🇬🇧 PLACE: ESPA LIFE
A state-of-the-art spa inside one of London’s iconic buildings
By Iona Paulet
Situated in the heart of London, ESPA Life at Corinthia offers a welcomed moment of restorative wellness and mindful well-being to create harmonious equilibrium for mind, body and soul. The Corinthia Hotel London, is a famous 5-star luxury hotel located at the corner of Northumberland Avenue and Whitehall Place in central London, and is located on a triangular site between Trafalgar Square and the Thames Embankment. Originally known in 1885 as the Metropole Hotel, its close location to the Palace and government offices in Whitehall meant it was commandeered in both world wars. After WWII, it was purchased by the Ministry of Defense for government offices until it was declared surplus and sold by Crown Estates in 2007. It was then restored as a hotel and renamed the Corinthia Hotel and became a combination of hotel and residences, now with a luxury spa. In a nod to its past life, the official announcement of the James Bond movie Skyfall featuring Jennifer Lawrence, held a press conference at the Corinthia Hotel in November 2011.
Winner of numerous accolades, including Best Regional Luxury City Hotel Spa (2022, World Luxury Spa Awards) and England’s Best Hotel Spa (2021, World Spa Awards), ESPA Life brings together the expertise of renowned practitioners to offer an unparalleled spa experience. The Spa offers different collections of treatments, each focused on a specific feeling or goal. If you’re looking for a spa day in London to revitalize and replenish energies, look no further than their enlivening Vitality rituals and treatments. Combining the latest technology in fitness, beauty and healthcare, groundbreaking science and ancient holistic therapies, ESPA Life has created unique treatments carried out by a team of the world’s leading experts to provide an unrivaled choice of spa.
To restore radiance in the skin, try the ESPA Active Nutrients Glow from Within Facial. This nutrient-rich treatment focuses on the scalp, face, neck and décolleté to revive lack luster complexions. Through a symphony of artful techniques, including a sweeping GuaSha massage, steaming, exfoliation and multi-masking, this facial results in a radiant luminosity that emanates from within.
Spread over four floors, the spa features 17 treatment rooms, a private spa suite, a state-of-the art Thermal Floor with a silver steel swimming pool, vitality pool, amphitheater sauna, ice fountain, marble heated loungers and private sleep pods. The Spa Lounge complements the overall experience by serving light, nutritious refreshments. Our favorite part of the spa is The Thermal Floor which offers therapeutic heat experiences to refreshing ice fountains. Each element is truly used to make you feel revitalized. The 30-foot swimming pool invites you to immerse yourself in vivid blue depths. You can also relax on the submerged bench, soaking in the warmth and enjoying views of the flickering fireplace for the ultimate tranquil luxury.
The Corinthia London also joined forces with the London Regenerative Institute (LRI) to provide non-invasive services in preventative and restorative aesthetics. Founded by leading plastic surgeons Mr. Tunç Tiryaki and Dr. Steve Cohen, the LRI harnesses the power of longevity research to deliver personalized treatment protocols that reverse aging and optimizing your health span.

🇬🇧 PERSON: STEVE MELLOR
Founder of Athletic Medical Performance (AMP) at Corinthia
Steve Mellor founded Athletic Medical Performance (AMP), located inside the Corinthia London gym. After working in 5* hotels and having worked in the industry for 18 years, he spotted a gap in the market with gyms, from both an excellence perspective but also a service perspective. AMP stands for Athletic - Medicine - Performance, the three ethos of the brand. An AMP session starts with some Yoga inspired mobility flow to get you moving, then Movement Prep to get the body prepped and ready to train. The heart rate builds throughout this block, then the focus is on a mix of lower, upper body and core. The second block of work gets the heart rate pumping more before the final finisher piece which combines some conditioning using the Assault Bikes, Rowers, Ski erg or Rowers.
“The expectations of customers in gyms is very low and therefore the customer experience matched it. This is changing in the boutique fitness sector and it is forcing a change across the industry. AMP combines the detail of a 5* hotel, the knowledge of a sports med clinic and the focus of performance sport. This powerful combination is delivered in the friendliest gym in London, where everyone knows your name and you always feel motivated to workout, even on the toughest of days.” - Steve Mellor
🇬🇧 PRODUCT: DR. STURM’S SUN DROPS
A lightweight luxury SPF serum for broad-spectrum UV protection.
The Corinthia London has chosen to use Dr. Barbara Sturm’s products exclusively at the ESTA Spa. Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics are crafted without synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives or mineral oils, making them suitable for all skin types. Infused with cutting-edge ingredients, her line of skincare products effectively revives stressed skin, restoring a youthful and luminous appearance.
Dr. Sturm has found a way to trick old skin cells into behaving like new skin cells — and this scientific breakthrough is delivered to her clients using a key natural ingredient, purslane. Dr. Sturm explains, “Purslane stimulates the youth enzyme telomerase which stops the length of the telomere cap at the end of our DNA from shortening. The shortening of our telomeres leads to cellular dysfunction which is ultimately the process behind the wear and tear of the skin and premature aging.” This same spirit of efficiency extends to her product range – many can be used in combination to enhance results. The iconic Sun Drops, for instance, effortlessly meld with other products to deliver sun protection with a stroke of practical brilliance. BUY HERE.
