The Spa at Sofitel London Heathrow

Love this hotel, it's the fine way prepare for lengthy travel from LHR T5. Not my first visit to the spa here and the deal purchased from Lastminute was great value given the standard prices. Sauna, steam and hydro pool are the only non treatment facilities offered. The pool was overly chlorinated to the point where my bathing suit and skin still had the odour after numerous washes. Was the only person in the spa what a treat! The therapist was pleasant and the facial also, though the massage was just OK. Have had much better and also much worse. The extra bonus (bought with the package) - A glass of prosecco with 6 chocolate dipped strawberries I had delivered to my room. Though they had to replace the strawberries (with small pastries) given I avoid cakes it was disappointing - but ate them anyway! Spa receptionist was very helpful to arrange this and was welcoming when I arrived. I did feel extremely relaxed on return to my room so mission accomplished. Noticed the items available on the common areas had decreased since my last visit. Would recommend augmenting your stay here with spa treatments if you have time.

Perfect

as parking is quite dear if you want to get a full day's enjoyment out of the spa, I would recommend parking at Hounslow West station (5.50 for the whole day) and get the piccadilly line into Heathrow terminal five. its a five minute walk through the station to the Sofitel beautiful spa and excellent facilities. the massage treatments were sublime. the only downside was we could not get food from the hotel restaurant brought down to the spa so we had to get dressed go for lunch and then come back to the spa later (putting wet cosi back on no fun!) might be worth packing snacks or a picnic - its what we will do next time if spending the day in the spa. plenty of space to relax and unwind, it was very quiet during our visit (Thursday) I could imagine it being busier at the weekend. overall an excellent experience and one I will repeat as a treat for myself

An enjoyable spa day spent at Sofitel with very friendly staff. The facilities were adequate and clean. My friend and I went for the facial with scalp massage which was very relaxing, followed by afternoon tea. The waiter was very attentive and explained everything on the menu to us. I would recommend it if you live locally around West London or having an overnight stay in Heathrow because it can be difficult to get to. It would be good if free parking could be extended to 6hrs.

Very relaxing
