opening THE HOTEL


Corinthia Hotel London opened in May 2011. A grand Victorian building just off Trafalgar Square, the hotel has 294 rooms, including 43 suites, offering sweeping views across London’s most popular landmarks. The new site is the ninth in Corinthia Hotels’ collection of fi ve-star hotels, founded by the Pisani family of Malta.


Guests receive an in-depth


consultation with one of the ESPA Life ‘gatekeepers’, where a full medical, nutritional and physical case history is carried out, along with an Iris eye diagnosis which uses the structure, colour and shape of the iris and pupil to determine an individual’s illness or wellbeing. Once the client’s current health


status, goals and objectives are established, bespoke treatments and programmes are created to help them regain optimal wellness. Depending on the individual needs, programmes could include naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, spa therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy and fi tness. “Fitness is a really important part


of the ESPA Life concept,” says Harmsworth. “Not only does it complement all of the therapies on offer, but our personal trainers often have the most regular contact with the clients. The gym has been specially designed to promote recuperation and optimal health and be inclusive for all, regardless of their age, ability or goal.” Price believes completely in the


benefi ts of integration and worked closely with ESPA and Life Fitness to design the gym, select the equipment and develop the programmes to help increase vitality, performance

“Corinthia and ESPA have created


an amazing environment for us to facilitate the new concept,” explains Price. “It’s really exciting to be able to take each client as a whole, as opposed to looking at each symptom in isolation, and we’re already seeing excellent progress as a result. Our trainers can make a sound prognosis and take it back to the gatekeeper. We’ve even designed our own computer software to enable us to update client records in real time, so all of the team can see the very latest progress status at any time.”
