WOW...
I'm someone who prefers giving massages to having them, but the Hot Stone Treatment at One Aldwych may have changed my opinion completely.
The Spa is located in the basement of the hotel and is very discreet. The decor is minimalist and there are only 3 treatments rooms so it felt very intimate. I was given a robe and slippers to change into and met by my therapist Lauren and shown to the treatment room. After choosing which oil I preferred the smell of the massage began. Lauren placed a hot stone in the small of my lower back and went to work on each leg individually, first massaging in the oil and then with another hot stone firmly massaging up and down. The smoothness of the stone's surface and the heat felt absolutely amazing. Apparently the heat from the stone helps to relax the muscle therefore making it more malleable and easier to work with. Lauren worked on every bit of my body apart from the stomach and chest. Her movements were fluid, gentle and firm, it almost felt like a dance. When she came to my neck two smaller stones were used either side and on my face she used cold stones, designed to reduce puffiness or swelling.
After the treatment finished I felt like I was floating and felt a sense of all over well being. My skin was incredibly soft and I smelt amazing.
If you are looking for a deep tissue massage this is not for you, but if you want a massage that will relax and comfort you I urge you to try the Hot Stone Massage. As expected the price of the treatment is at the high end of the scale but personally I'd happily pay that and am fully intending to go back for another and perhaps a facial too!
On a further note the music was spot on. Very cool chill out music, which was a bonus. My therapist Lauren was wonderful and she gave me some Natura Bisse facial samples to try at home before I left.
The only slight criticism I'd mention would be the lack of signs directing you to the Spa. As you walk in the entrance you have to walk to the right and round to the far side of the lifts, then down the stairway towards The Health Club.
