“The Spa is the cherry on the cake of the guest experience at Brown’s”

Secluded beneath London’s oldest hotel is a subterranean sanctuary. A welcome pause from outside life, step inside and meet the specialist team behind the boutique spa experience at Brown’s Hotel.

The journey from the whimsically wallpapered lobby to the softly-lit spa offers a glimpse of the hotel’s many layers. Even before entering the treatment rooms, tension begins to melt away amid ambient music and botanical scents. Spa Manager Olga Holub reflects, “We keep things simple. Fresh plants, a touch of Sicily, it feels unique”. Simplicity done well certainly reflects the Sicilian way of life, and for a moment, it’s easy to forget you’re in Mayfair while at once feeling remarkably grounded.

Focusing solely on personalised treatments delivered with genuine warmth, The Spa at Brown’s offers a holistic wellbeing journey that starts with building a connection with every guest. At the heart of the experience are Olga and Lead Therapist Erica Riva. Their dedication and expertise foster an intimate environment where guests feel heard. As Erica explains, “We are a small spa, and we pay attention to the small details”.

Tailored Wellbeing

To create a truly personalised experience, Olga, who has been an integral part of the spa for eight years, suggests consultation is key: “We ask what our clients need, assessing their mood, stress levels, and anything that may be impacting them. It may be a simple boost for their skin – and sometimes this can be achieved via a treatment that lifts their energy and mood”.

Erica, for whom ‘Brown’s feels like home’ after two years here, agrees: “People may request a massage, but what they essentially want is full relaxation. It’s important for us to understand what motivates their specific request. The more we get to know the person, the better we can choose the right approachWhat people think they need isn’t always what the body is asking for. It’s about taking the time to build trust and ask the right questions”.

For Olga, welcoming return guests is a testament to that trust building: “People come back to us over many years, knowing we centre their wellness goals in the experience”. Each guest enjoys a bespoke welcome, explains Erica: “People coming to us for the first time can feel nervous, so we prioritise inspiring confidence and helping them relax. On the other hand, those more used to getting treatments often know exactly what they’re looking for, and our challenge is to delight them with our skills and approach.

Nature’s skincare

During her decade of experience in the wellness industry, Erica has seen clients become increasingly educated on the body-mind connection, actively pursuing that balance and requesting natural products: “Ingredients are key. People are paying more attention to nourishment – living well from the inside – and this reflects what they want to put on their skin”.

This outlook aligns perfectly with the philosophy behind Irene Forte Skincare, whose products are described as a ‘Mediterranean diet for the skin’. Rooted in nature, the range reflects the values of its eponymous founder and the pioneering work of Scientific Director Dr. Francesca Ferri.

Erica shares, “Irene Forte Skincare is what beauty therapists dream about. Natural, cruelty-free, and incredibly effective. For example, the Myoxinol in our Hibiscus Serum mimics cosmetic injectables – we call it nature’s Botox. The Pistachio Face Oil and Prickly Pear products are derived from the organic farm at Verdura Resort in Sicily.”

Made for families

Famously family orientated, Brown’s offers spa treatments to little ones from just four years old, including tiny bathrobes and slippers: “Alongside the usual professional skills, therapists must know how to interact with young children to ensure mum is comfortable and can relax into her treatment.

Our Mummy and Me Time allows the two generations to be pampered together before enjoying Afternoon Tea in our lovely Drawing Room. It’s amazing to be a part of their bonding experience”.

Erica finds working with the spa’s teenage guests especially rewarding: “We have young girls coming in for facials who have found very unsuitable skincare advice on social media. Here, we can offer the correct guidance, and it’s beautiful to help them on that journey.”
