Tasty Romantic Treats at The Spa at Brown’s Hotel:

The Chocolate & Rose Pedicure - Whilst reclining on a heated treatment bed, guests can sip either a rose & lychee martini or a hot chocolate.  This pedicure starts with a soothing massage using a warm chocolate sauce.  A delicious blend of brown sugar and chocolate will be the ingredients used for an invigorating exfoliation.  Their feet are then soaked in warm milk infused with rose oil, before enjoying a pressure point massage and a vanilla paraffin foot wrap, making the feet feel super soft.  The nails are shaped and painted with a colour of their choice. (90 mins - £85.00)

The Chocolate & Rose Package - This relaxing treatment starts with a back massage, using a delicious chocolate cream, to ease away tension.  The skin is then cleansed and is followed by a rose oil face, neck and shoulder massage.  A chocolate face mask consisting of a blend of cocoa, honey and oatmeal is then applied and whilst the mask works its magic, guests can enjoy a relaxing scalp massage.  The face mask is then buffed away, allowing the oatmeal to gently exfoliate the skin, before a nourishing face cream is applied.  After the treatment, guests can relax on the heated treatment bed with a glass of chilled Champagne. (75 mins - £90.00)

The above packages are available from 1 February to 31 May 2009.  For Spa reservations please call 0207 518 4009.  Both these treatments can also be bought as a gift voucher, providing the ideal Valentine’s present for a loved one.
