Hotel to open 'channel swimmers' spa
The Dover Marina Hotel is taking a new direction for next year, by investing in a spa.
The hotel's health club, which is open to non-guests as a membership club, will be refurbished and taken upmarket.
Spa facilities will be added to the mix and the main target market is slightly unusual - people who are training to complete the increasingly popular swim across the English channel.
Many people train for the event in the area and all wellness packages at Dover Marina Hotel will be built around this.
Spa Creators is currently advising the hotel on the design and mix of treatments.
