In the current economic downturn few UK cities can boast the creation and opening of an £8m purpose-built treatment room spa and gym.

But Chester is thowing-off the recession blues with the launch of The Club and Spa at Hoole Hall and Paul Kelsall will ensure the lavish new facilities are fit for business.

Paul is the newly-appointed manager of The Club and Spa and has more than 16 years experience within the UK's £2 billion pound wellbeing and fitness industry.

Paul says: "Under the current climate it's unlikely you'll see the opening of another luxury spa and state-of-the-art gym of this calibre in the UK. This gives The Club and Spa and Chester a real opportunity to be a leading light in innovative indulgence and we can genuinely say we have cutting-edge fitness technology.

"We'll have unique treatments, technology and expertise you won't find anywhere else in the UK. I'm really excited about unveiling the details about the exclusive elements to The Club and Spa over the next few months as we build-up to the launch in November."

The Club and Spa stands in the stunning grounds of the former 18th century Hoole Hall manor house, which is now the beautiful Doubletree by Hilton Chester hotel and restaurant.

Currently under construction, The Club and Spa will feature an extra spacious gym with advanced personal Technogym stations, high impact studio and yoga room.

The spa will have a couple's suite, Rasul, relaxation lounge and a specially crafted range of natural treatments. All held within 25,000 sq m of beautifully designed space that includes an indoor pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a Watsu pool where you swim from inside to outside!

Paul says: "With holidaymakers staying in the UK, a world-class wedding venue next door in the form of the Doubletree by Hilton Chester and the fact that people are looking for a bit of escapism from the economy, our day spa has good opportunities to establish itself ahead of any recovery.

"And gym membership is no longer thought of as just a luxury. It's a necessity for busy people with busy lives who care about their health, wellbeing and fitness. Our advanced techniques and technology will give people the optimum workout in the time they have available."

Both The Club and Spa at Hoole Hall and the Doubletree by Hilton Chester are operated by Sanguine Hospitality Ltd and are located on Warrington Road, Chester CH2 3PD, seconds away from junction 12 of the M53.
