“Set in the heart of the City, overlooking Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, Ten Trinity Square this year celebrates its 100-year anniversary. Ten Trinity is the starting point for discovering London’s historic past, alongside its exhilarating present. As impressive inside as out, this famous five-star hotel remains the centre of attention, as a new chapter begins in its history.”

The Londoner: Super Boutique Hotel, Leicester Square

Booking through Classic Travel and their Preferred Platinum rate got me extra benefits here at The Londoner, like

• Daily breakfast for two for duration of the stay 

• $100 USD Resort Credit to be used during stay

• Complimentary Wi-Fi

• Room Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

• Priority Check in and Check out, subject to availability

We’ve stayed here before and really loved the experience. The hotel is in such an amazing location, right in the heart of London just off Leicester Square. The building is so impressive, the eight levels that are visible above ground are matched by another eight below. You could be forgiven for thinking these basement levels would be oppressive and dark, but they are anything but. There is the incredible hotel spa, The Retreat, with a choice of hydrotherapy and thermal experiences, along with spa treatments and therapies, beauty, hair and men’s grooming facilities.

Although there is a huge choice of restaurants, bars, and cafés on the hotel’s doorstop, within the hotel itself you can choose from The Residence (a guest only bar/lounge/restaurant), Whitcomb’s French Mediterranean, Joshua’s Traditional Tavern, The Stage (great for a champagne afternoon tea), Refuel (in the spa facility) and the rooftop 8 At The Londoner, the Izakaya Japanese bar and restaurant. We have tried them all, and plan to do so again on this trip. They’re all so different, but great in their own right; from sitting poolside in the spa to the outdoor terrace on the roof.

Why Stay at The Londoner with The Private Traveller

For the second part of this London wellness escape, I stayed at The Londoner — a sleek, stylish city hotel located in the heart of Leicester Square. With its design-led interiors, subterranean wellness space, and understated luxury, it’s a fantastic option for those looking for a more contemporary city break.

When you book The Londoner through The Private Traveller as a Fora Travel Advisor, you’ll unlock exclusive VIP benefits, including:

• 🛏️ Room upgrade on arrival (subject to availability)

• 🥐 Daily breakfast for two

• 💳 $100 resort credit to use during your stay

• 🕰️ Early check-in and late check-out (subject to availability)

• 📶 Complimentary Wi-Fi

During my stay, I took full advantage of The Retreat — The Londoner’s wellness floor, complete with a hydropool, sauna, and a private gym. The space feels effortlessly tranquil despite being steps from London’s busiest neighbourhoods. It’s ideal for winding down after a busy day exploring the city or as part of a full-on spa break.
