Watch as Gemma takes you inside the luxury spa at the Municipal Hotel

With its impressive original 19th-century features, The Municipal Hotel M Gallery has set the standard for grand luxury since it opened in Liverpool this spring.

And it’s not just the Municipal Hotel’s elegant interiors and showpiece Palm Court bar which have been wowing guests. The Thermae Spa in the Municipal Hotel is one of the most beautiful spa locations anywhere in the country and an absolutely idyllic place to escape, unwind and be refreshed in the heart of the city centre.

It’s the perfect choice for a romantic date, some well-deserved pampering with a best mate or group of friends, or a mum and daughter treat day. Any reason will do to just enjoy complete indulgence for a few hours!

The state-of-the-art spa features a 16-metre indoor swimming pool with floor-to-ceiling windows giving city views while you swim or relax on the day beds, a Himalayan salt sauna that’ll leave you feeling detoxed and energised, a steam room, sanarium, monsoon experience showers and jacuzzi.

There’s even an ice experience and plunge bucket if you want an invigorating session that’s great for your skin and boosts your whole body.

Because no spa visit would really be complete without a treatment, The Municipal Thermae Spa has four deluxe treatment rooms which offer a range of facials, massages and a body wrap or polish from its brands Elemis and Grown Alchemist.

There’s also a dual suite if you want to get pampered side by side with your partner or friend.

Ease all your stresses with an Elemis or Grown Alchemist massage, whether it’s a full-body massage that gets deep into your muscles to release tension, an urban de-stress to target specific areas, a soothing foot massage or a Peaceful Pregnancy massage, created especially for mums-to-be.

If you fancy getting your glow back, the spa has a menu of facials for every age and skin type including the Grown Alchemist Re-Generator, a total skin reboot which tackles the signs of ageing and gives skin a collagen boost to help improve firmness.

For everyday maintenance, there’s a deluxe manicure and pedicure station, and you can choose from a range of waxing options too.

With so many amazing treatments and first-class facilities, The Municipal Thermae Spa makes an ideal treat for yourself or as a gift, and it would definitely be a festive surprise to remember.

There are half and full-day packages available if you want to combine spa access with treatment or food in the beautiful Palm Court … or make a day of it with all three, including afternoon tea and prosecco.

And, if one trip isn’t enough, why not become a member? The hotel has launched new luxury membership packages, which offer exclusive membership benefits including10% off all treatments and Elemis and Grown Alchemist retail, one complimentary 50-minute treatment every 6 months, 20% off food and drink, guest passes, exclusive invitations to events and even a gift on your birthday!
