Crewe Hall (Spa)

The majesty of Crewe Hall, a mighty grade I listed house in Cheshire that's all marble fireplaces and stained glass windows, can be appreciated in more ways than its fine architecture. Step into the spa and revel in another sort of cultural escape – one that allows your mind and body to totally bliss out. Slink into the sauna and steam room and cleanse your mind of life's troubles, lay on the heated loungers and ease tired backs or retreat to the moody relaxation area and fall asleep in the warm, cosseting confines. Pick a spa treatment from a long menu of delectable skin saviours in the candlelit therapy rooms – the signature QHotels rituals is highly recommended, while a host of beautifying services will have you fit and fabulous for a night on the town.
