Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre occupies 3,000 square feet within Hotel Café Royal on Regent Street, a historic five-star property once frequented by Oscar Wilde. The spa's philosophy blends Eastern and Western wellbeing traditions, reflected in a treatment menu spanning holistic and deep tissue massage, acupuncture, yoga sessions, meditation, flotation therapy, and a traditional hammam. This range sets it apart from more conventional London hotel spas, with acupuncture and flotation therapy in particular drawing visitors seeking treatments beyond standard massage and facials. Therapists are trained across these varied disciplines, and the hammam in particular follows the traditional steam-and-scrub format found in Middle Eastern and North African bathhouses, adapted for a Mayfair hotel setting. Facilities include an 18 metre pool, a Finnish sauna, and the hammam itself, alongside dedicated rooms for acupuncture and yoga. Given the depth of the treatment menu, full spa days running four to five hours let visitors combine several modalities, such as a hammam followed by massage and a yoga session, while single treatments start at sixty minutes for those with less time. Reservations are required for all services; walk-ins are not typically accommodated given the spa's popularity with hotel guests and its central Regent Street location near Piccadilly Circus.
