We test out the latest protocols from Hydrafacial and more, and one spa explores the growing trend for “bleisure” spa breaks
Aztec Spa taps into bleisure trend
In a bid to beat the Sunday scaries – that feeling of dread you get on a Sunday for the upcoming Monday – Bristol’s Aztec Hotel & Spa has launched the Sunday Night Getaway spa package, so “bleisure” guests can upgrade their WFH status to WFS (working from spa).
“Bleisure”, mixing business and leisure, is the trend for professionals to lead a more balanced lifestyle. Aztec’s parent company Daniel Thwaites hotel group has seen a rise in visitors making use of workspaces when visiting, as well as having their family join for them for their stay so they can enjoy time together out of work hours.
For the new package, Sunday guests have dinner, sleep in a Signature room, then an early morning visit to the gym and spa pool and breakfast before working in one of the hotel work spaces.
The packages start at £84 per person / aztechotelbristol.co.uk
