A Spa owned by and located within a resort or hotel providing professionally administered spa services, with fitness and wellness components and usually spa cuisine menu choices.
These spas differ from Destination Spas as even though a significant number of people staying at the hotel will be there for the spa programmes and facilities, there will also be people who are staying at the hotel but not using the spa. Most Thalasso and Thermal Spas could also be classified as Hotel Spas, however at a Hotel Spa the spa is a facility offered to guests staying at the hotel rather than the reason for the hotel being there in the first place (as with Thalasso/Thermal spas). Hotel Spas have excellent spa facilities and offer a very wide variety of treatment programmes, they may appeal to the spa-goer who would like to combine a spa holiday with other holiday activities.
