Hotel Cafe Royal's Akasha Spa makes it a standout property for wellness-seeking clients

I’m lying beneath the ground in central London. My face is being oiled and kneaded, my nostrils are inhaling the aroma of lavender and eucalyptus. 

 

The only hint that I’m in the UK’s capital is the rumbling of the Piccadilly Line, its thrum grazing the soundscape every 2.5 minutes.
