Ultra contemporary, ultra relaxing and ultra welcoming.
Ultra contemporary, ultra relaxing and ultra welcoming, The Urban Escape Crowne Plaza Nottingham is the perfect balance of pampering, wellness and convenience for this living in and around Nottingham or heading to this historic city for a visit. Here are a few reasons we love this modern hotel spa.
A contemporary spa
Having undergone a £1m refurbishment in recent years, the Urban Escape Crowne Plaza Nottingham has all the sophisticated style of a modern wellbeing and leisure experience. The pool area sets the scene with dark walls and relaxing lighting. There's an inbuilt Jacuzzi, as well as a steam room and ice station. Other facilities include a relaxation area where you can enjoy a good snooze, a gym and four treatment rooms.
ESPA spa treatments
Treatments are a central part of the spa experience and one of the top recommended brands is ESPA. Delivering a selection of facials, massages, body polishes, salt scrubs, treatments specifically for men, manicures, pedicures, and tanning, therapists help guests to unwind completely.
The spa is located in the centre Nottingham, which makes it an ideal place to visit for a half day or evening spa day as well as part of a weekend exploring the city. Nottingham might be famous for the legendary Robin Hood, but it's still brimming with both historic sites like the 11th-century Nottingham Castle, and modern attractions. Enjoy first rate shopping, explore the City of Caves, stroll in the 19th century arboretum or take in a play at the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall.
Spa and celebrate with friends
Nottingham has many places to eat and drink, but the hotel's own Lace Maker restaurant (named for the city's lace making heritage), and The Swatch Bar and Lounge offer great food and a relaxed atmosphere. Meet friends, visit for a celebration and make happy memories at this easy-to-love hotel spa.
