Spas and salons in Manchester
The City Centre and Deansgate cluster around the office towers and the hotels, with a lunchtime trade in thirty-minute back treatments and an evening one in deep tissue for the gym crowd. The Northern Quarter is where the independent therapists and the Thai studios concentrate, and where hot stone, aromatherapy and holistic sessions are easiest to find. Salford Quays serves the media and business crowd at MediaCityUK, mostly by mobile appointment to hotels and offices, while Didsbury is residential, quieter and books further ahead.
Booking through a venue means fixed opening hours, a reception, changing facilities and often a choice of therapist, which suits people who prefer a business to an individual or who want to book at short notice. Venue listings show the treatment menu, opening hours where supplied, and the rate card. Many offer packages that combine massage with facials, body scrubs or use of a sauna or pool, and some run couples rooms with two therapists working side by side.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose which therapist treats me at a spa?
Usually yes, if you ask when booking and the person is available. Venues with several therapists will often ask about your preference for pressure and gender at the time of booking.
Do spas charge more than independent therapists?
Often, because the rate covers the premises, facilities and reception. In return you get fixed hours, more choice of appointment times and extras such as a sauna or steam room. Compare rates on the treatment pages for your city.
Do spas offer mobile or outcall massage?
A few do, particularly for hotels and corporate events, but most are incall only. If you need a therapist to come to you, the independent therapist categories are the better place to look.
