Kallima to open at Syon Park
UK: London Syon Park is a new Waldorf Astoria luxury hotel, and has announced the launch of Kallima, T e Spa – billed as “a stylish spa destination close to central London yet within the tranquil surrounds of an English country estate”.

Kallima originates from the Greek word for ‘beautiful’ and, drawing infl uence from Syon
Park’s renowned butterfl y house, is also named after a species that resembles a closed leaf until transformed by opening its wings. Rachel Tebble has been appointed Director of Spa at London Syon Park. “Kallima will introduce an entirely unique experience, with a bespoke approach to wellness that is designed to surprise and delight each and every guest,” she says. Terraké, Anne Semonin, Voya and Leighton Denny have each designed a collection of treatments exclusive to the spa called the Kallima Couture Collection, themed as Rescue, Escape, Essential, Couture and Seasonal.

Green light for Buxton
UK: Plans to revitalise an iconic building in the spa town of Buxton have taken an important step forward. High Peak Borough Council expects the signing of agreements with Nestlé, which uses the underground water source in its famous Buxton Water product, to be imminent. T is will enable the Buxton Crescent Hotel and T ermal Spa Company to prepare the interior of the building for its redevelopment as T e Crescent T ermal Spa Hotel.
Planning permission was obtained in 2003 for the transformation of T e Crescent, and four years ago the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded £12.5m towards total development costs of around £32m. Test drilling later established precautions needed to prevent any risk of contamination of, or disruption to, the
Buxton Water supply.
