Extension for Spa by von Essen

Hospitality group von Essen is to extend its spa offering with a further seven spas added to their portfolio of UK properties throughout 2010.

The spa facilities will be added to Callow Hall in Derbyshire; Congham Hall in Norfolk; The Greenway in Gloucestershire; Homewood Park in Bath; The Mount Somerset in Somerset and Woolley Grange in Wiltshire. There will also be a standalone spa development in the village of Lower Slaughter in the Cotswolds, which will have combined access to both Washbourne Court and Lower Slaughter Manor.

Elsewhere within the group, the handover has been completed from Weston Homes to von Essen of the Hotel Verta development and the new London Heliport terminal in Battersea, London, UK.

The new 70-bedroom flagship hotel will boast a subterranean spa covering two levels below the property, von Essen's first in London, is scheduled to open in mid-2010 following a final fit out. The project was initially due to open in June 2009, but was delayed several times due to problems in the excavation of the site. Details: vonessenhotels.co.uk
