The Best Hotels for Spas

Based on Verified Guest Reviews
Updated: September 23, 2026

A hotel spa earns its place not by existing but by being the reason guests extend the stay. We ranked these ten properties from verified IHG reviews, weighting how often the spa, the treatments, and the thermal facilities were named as the highlight, and how convincingly. From a Surrey country house to a thermal-water property in the mountains of Georgia, these are the hotels where guests checked in tense and checked out a different shape.

HASLEMERE, UNITED KINGDOM

1. voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa

Tucked into the Surrey Hills, this country-house spa is the kind of place guests choose when the goal is simply to unwind. A standout spa, deeply relaxing treatments and peaceful surroundings create the sort of restorative weekend that feels effortless from start to finish.

From start to finish, my experience was wonderful: the staff was very responsive, my room was perfect (maybe a bit too dark), the pool was beautiful (a perfect size to do lengths), best jacuzzi, steam and sauna, the grounds are well maintained and the food was excellent.

GLASGOW, UNITED KINGDOM

2. Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa

A spa retreat in Glasgow that guests return to for deep relaxation rather than sightseeing. Housed in a Georgian townhouse on Blythswood Square, it pairs a standout thermal experience with attentive service, creating the kind of restorative escape travelers describe as one of the city's best.

The spa is amazing and the best in Glasgow by far.

A Stockholm stay that embraces the city's sauna culture, with a spa featuring a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and relaxation spaces that guests describe as the highlight of their visit. It's the kind of restorative retreat that can turn even a work trip into a chance to properly unwind.

The hotel has an Large excellent Gym (open 24/7) on the ground floor but the highlight of my stay was the Pool area with its sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and large relaxation beds.

BATAM, INDONESIA

10. Holiday Inn Resort Batam

At this Indonesian resort, the Tea Tree Spa is the experience guests remember most, with skilled therapists and thoughtful treatments that turn a beach holiday into something deeply restorative.

Specifically like to mention the great steak I had made by Ronny and his team of cooks, and the wonderful spa experience and massage from Myrna.

*How we ranked them: Every hotel on this list was identified through analysis of thousands of verified IHG guest reviews. Hotels are ranked by the proportion of reviewers who positively mentioned the spa, weighted by review volume and sentiment. All reviews sourced from IHG.com.

Cities worth going for the spa

Some destinations are practically built around the idea of being worked on. Budapest sits on thermal springs and has made bathing a civic institution, while Bath has been a spa town since the Romans and still treats wellness as its reason for being. Bangkok offers some of the most accomplished and affordable massage on the planet, and Dubai does opulent hotel spas at a scale few cities attempt. For desert calm, Scottsdale and Palm Springs build their whole hospitality identity around the restorative; Edinburgh makes a quieter, handsomer case in the same direction.

IHG brands with a talent for the spa

Crowne Plaza dominates this list, and it's no accident — across the UK in particular, the brand has built proper day-spa destinations with pools, thermal suites, and treatment menus that locals book even when they're not staying the night. These are spas designed to fill a whole day, not just an hour.

voco brings a more characterful, country-house sensibility to wellness, from the Surrey Hills to Cardiff Bay. The brand pairs strong thermal facilities with settings that do half the work — the kind of places where the view from the relaxation bed matters as much as the massage.

Kimpton approaches the spa the way it approaches everything else: with a sense of place and a focus on service. Its spa properties feel less like clinical wellness centers and more like an extension of the hotel's personality.
