Luxury hotel and spa scoops two top awards

An independent spa and hotel in Alsager with the UK's first swim-up bar has scooped two prestigious awards. The Spa at the Manor House Hotel on Audley Road won both titles of Best Luxury Garden Spa in Europe and Best Luxury Countryside Spa in the UK at the 2023 World Luxury Spa Awards.

The family-owned spa underwent a redevelopment following the pandemic, which involved creating a quintessential English garden themed spa on the hotel's former car park. Opening at the end of 2022, the owners created a 15-metre serenity swimming pool surrounded by luxurious sofas and Instagram-worthy hanging beds, a feature which continues out into the new spa garden which boasts a large heated pool, the sunken table top hydrotherapy tub, The Pavilion containing a panoramic laconicum, and the summer house where guests can find the light relaxation lounge and patio.

Guests can also make their way through a thermal journey and visit the salt steam inhalation chamber, the Potting Shed herbal sauna, and finish by braving the icy cool plunge bath. The spa won the award on October 28.

It has unique facilities such as the large hydrotherapy pool, potting shed sauna, ice plunge bath as well as the spa's crowning jewel, the UK’s first swim up bar. The World Luxury Awards celebrated its 17th year of awarding some of the top hotels, spas, restaurants and travel establishments.
