Imagine sinking into the softness of silky sheets on a massage table, a sense of calm washing over you. This was my experience at the Chuan Spa + Soul Spa in The Langham, London. After a whirlwind Saturday in the city, the hustle and bustle faded into a distant memory.
This was my perfect escape after a busy trip with my mother in South Bank. We decided to end our vacation in style at The Langham, London, a historic British gem in the heart of the West End.
Location, Location, Location: A Prime Spot in the City
For those who love exploring a city on foot, The Langham, London is a dream come true. Situated across from the BBC headquarters at the top of Regent Street, it’s a fantastic starting point for discovering the vibrant neighborhoods of Soho and Mayfair. Just a short walk away are the world-famous shops of Oxford Street and Bond Street, as well as the peaceful green spaces of Regent’s Park.
A Sanctuary in the City: The Chuan Spa + Soul Spa
Step into a world of tranquility at the Chuan Spa + Soul Spa. Tucked away beneath the hotel, this subterranean sanctuary offers a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle.
Here, you’ll find treatment rooms, a cutting-edge fitness studio, and a beautiful indoor pool. My experience included the signature Magnesium Bamboo Ritual, where a skilled therapist used a magnesium-infused concoction and a smooth bamboo stick to ease away stress and soreness.
While this particular treatment is no longer offered, you can still indulge in a variety of unique treatments, from the Immune Booster with Reiki therapy, massage, and foot treatment, to Chinese cupping therapy. Afterward, relax and unwind with a cup of tea in the relaxation area or treat yourself to a sauna or steam in the changing area.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness: The Five Elements Theory
The spa has embraced a new approach to its treatments and products, based on the Five Elements theory from Chinese medicine. Guests are encouraged to complete a questionnaire that helps identify disharmonies among the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water), which influence our bodies and spirits. Sensory testing can help you discover the perfect Chuan product for your needs.
Sleep Matters: Rest and Recharge in Your Room
The wellness experience doesn’t stop when you return to your room. The Langham, London offers the Sleep Matters by Chuan program, which emphasizes the importance of a good night’s sleep for overall wellness.
Choose from a variety of spa-inspired bath experiences in your room, inspired by the five elements. Or, indulge in the Refresh and Renew package, which includes a revitalizing breakfast, an in-room yoga mat, and relaxing turndown amenities.
The CBD OTO Mini Sleep Collection pack is another highlight, featuring CBD Sleep Drops and a mini CBD Night Face Mask.
Chic and Comfortable: A Room to Relax In
The rooms at The Langham, London are a blend of comfort and sophistication. Wrap yourself in a plush bathrobe and slippers, snuggle up in the Langham “Blissful Bed”, and enjoy the luxurious Diptyque toiletries. Indulge in a snack from the private bar or a cup of tea or Nespresso using the in-room kettle and machine.
You’ll also find The Langham, London’s signature stationery and postcard in the desk drawer, a delight for any writer.
Dining Delights: A Culinary Journey
From a refreshing green juice to start your day to a simple yet elegant dinner, The Langham, London offers a wide range of options to suit every taste and dietary need.
Indulgent food makes me happy, and happiness is essential for my overall wellness. Of course, I try to balance the indulgences with healthy fruits, vegetables, and other nourishing fare.
I was thrilled with the food and beverage options at the hotel. While there’s a pub (The Wigmore), a cocktail bar (Artesian), and a fine dining restaurant (Roux at the Landau), we chose to dine at Palm Court for all our meals.
I loved starting my day with a green juice, plain yogurt, and a poached egg in the elegant dining room. Later, my mother and I enjoyed the famous Palm Court high tea, with a selection of finger sandwiches, pastries, scones, and more. For dinner, I appreciated the simple yet delightful option of a bowl of soup and a glass of wine.
