Singapore-based hospitality operator Como Hotels and Resorts has announced that the Shambhala Urban Escape is to open at its Metropolitan London property on 16 October.

The group said its facility, which will provide an "intimate, results-driven spa", aims to demonstrate its holistic approach and offer treatments developed at resort spas across the world.

Linzi Coppick of Forme UK has led the design of the new Como Shambhala Urban Escape, which features six treatment rooms; two of which will be doubles and offer steamrooms.

The new spa also includes an expanded gym and yoga facilities, while the reception will have a dedicated retail space stocking Como Shambhala products.

Treatments will include Dr Perricone, with the Metropolitan London set to become one of the first UK spas to work with the US product line.

A spokesperson said: "The space is designed for city dwellers, hotel guests and visitors to the capital and has been designed based on the popularity and the deep loyalty shown to the Como Shambhala brand worldwide.

"Como Shambhala Urban Escape will also offer guests the benefit of regular visits by expert therapists who have trained at other Como Shambhala spas worldwide."
