Read what Sonia Grispo got up to during her Spa & Stay babymoon at Alexander House, in West Sussex…

Picture it… You have spent a holiday in London, walking for miles around the capital between shopping and tourist attractions and before returning home you want to relax and enjoy a day or night in a Spa Hotel surrounded by English nature. Your flight has been cancelled and you deserve a pampering, just a short drive from Gatwick airport, or maybe you live in London and want to get away from the frenzy of the city… These are some of the reasons to put Alexander House on your agenda, a 5 red star hotel in West Sussex, with all things Spa at the heart.

Spa-cation

The heart of the Hotel is Utopia Spa, with an outdoor hot-tub and the possibility of booking a private one to experience an even more special moment, perhaps with your partner, an indoor swimming pool with hydro-massage areas and of course, the possibility to reserve special treatments.

OSKIA Mother-To-Be Pregnancy Massage

In my case, the two-day experience at the Alexander House was even more special because I was able to try their OSKIA Mother-To-Be Treatment, 80 minutes of pure relaxation designed for the needs of pregnant women. In addition to the scrub, face mask and body massage from the toes to the scalp, I particularly appreciated the structure on which they made me lie down, created to allow my belly to gently settle down and to be able to lie on my stomach, something that I haven’t done for months. If you are pregnant or know someone who is, and would like to give them a metaphorical cuddle, this experience is absolutely the perfect gift.

Inside the Hotel there are also two restaurants, including one with 3 Rosettes, and it is also possible to book an Afternoon Tea or Picnic in the garden, for an even more complete experience.

Large rooms immersed in the silence of the English countryside with a view of the 120 acres that surround the Hotel, a Spa in which to relax, good food, wellington boots available so as not to be found unprepared in case of a walk in nature or up to the nearby village… these are excellent reasons to memorize this Hotel as a travel destination and an experience to do outside of London. The hotel is located a few minutes by taxi from Gatwick airport (you can also request a taxi service, offered by the hotel for a great price).
