Stop & Flop

For those enjoying a stopover on either a long haul journey or to and from a holiday destination, there are any number of wonderful city spas that can be enjoyed en-route. Our staff at the Cleveland Collection can help you choose the right hotel, the right spa and even advise on, and book, a treatment for you during your stay. Here we highlight just a few of the best hotel spas in major cities. City spas such as these are geared towards the long haul as well as short haul traveller and offer a number of treatments and therapies to deal with jetlag, dehydration or simple relaxation to help cope with long flights. Our staff will guide you through the options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether you would prefer a massage to soothe muscles after hours on a plane, reflexology to relieve pressure points, a rehydrating facial to combat any moisture loss en-route, a floatation tank experience for the deepest relaxation, (it is claimed 40 minutes is equivalent to six hours sleep), or just straight pampering with something like an aromatherapy massage or a manicure.
