Sanderson Urbdan Spa reviewed

A lavish "Urban Spa" in the heart of London’s West End, Sanderson offers a retreat from the bustle of the city into a world of fantasy and wellbeing. The landmarked 50s building has been transformed by Philippe Starck into a surreal Cocteau-like dreamworld with a lushly landscaped interior courtyard garden, Suka, a restaurant by Zac Pelaccio, and the extensive facilities of the renowned Agua Spa.

Sanderson epitomizes a “new luxury” that is smart, pared down, and tempered with a healthy dose of wit and irony – in short, a hotel with modern sex appeal.

The gym

The 24-hour Gymnasium is equipped with ultra-modern workout apparatus and offers personal trainers and indoor/ outdoor yoga and fitness sessions.
