Five-star Buxton Crescent Spa Hotel in the heart of The Peak District launches a choice of Mindful Meetings in nature, complementing the hotel’s wellbeing offering and promoting happiness and productivity in the workplace.
Originally built between 1779 – 1789 by the 5th Duke of Devonshire and boasting over 200 years of history, Buxton Crescent today has 81 elegant rooms and suites, and seven exquisite function rooms for hosting meetings and events. Dinner can be served in the hotel’s newly rebranded restaurant, 1789. Delegates can enjoy free use of the Spa facilities, including the bio-thermal sauna combining steam and traditional sauna, the Aroma Steam Room, Relaxation Rooms, as well as the refurbished Victorian thermal pool filled with heated and healing Buxton mineral water and indoor-outdoor rooftop heated pool.
Groups of up to ten delegates can enjoy the hotel’s accommodations, dining and award-winning spa around their meeting schedule and choose from one of four activities in the great outdoors.
These include volunteering with the Peak Foundation, stargazing with a local expert, e-biking along one of many trails across The Peaks and walking in nature for their wellbeing. All activities are designed to bring people together to get to know each other better, learn and develop life skills against the stunning backdrop of The Peak District.
Lewis Howe, Director of Sales says, “We want to offer meetings and events experiences that go beyond the boardroom and make the most of our incredible location and access to nature. We know that when people focus on their own wellbeing, they are at their most happy so we look forward to welcoming groups and showing how combining work and wellbeing can encourage productivity at work.”
