This luxury hotel spa facility delivers a world-class wellness experience across multiple pool zones, including a grand indoor main pool, an indoor hydrotherapy vitality pool, and a courtyard outdoor pool. Set within an opulent interior clad in marble with cherry blossom feature trellises, the project combines high-end botanical aesthetics with heavy-duty commercial pool engineering.

Exceptional engineering : This project demonstrates commercial pool building at its finest. Managing complex filtration across multiple bodies of water simultaneously required careful pipework routing and advanced plant room layout design in a restricted service space.Bespoke therapy features: The main pool incorporates a dedicated shallow sun-shelf area fitted with custom black marble-effect contoured loungers, offering guests an ultra-luxurious submerged relaxation experience.Versatile indoor/outdoor integration: Creating a cohesive design language between the climate-controlled indoor marble spa environment and the open-air outdoor courtyard pool gives the facility a luxury resort finish rarely achieved in UK commercial hotel developments.

Botanical luxury concept: Inspired by classic English garden trellises and Japanese cherry blossoms, the indoor pool design creates a serene, light-filled botanical sanctuary. White marble wall cladding and large-format porcelain floor tiles provide a clean, luxurious backdrop that enhances ambient light reflection. The indoor pool has a bespoke, low profile floating coping channel detail and first of their kind bespoke marble heated loungers, with minimal floor fixing to allow them to appear to float above the bathing platform. Cohesive user experience progression: Working in close collaboration with the client and interior design team, the space was structured to guide guests seamlessly through distinct wellness experiences: an expansive main indoor pool with submerged marble loungers, an intimate indoor hydrotherapy vitality pool with targeted massage jets, and a open-air courtyard pool framed by pergola greenery and hanging lounge chairs. Material Selection: The main indoor pool features large-format white marble porcelain tiling along the tank bottom to maintain a crisp, luminous water colour, while the hydrotherapy pool uses shimmering glass mosaic tiles for texture and non-slip safety around step areas.
