PRESS RELEASE - TO BLISS AND BACK IN A LUNCH HOUR

Being time pressured yet beauty conscious is an all too familiar story, so hip central London retreat g-spa (part of LA Fitness, 63-81 Pelham Street, South Kensington, London SW7 2NJ) has re-developed its menu of beauty treatments to hit the spot and help stressed-out urbanites unwind and get pampered in little more than their lunch hour. Women are flocking to discover this new zone of little pleasures, and the men aren’t far behind them, including Hollywood hottie Will Smith, who regularly pays a visit when he’s in town.

The g-spa concept combines the spirit of a city day spa with the luxurious qualities of an out of town retreat, but without the pomp, ceremony and financial fall-out normally associated with a trip to a London spa. Beautifully designed and based in the heart of South Kensington, those-in-the-know love g-spa for its haven of stress-melting, skin perfecting and body beautifying treatments that can be tailored to reflect the time you have to spare, from express body maintenance to full-blown pampering.

From deeply relaxing Dermalogica facials to blissfully self-indulgent wraps, scrubs and massage, the specialist spa therapies deliver an off-the-scale pamper rating to restore harmony and well-being.

Most treatments take less than an hour. Those that take longer can be tailored to 30 or 60 minute treatments to suit the time-stretched. In close proximity to the West End, the location is also perfect for post-shopping or pre-theatre relaxation.

In addition, the g-spa one-stop beauty shop offers top-to-toe summertime essentials with an extensive menu of treatments from waxing, shaping and tinting, to nail touch-ups, manicures and sunless tanning. And if you can’t get to the spa, the spa will come to you. The company’s mobile massage delivers the same experienced therapists straight to your door for the full spa experience from the comfort of home or office.
