Nestled in Yorkshire’s historic city of York, The Grand, York, is a landmark 207-bedroom hotel that sets the benchmark for modern British luxury.
Last year, following a £2.8 million extensive refurbishment, the hotel unveiled SubRosa, an exquisite brand-new spa set within the heart of the hotel’s vault.
A true testament to its unique and state-of-the art wellness offering, SubRosa has now been awarded Five Bubble Luxury status by the Good Spa Guide, recognising it among the UK’s leading spa experiences.
The accolade represents the highest classification within the Guide’s rating system, reserved for those delivering exceptional standards across facilities, treatments and service. Spa reviewers commended the beautiful design, thoughtfully-created thermal facilities and range of treatment offerings.
SubRosa introduces a globally inspired wellness concept, beginning with a collection of marocMaroc rituals rooted in Moroccan traditions, using ingredients such as argan oil and amber to detoxify, restore and rejuvenate.
The treatment menu also features therapeutic massage and results-driven facials, including partnerships with advanced skincare brands.
SubRosa is the first spa in the North of England to offer treatments from marine biotech brand SeaBody, designed to support skin health through bioactive formulations. Alongside the treatments, the spa offers an Immersive Sunlight Experience to energise the mind, body and soul.
The all-new facilities also include a Tirol hot sauna, Himalayan salt sauna, a Salt and Light Therapy room, herbal steam room, herbal lounge, a state-of-the-art large hydrotherapy pool, foot spas, a relaxation room and more.
Widely recognised as the UK’s most prominent specialist spa guide, The Good Spa Guide is a trusted voice for ratings across the country, with reviews reflecting overall experience, including facilities, service and treatments.
Emma Sorby, Spa Director at The Grand, York, comments: “Achieving Five Bubble Luxury status is a proud achievement for SubRosa and a testament to the team’s vision and attention to detail. We set out to curate a distinctive wellness experience that combines heritage with innovation, and this recognition reflects the quality of offering our guests can expect.”
SubRosa is open daily and welcomes overnight and day guests of The Grand. Bookings are available for treatments, packages and dining at SubRosa restaurant, which offers dishes inspired by Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and Korean cuisine.
