The Grand, York has announced that it is set to open its new spa, SubRosa, in December following a £2.5m refurbishment.
The new city centre spa will offer guests three new “rituals” to choose from; Rosa, Alba and Radix.
Rosa will be a full day experience including a 60-minute treatment, full day access, and a Rasul ritual for two.Alba will be a half day spa experience including a 50-minute treatment, half day spa access and lunch in the SubRosa restaurant.
Finally, Radix will be an evening experience including evening spa access, dinner in the SubRosa restaurant, and a glass of champagne.
The extensive refurbishment has also seen the launch of a new restaurant with dishes inspired by Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and Korean cuisine.
SubRosa’s opening comes one year after the appointment of spa director Emma Sorby who has led the evolution and vision of SubRosa since joining in November 2024.
She said: “SubRosa is our solution to prioritising our guest’s wellness needs through a thoughtfully designed, aesthetic spa, leading facilities and comprehensive experiences, alongside honouring the unique and historic legacy of The Grand. We are excited to open our doors, following our extensive refurbishment, and share with our guests how SubRosa will be the new leading city centre spa in York and beyond.
“Each touchpoint has been carefully considered to include innovative new wellness technologies and treatments, as well as developing a wider holistic experience for all of our guests. We were inspired by The Grand’s architecture, ancient spa rituals and York’s symbolism in the development of SubRosa’s concept, which has been an exciting journey to help our guests feel connected to themselves and to history.”
The Grand, York is part of the Splendid Hospitality Group which consists of 24 hotels, owned and directed by Shiraz and Nadeem Boghani.
