Continuing in the outstanding traditional of the Mandarin Orientals, the London Spa has attained mastery of urban rejuvenation techniques. They blend the ancient traditions of China, Ayurveda, Europe, Bali and Thailand effortlessly. You trade your shoes for their slippers on arrival, allowing you to leave the modern world behind, constantly surrounding with Zen-inspired design – colours, textures, shapes and lighting designed to touch body, mind and spirit.
