CORINTHIA HOTEL, LONDON

Standing proudly at the foot of Northumberland Avenue, in a stunning position overlooking the River Thames and almost directly opposite the London Eye, the Corinthia is one of the best located hotels in the capital. Classical and stately on the outside (it used to be the headquarters of the Ministry of Defence) but sleek and stylish on the inside, this is a grand hotel for the 21st century. It’s been featured in countless films and is the go-to choice for many celebrities who choose it for its central-but-discreet location, away from the paparazzi in the West End. It also has possibly the best spa in the country: ESPA Life has brought together a team of globally acclaimed naturopaths, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncturists and herbalists, osteopaths, personal trainers and spa professionals to offer everything your heart desires, whether that’s a Resilience Ritual, which combines hot stone massage and lympathic drainage; a Natural Face Lift using Japanese Kobido massage techniques and jade rollers; a Harmonising Gong Bath; or even a Vitadrip Infusion (vitamins, minerals and amino acids injected into the bloodstream). Spread over four floors, the spa features 17 treatment rooms, a private spa suite and an entire Thermal Floor with an indoor swimming pool, vitality pool, amphitheatre sauna, ice fountain, heated marble loungers and private sleep pods. Round off your Zen experience with the new plant-based menu in The Northall, with dishes such as kohlrabi ravioli with creamed avocado and hazelnut, or succumb to temptation at Kerridge’s, the Tom Kerridge-run bistro, with its inventive spin on British classics.
