THE LANDMARK LONDON, MARYLEBONE, LONDON

- DOMINIQUE HINES

FACILITIES

The beautiful, red brick Landmark London hotel is just a stone’s throw from Marylebone Tube station and the area’s bustling high street, restaurant­s and shops.

The hotel, which dates back to 1899, has 300 luxurious rooms and three restaurant­s, one of which is famously surrounded by towering palm trees, beautiful balconies and a soaring glass ceiling.

It is also home to a unique spa which boasts cocoon- like treatment rooms, a chlorine- free heated pool and treatments which use luxury skincare brand Germaine de Capuccini.

TREATMENTS AVAILABLE

The Landmark’s spa, which is a favourite with A- list celebritie­s, has just reopened its doors after a refurbishm­ent.

The new treatment menu focuses on relaxation and well- being using aromatic spices such as cardamom and exotic ingredient­s including oriental flowers.

TREATMENTS TESTED

The Landmark London Elixir, 2 hours 20 minutes, £ 220 I was fortunate enough to be one of the first to try out the spa’s new signature treatment. I was exfoliated from head to toe with spiced aromatic oils mixed with bamboo and poppy seeds.

Once buffed and polished, I was given a warming cinnamon massage. The vitamin E and antioxidan­t- rich oil was applied with warm shells, which was very relaxing and left my skin soft.

Afterwards I was treated to a rose- based facial with an anti- ageing massage that left my skin looking radiant.

GOOD POINTS

My room had the largest and most comfortabl­e bed I’ve ever slept in and its marble bathroom was beautiful.

If you love a hearty start to your day the breakfast is second to none. Also don’t miss the hotel’s stunning Winter Garden restaurant, home to delicious modern British cooking.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

Stay on a bed and breakfast basis with spa access included for £ 264 for a superior room.
