New COMO Shambhala Urban Escape Opens at the Metropolitan London
In the tradition of COMO Shambhala, it will offer key Asian-inspired therapies as well as a resident acupuncturist. Among the treatments on offer are the Dr. Perricone facials; the COMO Shambhala Urban Escape is the only spa in the U.K. to work with this popular U.S. product line. Internationally renowned for creating treatments that target wrinkles and the effects of ageing on the skin, Dr Perricone facials use patented nutrients for skin health, resilience, and radiance that revitalize the skin. The spa is also offering COMO Shambhala PURIFY facials, suitable for men and women. The products, developed by COMO Shambhala, are rich in antioxidants and botanicals to detoxify at a deeper level. Body therapies include the signature COMO Shambhala Massage, a nurturing massage using COMO Shambhala's own blended massage oil to calm the mind and rejuvenate the body.

In response to the hotel's male clientele, COMO Shambhala Urban Escape offers dedicated treatments for men including facials and massages. The Complete Man treatment includes a back cleanse followed by a mask application to the back teamed with a scalp massage. Tension is then released with a Deep Tissue Massage before concluding with an Express Men's Facial and a hand scrub.

In the future, COMO Shambhala Urban Escape will also welcome regular visits by expert therapists who have trained at the group's other spas worldwide. They might include osteopaths, nutritionists, and reflexologists. The spa is open to guests, locals, and visitors.

The sleek, minimalist interior of the Metropolitan London is reflected in the design of the new spa Linzi Coppick of Forme UK created a clean-lined, peaceful sanctuary for those looking to escape the pressures of city life. There are six treatment rooms, two of which are doubles. The double treatment rooms feature steam rooms, and the new spa also incorporates expanded gym and yoga facilities. The comfortable reception has a dedicated retail space exclusively stocking COMO Shambhala products, including yoga wear from the COMO Shambhala Active Living Collection, and the company's hair, skin, and body care products blended from natural essential oils.
