The Wellness Masters

Discreetly hidden several floors beneath the famous black and white tiles of the foyer, Claridge’s Spa is a haven for those in need of serious time to themselves. But there is more to this underground oasis than meets the eye. Amid the Japanese spa, the infinity pool, the daybeds with soft, thick mattresses, and the elegant low lighting are some of London’s finest practitioners – each at the top of their field and known for getting serious results.

JW: confidence – the feeling of being the best version of yourself.
TT: many things. I’m happy when I’m inspired, whether it be by faces, art, landscape or interiors.

Wellness is…

HP: doing things in balance. Keeping my energy high and always thinking about longevity.
JW: living well, feeling a little taller and radiating a glow.
TT: doing the best you can in taking care of yourself.
