Guests celebrated the opening of the £9.5million roof top garden spa at Rudding Park, Harrogate designed by horticulturalist Matthew Wilson who has worked closely with the hotel on the project for over nine years.

He said: ‘The arrival landscape sets the scene for the very special experience to come, with a sense of strolling through a woodland glade to get to the spa. I’ve created a space that is very calming with its topiary beech domes and ornamental grasses, surrounded by beautiful woodland and trees.’

The spa includes treatments by ila, Elemental Herbology, Carita and Jennifer Young. There is an indoor swimming pool using natural waters from the grounds of Rudding Park, a juniper log sauna, Rasul for traditional Moorish mud treatments, a hair studio, a manicure, pedicure and makeup bar as well as four immersive sensory zones to enhance wellness of mind, body and soul. Kitchen garden cuisine is served at the Horto restaurant with seasonally inspired dishes from chef Murray Wilson.
