The Cambridge Belfry Spa

Mix business with leisure at The Cambridge Belfry Spa

Business trips can be exhausting, and the long hours can wreak havoc on your skin and your posture. So it’s no surprise that more and more executive hotels have started to offer health club facilities and a limited spa menu to help counter the gruelling effects of a long day of schmoozing.

However, the Cambridge Belfry Spa goes that extra step further. Yes, it is a business-friendly hotel, but it also happens to house a world class spa, complete with seven private treatment rooms (and one double treatment room), a heated indoor swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a steam room and a relaxation room, as well as an impressive treatment menu by ESPA.

Treatments range from the luxurious (eyelash extensions, deluxe manicures and so on) to the functional (the ‘Fit For Business Back Ritual with ESPA’ has been specifically designed to relieve tension from the shoulders, legs and feet, undoing all the hours you have spent on your feet or crouched over a desk), but all are designed to complement a busy lifestyle – most of the spa’s treatments last less than one hour.

Unwind with a hot stone massage or a bespoke ESPA aromatherapy massage, or treat your feet to the signature Invigorating Foot Treatment, which reduces puffiness and gets rid of aches and pains.

Women can choose from a series of anti-ageing and ultra-hydrating facial treatments, while men can book the popular ESPA Men’s Age Rebel Facial, which will dupe your colleagues into thinking you are less tired than you really are!

As every successful executive knows, multi-tasking is everything. So make the most of the location and combine business with leisure.
