There’s no need for a locker room at Aman Spa at The Connaught, since guests of the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star London spa enjoy something infinitely more luxurious: their own private spa suites. Each luxe suite includes a private dressing area, a large wardrobe for hanging clothes, a vanity with all the grooming necessities, and a shower with a steam function to enjoy before, during or after treatments.
The spa’s design style is Asian-inspired; you’ll find earth tones throughout, slatted wooden sliding doors, heated stone floors and white wicker furniture. Be sure to take a dip in the spa’s pool, which resembles a grotto and features a lovely waterfall.

The Treatments
• The London spa takes its cue from the Chinese concept of Qi, using acupressure techniques and essential oils to relieve muscle tension, realign the body’s energy flow and leave guests feeling uplifted after the 2.5-hour Signature Experience.
• Tailored to each guest’s skin and Ayurvedic dosha type, the Aman Signature Facial begins with a 30-minute cleansing footbath before you are invited to lie down in a dimly lit room while a therapist cleanses, exfoliates, tones and moisturizes the face, even adding in a massage for the scalp and shoulders.
• During the Body Envelopment, unrefined Argiletz clays are combined with sage, green tea, sandalwood and lemongrass to envelop the body in a warm, nutrient-rich cocoon, while a therapist provides a scalp massage.
• Beginning with a footbath, the 2.5-hour Jet Lag Reviver includes body brushing, a salt scrub to reduce water retention, a nourishing body mask in tandem with a tailored signature facial, and finally a holistic full-body massage.
