An 11-metre heated indoor pool; without a stay, one hour of spa access for €50.
The spa’s heated indoor pool is 11 metres long and 1.2 metres deep, according to the hotel’s French pool page (“36ft long and 4ft deep” in English); its grey-green and white mosaic is by Bisazza, according to IHG. It shares the Wellness Area with a sauna, a steam room and a gym, and opens daily with the spa: 10am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays, according to the spa’s page (a 9am opening according to the English FAQ and IHG). Access is included for hotel guests.
Without a stay, the spa sells an entry fee: “Accès Espace Wellness 1h” (one hour in the Wellness Area) for €50, booking required, according to its booking engine and its menu, which do not say “per person”; in our reading, this fee is for visitors, since the spa’s English page includes access for hotel guests. That hour is included with any treatment of 60 minutes or more, according to the spa’s page (“Free with any treatment from €60”, according to its menu), and the spa’s formulas include one or two hours (the Well-being formula, at €180, includes one). These terms are published by the spa operator, Maison CODAGE; the text of the hotel’s pages does not mention them, but its spa page links to the menu and the booking engine.
