First open-air spa at open in Glasgow at top Scottish hotel

A top Scottish hotel is set to open a one-of-a-kind winter retreat, creating Glasgow's first outdoor spa – complete with an open-air hot tub – when it opens in the city this November.

Winter Spa Garden, THAW, is set to launch at the Kimpton Blythswood Square with residents at the five-star destination hotel able to enjoy Scandinavian-inspired luxury.

Guests can look forward to immersing themselves in the elements at the pop-up spa – situated in the exclusive secluded courtyard of the city’s only five-star hotel – which features facilities including an open-air hot tub and purpose-built sauna and steam rooms.

Residents at the hotel can enjoy the new outdoor experience seven days-a-week, alongside the spa’s full 55-minute treatment menu, while non-residents will be able to book a treatment or the Unwind & Dine package at weekends.

THAW’s arrival also heralds a new era at Kimpton Blythswood Square, with work already underway as part of an extensive reimagination of the hotel’s award-winning Spa, which will see the addition of a whole new spa, blissful wellness area and unique snowfall feature.

The spa’s popular thermal suite and relaxation pool will remain open exclusively to hotel guests until November 3, while the full range of luxurious, holistic, body treatments will be available to enjoy throughout the renovation.

Spa Director at Kimpton Blythswood Square, Finlay Anderson, said: “Luxury is a signature of the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, and few things say it more than an open-air spa. It’s tremendously exciting to bring Glasgow’s first outdoor spa to Kimpton Blythswood Square and we can’t wait for guests to enjoy it.

“The Spa at Blythswood has been a central part of the Kimpton experience, and it was essential to us to ensure guests continue to enjoy the facilities they expect.

“The reimagination of the Spa at Blythswood will make the guest experience even more special, and we look forward to revealing more details in the coming months.”
