Norfolk Mead Hotel launches UK's very first beer spa where you can bathe in ale and drink pints
International news
The Norfolk Mead Hotel, near Norwich, opened the beer spa in August and it is the first one to open in the UK. Guests are invited to soak in the ale which experts claim is actually good for your body.
Experts say that the malt and hops improve skin ailments, soothe aches and pains and reduce signs of ageing. The antioxidant treatment at The Norfolk Mead Hotel costs £68 per person for 45 minutes. Guests enter a wooden tub filled with vitamin-rich malt and hops and get their own beer tap, with Woodforde's Brewery the supplier.
As well as relaxing in a tub of ale, guests can enjoy a range of treatments including a 23-carat gold facial, a mud chamber and coconut milk body wrap. Not only is there a beer spa, but there is also a therapy zone combining a mud room, treatment suites, a nail bar and a space-age relaxation area with S-shaped loungers and mood music.
