A new £2 million spa and well-being centre in Harrogate has been completed after a six-month delay because of the coronavirus crisis.

The zen garden and sun terrace at The Harrogate Spa have now been finished, at a cost of £20,000.

They are the final pieces of the development, which officially opened in July without the planned outside area. Situated adjacent to the Doubletree by Hilton Majestic Hotel on Ripon Road, the spa offers an indoor pool and treatment rooms as well as a gym, studio and cafe.

Lynn Roach, The Harrogate Spa director, said:

“We were just a week away from our official opening when the government announced the closure of our industry, which put the brakes on us finishing our two outside areas.

“I’m delighted to say we have now completed our work and they are a superb addition to The Harrogate Spa.

“The zen garden will become a place of tranquillity for those enjoying our facilities and experiencing one of our fantastic holistic treatments.

“We are the only spa facility in Harrogate town centre, and have now written our own chapter in the town’s ongoing spa heritage story.”
