Welcome to the Aspria Hotel: A Spa And Gym With Rooms On Top
The W Barcelona may be stealing all the headlines but it’s not the only new kid on the European hotel block this autumn. The Aspria Hotel in Berlin looks pretty nice – and it’s rather more affordable, too.
Opening next month on 6 November in the posh Charlottenburg district (west of the Tiergarten), it doesn’t have the most auspicious of pedigrees – Aspria is a chain of health clubs in Europe - but they’re now offering accommodation at their digs in Hannover and Berlin. Original, but interesting – it means that the spa and fitness area are going to be souped up no end. In fact, the Berlin spa is going to be 14,000 m sq – to be shared by just 42 rooms. Look at that pool. We're doing lengths in our heads right now.
The bedrooms sound pretty neat - lots of natural light and funky lines everywhere, but we're most excited about the spa: with a hamam, salt inhalation room, kneipp therapy baths, and a “wave dream installation relaxation room” which sounds pretty awesome, if confusing. Gym bunnies will not only get access to state-of-the-art equipment, but they’ll have plenty of classes up for grabs as well.
Best of all is the price: normally €119 a night, but €89 until 31 January 2010. $129 for a room in Berlin? Not bad at all. In fact, we might hang out here till the W (hopefully) drops its prices....
