NEW images offer a glimpse into the new outdoor spa which has opened in a plush Glasgow hotel.

Described as a one-of-a-kind winter retreat, THAW is now open for visitors at the city's Kimpton Blythswood Square hotel. 

The Scandinavian-inspired spa is located in the five-star hotel's courtyard and features an open-air hot tub, saunas and steam room.

Guests can choose between two different saunas to suit their preferred atmosphere - whether they'd like to socialise and have fun or destress in "an oasis of calm and tranquillity" with soothing sounds by Glasgow DJ Brian D'Souza.

Accompanying the experience, Blythswood staff will be on hand with glasses of champagne followed by hot chocolate after guests return indoors. 

THAW can be enjoyed exclusively by guests seven days a week alongside the spa’s full 55-minute treatment menu.

Non-residents will be able to book a treatment or the Unwind & Dine package at weekends.

The introduction of THAW is part of the plan for the hotel spa's 'new era', and work is already underway to add a wellness area and unique snowfall feature.

Finlay Anderson, spa director at Kimpton Blythswood Square and area spa director for IHG, 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 re-imagination 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.”
