Overnight spa breaks: book in at Novotel and relax

Hammams. Saunas. Fitness rooms and swimming pools. Healthy gourmet food. Sounds good? Wherever you choose to go, welcoming and relaxing Novotel spa hotels are ready and waiting to offer you the wellness treat you’ve been longing for.

The setting of any spa hotel has a huge part to play in your enjoyment of the whole experience. Whether you’re craving an overnight spa break at a Novotel right in the beating heart of fabulous London or overlooking imposing Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh, whether you’re taking a last-minute spa break close to home or travelling to the other side of the world, a pamper day at a serene spa will help to rebalance your body and calm your mind. 

Sitting on historic Bute East Dock, Novotel Cardiff Centre has a quiet location yet is just steps away from the city’s lively restaurant and nightlife scene. It’s an inviting spot at which to relax, with fantastic leisure facilities including a light-flooded heated indoor pool, whirlpool bath, sauna and hammam. 

“Enjoyed the great swimming pool - a real treat in a city hotel.” – review left on the website of Novotel Cardiff Centre. 

From the moment you arrive at a Novotel hotel, everything is designed with supreme care to enhance your relaxing spa experience. Thoughtful touches can include fresh towels on welcome, a range of nutritious drinks, and tranquil relaxation zones in the spa and wellness centre. 

From buffet-style or cooked breakfasts right through to dinner, Novotel hotels provide nutritionally balanced gourmet offerings in their restaurants. Family-friendly dishes are available and menus also showcase local produce, with chefs working every day towards promoting zero-miles ingredients – some of our hotels even use honey from the bee hives on their roofs. 

When you want to get away at short notice, you can still access a range of wellness areas designed especially for you to relax and forget the stresses of everyday life. 

• Hammams and saunas: Many Novotel guests ask what the difference is between these two facilities. Hammams produce a very humid heat and cleanse the pores, while the intense dry heat of the sauna purifies your body and releases endorphins. Both treatments help to relax muscles, cleanse the skin and promote blood circulation, and both will help improve your sleep patterns.
• Treatment rooms: It’s in these rooms that Novotel’s wellness experts weave their magic to reveal the secret of eternal youth. Working alongside partner brands and using tried and tested rituals, they offer a range of treatments and massages. Facial and slimming treatments, body massages, pedicures and manicures all combine to immerse you in an ocean of relaxation. 
• Balneotherapy and thalassotherapy: Using fresh water or seawater respectively, these indulgent treatments soothe and re-energise tired minds and bodies, facilitate spiritual rebalancing, and promote blood circulation and muscle relaxation. Novotel has partnered with renowned well-being centres across the world to provide dedicated areas where you can float in bliss.
• Novotel swimming pools: An essential playground if you’re taking an overnight spa break with children, a swimming pool is also an idyllic place to enjoy a moment of well-being and quiet contemplation for yourself. Swimming laps in a heated indoor pool benefits cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and reduces anxiety and stress.
• Fitness centres: Discover new disciplines and benefit from the expert advice of Novotel’s experienced In Balance coaches to hone your exercise routine. Our fitness centres offer a choice of weight training, stretching or cardio, and all have interactive screens to monitor your performance.

For overnight spa breaks, Novotel Reading Centre offers a complete wellness experience focused on your holistic well-being, with treadmills, weights and cardio in the fitness centre, plus a sauna and a sleek, serene swimming pool with a chill-out zone.

Combine all the benefits of a holiday by the sea with thalassotherapy treatments at Novotel hotels with spas and wellness centres. Discover the regenerating powers of the sea for yourself as you enjoy a break with your partner, family or friends on the shores of divine beaches in Europe, Africa, Asia, America or the Pacific.

“We enjoyed the spa as a duo, a magical moment with our teenagers. The massages are fantastic.”  – opinion left on the website of Novotel Resort & Spa Biarritz Anglet****, equipped with an O’Spa Institute.

Experience utter relaxation amid the mountains… wellness moments are even more enticing when it’s snowing outside. Book at chalet-style Novotel Megève Mont-Blanc for free access to the Palais Megève spa and balneotherapy treatment area, and look forward to glimpsing starlight reflected off snow-dusted peaks as you soak away the aches of a day’s skiing in a whirlpool bath or savour the relaxing heat of the sauna. On family summer holidays in the mountains, rest feet weary from hiking as you treat yourself to a well-deserved siesta by the Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pool surrounded by dramatic alpine views. 

Novotels are secret havens of well-being amid the hustle of the big city. Spend a weekend sightseeing with the family in London’s buzzing metropolis and you’ll be glad of the chance to decompress back at your hotel’s calming wellness centre…

London spa hotels include Novotel London Tower Bridge, where you can concentrate on building core strength in the fully equipped, interactive gym before slipping on a gown and heading for the sauna or hammam to loosen up those tired muscles. 

Share a relaxing holiday with family and opt for a second guest room for your children at half price, or enjoy a free stay and breakfast for all travellers under 16 years of age sharing a room with their parents or grandparents.
