Leo’s Bar & Restaurant

Did someone say, ‘post-spa cocktails’? Meet us at Leo’s. Perfect for those whose espresso comes in a glass on Friday nights, this buzzing hangout has relaxed seating, ambient lighting and stunning cityscape views, overlooking the last remaining Roman Wall. 

Drinks here are an art-form, created with flair by expert mixologists. Our tip? Try the Cotton Candy Martini! Then, when it comes to dinner, choose something from the grill, like shrimp, chicken or a juicy steak.

Corvo Bar & Cafe

Fancy a quick coffee, light bite or a tasty lunch? Corvo is the hotel’s cafe bar and it brings a bit of continental flair to Tower Hill. Stylish and sociable, expect interesting sandwiches available to eat-in or take-away.

Yes it does. Well, is it even a spa day if you don’t snaffle dinky sandwiches, crumbly scones and cute cakes? Served in stylish bird-cage stands, expect three tiers groaning with goodies. Choose from Traditional or Royal, which includes a glass of bubbly. Make sure you wear your stretchiest waistband - afternoon teas here are filling!

Yes there is. Turn your spa day into a spa day by checking-in to one of 317 huge guest rooms - some even come with views of Tower Bridge from floor-to-ceiling windows (double-glazed, so you can see the buzz but not hear it!).

Nuzzle into comfort on the signature DREAM BED for a blissful night's sleep. Opt for a Deluxe or Executive room for additional perks. Whether you're a family of four, a couple, or a solo spa-goer, you'll find the perfect space to unwind in the heart of London.

For overnight stays, check-in is from 3pm, and you need to check out before 11am. For spa packages, check-in times vary so do check your booking confirmation.

Yes it is, with a number of wheelchair friendly hotel rooms. The hotel is also just a few minutes from Tower Hill Station, which has step-free access.

Love to spa and sightsee? You’ll be in heaven here. The hotel has a central location near Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, so you can go and admire the Crown Jewels and see the ravens close-up. 

Tower Hill tube station is a two-minute walk away, while Fenchurch Street station and Tower Gateway DLR station are only a four-minute walk away. The whole of London is at your manicured fingertips!

Although you have to be 18 or over to have treatments at Rena Spa, the hotel is family-friendly. Kids under 16 can splash in the pool to their hearts’ content at weekends, or between 9.30 and 11.30am, 2.30pm and 4.30pm and 8pm to 10pm each weekday. 

Superior rooms have two queen beds so the whole family can share. There are children’s menus for picky eaters, and you’re in pole position for family-friendly attractions like the Tower of London, the Bank of England Museum and Borough Market.

Sorry it isn’t. No pets allowed at the spa or the hotel. Guide dogs only.

No, this is an urban retreat in the heart of London and as such, there’s not a golf course nearby. But if you’re here for a hen party or a birthday celebration, you’ll find plenty of intriguing ways to have fun after your spa session. 

How about a trip to Swingers Crazy Golf - City? Just an eight-minute walk from Rena Spa, you’ll think you’re in a 1920s golf club in the countryside, thanks to its elegant clubhouse and rolling (if fake!) greens.
