Pace Health Club & Nu Spa

The Pace Health Club & Nu Spa sits inside the Park Inn by Radisson hotel, on the edge of the city centre, close to Manchester Arena and Victoria Station.

If you’re looking for a spa day in Manchester city centre, it’s worth checking out the packages here – they’re reasonably priced and cater for groups. As well as the treatment rooms, there is a swimming pool with loungers, a sauna and a steam room, so it’s the sort of place where you can really slow down and relax (perhaps with a glass of prosecco pool-side).

They don’t offer beauty treatments but there’s a lovely range of facials and massages. Look out for their group rates if this is a girl’s (or boy’s) weekend away.

They also offer day passes which give you 9am-5pm access to the pool, sauna, steam room and gym (and fluffy robes and slippers) starting at £30.

The gym is spread over two fitness suites and includes cardio and resistance equipment, a functional training area, cross trainers, spinning bikes, rowers, free weights and barbells. Peak time membership is £45 a month and includes access to the pool, sauna and steam room. One-to-one swimming lessons are available in the pool.
