Bristol Spa

Welcome to Bristol Spa. Here you can relax, breathe deeply and let your body restore itself. The spa offers classic and infrared saunas, a snow room, hot and cold plunge pools, a pool inspired by Moorish architecture and a rainwalk shower with natural stones that massage feet.

Entrance to Bristol Spa

If you are a guest staying at the hotel, use the entrance directly from the hotel’s third floor.

If you are not staying at the hotel, use the entrance on Sehesteds plass.

Slow down and experience relaxation on three floors of wellness and renewal

The architecture and interior are inspired by Moorish design, with warm tones, arches and mosaics that create an inviting ambience. Materials and details were carefully chosen to create a sense of journeying to a distant land – without leaving the city.

The spa experience starts before the very first treatment. Displays provide guidance tailored to your interests, whether you want to try a cold or heat treatment, book a drop-in appointment or enjoy a personal experience. You can also use the mask stations and choose a face mask to suit your skin type.

Treatment only or the full spa experience? The choice is yours

At our spa, you do not have to pay for spa entrance if you have only booked a treatment. This means you can enjoy a relaxing massage, facial or other wellness treatment without using the spa facilities.

But if you would ilke to combine your treatment with the spa facilities - including a pool, sauna, steam room and relaxation zones - you will need to add spa entrance when booking a treatment.

Swimwear

In order for everyone to be able to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the spa, swimwear is mandatory throughout the spa area. You are welcome to wear your own or buy Bristol swimwear at the spa reception.

Age limit - 18 years

To ensure a calm and relaxing atmosphere for all guests, Bristol Spa has an age limit of 18 years. This allows for utter relaxation, presence and immersion during the spa experience. No exceptions are made, as the spa area is designed for adult guests seeking renewal and a wellness experience in quiet surroundings.

The perfect combination of hot and cold – sauna, aufguss, snow room and head spa

On the second floor, you will find the reception desk, where our spa receptionists welcome you.

Here you can quench your thirst and try exclusive skin and hair products carefully selected to give you a holistic spa experience.

Traditional sauna and aufguss

The sauna is open all day, but can also be used for augfuss, a ritual performed by a sauna master. With essential oils, music and towel waving, the steam is evenly distributed throughout the room, giving you an intense and sensory heat experience.

Snow room

In the snow room, you enjoy a refreshing encounter with cold, as well as a hot and cold plunge pool to promote circulation and recovery. The contrast between hot and cold stimulates blood circulation, strengthens the immune system and has a revitalising effect on the body and mind. The cold has a tightening effect on skin, relieves muscle tension and helps to accelerate recovery.

Hairdresser and wellness zone

On the same floor, you'll find a hairdresser and wellness zone – a relaxation room with scalp massage and short treatments for hair, skin and beard. Here you can take a break and enjoy revitalising me-time before dinner, a meeting or conference.

Spa experiences for all the senses – with pool, rain walk and rhassoul

The spa’s more sensory experiences await on the third floor. Here you can dip into a pool (5.9 m x 4 m) surrounded by Moorish niches or enjoy the warmth of an infrared sauna made of magnolia wood. You can retreat to a private room with hot water pool and shower for salt scrubbing or try our rain walk – a shower experience inspired by tropical rain that stimulates both skin and the reflex zones in your feet.

On the same floor, you can also experience rhassoul, a Moroccan clay ritual with steam and mineral-rich clay that purifies, softens and provides a deep sense of well-being.

Massage, signature treatments and self-care

On the fourth floor are five treatment rooms with therapists and masseurs who offer everything from traditional massages to the spa’s own signature treatments. 

Skin and hair

A distinctive feature of Bristol Spa is the possibility of active self-care. There are mask stations on several floors, where you can apply moisturising masks or peels between experiences – in the lounge, by the pool or in the sauna.

The head spa is a wellness treatment for the scalp and thanks to collaboration with the hotel’s hairdresser, you can finish your spa visit with hair care or styling.

A holistic experience

The spa is designed with attention to detail, from the lighting and music to the textiles and service. Everything is connected to give you a holistic experience that lasts beyond your visit.
