AFTER A long day at work, sometimes all one needs is a relaxing pamper session. Fortunately, W London has it covered.
Having teamed up with Veuve Clicquot and W Verbier over the festive season, the hotel’s winter offerings are not to be ignored. One of these new offerings is the Après-Work Spa Experience. Redefining the traditional happy hour in a luxurious, alpine way, the wellness experience has been designed with the busy city professional in mind and is available on weekdays from 5-7 pm.

The experience begins at The Perception Bar – W London’s intimate cocktail bar – which has been cleverly transformed into the Après Lodge. From the faux fur throws lining the plush sofas to the Verbier-inspired décor, the bar’s undeniable après-ski aesthetic radiates a cosy chalet vibe. Here, guests can enjoy a selection of wintry drinks inspired by ski slope sleekness.
For example, the Red Run is a raspberry and fig-based concoction which instantly transports its enjoyer to a snowy dreamscape. Meanwhile, the Black Run is a bold mix of blackberry, apple strudel tea, and spices, providing warmth and energy.

After a visit to The Perception Bar, guests embark on their next journey up to the AWAY® Spa. Upon entering the spa, one can expect to be welcomed with an invigorating lemon and ginger shot, which promotes gut health and helps to support the immune system.
From there, a visit to the spa’s steam room and sauna is a must. Whereas the spa may be busy during the daytime, in the early evening, one has ample space and privacy to truly relax and unwind.

Once soaking up the heat in the steam room, guests are invited to enjoy an Insta Hydra treatment – a 30-minute cooling facial treatment focusing on the face, neck, and chest. Tapping into the alpine theme of the Après-Work experience, the facial treatment utilises chilled ice spoons to bring radiance and hydration to winter-worn skin.
From the delicious drinks to the revitalising spa treatment, it’s evident that the W London Après-Work Spa Experience is an excellent way to banish any winter woes in the most effortlessly alpine way.
