Once you’re feeling energised, it’s time to move mindfully. Just a short 12 minute walk away, RESET by FORM offers calming yoga and reformer Pilates classes in a beautifully designed, tranquil space. Step into a moment of calm in the city, you’ll leave feeling centred, recharged, and ready for whatever comes next.
Treat Yourself: Spa Time
Indulge in some well-deserved relaxation time, head down to our 18-metre swimming pool and relax in our spa pool before rejuvenating with some nearby spa treatments. From soothing massages to revitalising facials, NinaSpa and other local wellness spots provide the perfect escape to reset body and mind.
Lunchtime Recharge
After your treatment, head down to Embankment Cafe our on-site cafe for a delicious fresh lunch. If you fancy heading back into the city hop on a tram or take a leisurely 15 minute stroll to Mala, where you can enjoy a nourishing lunch packed with vibrant flavours. Afterwards, grab a coffee to go and wander through Piccadilly Gardens, taking in the fountains and city atmosphere.
