The 10 best hotels with hot tubs in London

Who knew it was possible to be so chilled out right in the centre of London? You’ll find this new hotel from the London-based hospitality group Kinsfolk & Co, whose directors are of The Goring and The Beaumont fame, in the heart of Fitzrovia. While the design feels local to its bones – on the walls you’ll see black-and-white photos of Fitzrovia’s highlights like The Blue Posts and H.T. Harris Delicatessen – with its earthy tones, woody surfaces and a hint of glamour, it’s easy to think you’re miles away from the frenzy of the city. Of course, this is helped by the fact that there is a near-perfect spa on the hotel's wellness floor. There's a large airy gym, a sauna, a hydrotherapy pool, a steam room, an ice room, and a halotherapy room. Oh and a hot tub, of course.

Address: 50 Newman St, London W1T 3EB

Price: Rooms start from around £500 a night

Nearest transport: Oxford Circus tube is a seven-minute walk

Water babies can’t go wrong at this glamorous Regent Street hotel. The chic subterranean Akasha spa has an 18-metre lap pool, a Vichy shower (six shower heads are directed at different parts of the body and can be gentle or invigorating), and a Watsu pool (London’s first, heated to 35 degrees) for hydrotherapy treatments. There’s also a hammam for luxurious purifying scrub treatments and, of course, a fabulous hot tub. The cavernous sauna is probably one of the most remarkable places you’ll ever overheat in, before a self-inflicted icy torrent of water brings you right back to this mortal coil. The well-stocked gym has everything you need for a proper workout, although the underground stuffiness can get a little intense when panting over a few treadmill kms. The rooms are equally sleek, with Carrara marble bathrooms, Floris toiletries and Frette linen.

Oh, it really is wonderful. You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped into a glamorous L.A. hotel in the Golden Age upon entering The Landmark.

And if that isn't alluring enough, then make a beeline for the toasty hot tub (heated to 34 degrees) in Spa at The Landmark, which also boasts aromatherapy experience showers and mosaic-tiled steam rooms.

Each room is equipped with a 37" flat-screen TV, so you can wind down with a film of your choice. You'll basically be right in the station, too. So you could hop on the Eurostar and jet off out of the city for the day.

A luxury hotel that’s big on glitz and glamour isn’t likely to have just any old hot tub, and the Corinthia sure doesn’t.

It’s part of the state-of-the-art spa, which has every well-being amenity you could imagine, plus a nail studio and a Daniel Galvin hair salon. Rooms, like the rest of the hotel, are firmly in the grand hotel style. Obviously, it goes without saying that this is a very nice hotel, so as expected, it is a very nice place to lay your head for a night or two. Comfort comes in masses.
