Rooftop COMO spa at The Met is postponed

Development work has been postponed 'until further notice' on an expansive rooftop spa overlooking Hyde Park, which was to open at The Metropolitan hotel in London, UK, by the end of 2009.

A spokesperson said: "Given the current economic situation, The Metropolitan has postponed the building of the rooftop spa until further notice - the plan is to revisit the idea in the near future." 

The project would have seen the addition of a whole new floor to the building, covering two levels.

The first level was to feature six treatment rooms, a glass-roofed reception, a relaxation area and a COMO Shambhala boutique.

Also on that level was to be a presidential suite with direct access to the spa.

A mezzanine floor above, with a gym and yoga studio, was also planned as well as a whirlpool with room for up to 25 people. Details: metropolitan.como.bz
