One of the many wonderful things about The Berkeley hotel is its health club and spa which has a roof-top pool and terrace. 

For a real treat and touch of glamour, head to the hotel’s terrace in Knightsbridge which has been transformed into a winter wonderland. 

We felt truly pampered whilst spending an afternoon there.  After a swim, we settled down with a hot chocolate, swamped in warm blankets, surrounded by pine trees and heated lamps. We watched  The Snowman on the terrace’s big screen, which really got us in the mood for Christmas.

 The Berkeley’s Winter Wonderland is the perfect escape from the Christmas shopping and parties and we left the roof-top with a warm glow and festive feeling. 

On the way out, we treated ourselves to a delicious cocktail at the fabulous Blue Bar.

 The Winter Wonderland package until 31 Jan 2011. £50 per person including up to four hours access to the movie theatre, heated pool and health club, hot chocolate and home-made mince pies. Call +44 (0)20 7201 1699 or email healthspa@the-berkeley.co.uk to book.
