5* Hotel with Private Hot Tub

Alcmene

Hello all

We are after a 5* Hotel for a weekend, quite flexible on dates (sometime end of May or June) and even location (though within driving distance from Lancashire). We would just really love to relax and specifically would love a hot tub.

Does anyone have any suggestions that won't require me to re-mortgage?

Forgive my ignorance, but is a hot tub one of those things that goes outside? But you want a hotel room with a hot tub in your room ....?

I can recommend a fabulous cottage in the peak district with it's own private (outdoor) hot-tub?

Even better than a hotel

Wouldn't an indoor hot tub be a jacuzzi?

Isn't a Jacuzzi a chav name for a Spa?

I don't think so.

A spa is a place you go for a spa day!

Being fortunate enough to stay in beautiful hotels throughout the world on a regular basis and having stayed in one last night i can assure you it is always called a spa.

You've lost me.

In my world :rolleyes: a hot tub is a tub of bubbly water outdoors. A jacuzzi is a bathtub with jets in it and a spa is a health club either like Champneys/The Sanctuary or a similar thing attached to a hotel (but not private).

The OP is looking for a 'private hot tub'. I don't think s/he's looking for a hotel with a public spa/health club in it.

Ah, do you mean 'spa bath' rather than 'spa'?

When you go to a hotel generally you go to the leisure/fitness/wellbeing suite where you have a pool, sauna, spa and steam room.

Point being the Spa is a small seated pool of water which is hot and has jets of water and bubbles in. This i assume is what you mean by a jaccuzzi. On a more personal level the Spa is known as a hot tub - although im certain hot tubs are normally outside.

OP: Most good 4/5 star hotels will have a Spa, one of my favourite hotels in Lancashire is the Hilton Deansgate. The fitness suite is great with a long pool above reception. The Spa is small at the side of the pool but of an evening is all lit up with blue lighting creating an excellent atmosphere. Very romantic. In addition the rooms are great and the restaurant is one of the best ive been in up North.

I'm afraid we're on different things here.

A jacuzzi, to me, is what my parents have in their bathroom, and what I turned 30 in at the Bellagio in Vegas. A private bath tub with jets in it.



A hot tub is a similar thing, usually a bit bigger, and situated outside. I used one of these at the cottage I mentioned at xmas.

I often go for beauty treatments in a hotel 'spa', but as I wouldn't sit in a public pool of water anyway, I don't know what you'd call those.
