Take a break from wedding planning at The Grove

The Sequoia Spa at The Grove

Located in Hertfordshire, The Grove has completed an extensive refurbishment of its Sequoia Spa, which is the perfect location to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

After undergoing a three-phase refurbishment, the spa has transformed to offer guests an enhanced experience with new treatments, including relaxing and rejuvenating facials and massages. After each treatment, guests can enjoy the new relaxation room while sipping on a refreshing herbal tea.

Enjoy a variety of delicious dishes from Sequoia Kitchen before taking a splash in the pool or discovering the extended heat experience area, which features the spa bath set within the walls and floors with back-illuminated onyx panels, a sauna and a modern steam room.

Debbie Rogers, the spa director at Sequoia Spa, says, “The refurbishment of Sequoia Spa is extremely exciting and will continue to enhance the experience for both spa members and guests of The Grove. Throughout the spa, warm earthy tones have been used, contributing to the peaceful and nature-inspired ambience.” She adds, “Natural materials will be used as part of The Grove’s ongoing goal to bring together the beautiful gardens and its outstanding interiors and facilities. We look forward to welcoming guests.”

Steeped in history, the venue offers 300 acres of stunning Hertfordshire countryside ready for guests to explore. The hotel’s exterior is nothing short of grand and the formal gardens are complete with an ornamental canal, bright flowers and views over the golf course.
