Crafted pre-opening episode 2; Wellness Is Crafted a wellness hotel and members club? you decide.. sauna ✅ ice bath ✅ hot tub ✅ wild swimming ✅ ritual and meditation room ✅ padel courts ✅ gym ✅ exercise studio ✅ weekly class programme ✅ treatments ✅ ..but in addition to all these that are more commonly referenced to wellness, we also have an art studio and a craft barn where guests and members can focus on creating, playing or making. Tasks brilliant for quietening our minds and providing a break from routine or perhaps creating a new regular positive habit. Nature is a well documented and powerful tool for health and we're lucky to have a 7-acre private lake as well as streams and woods and fields which head off beyond our 78 acres into the Sussex countryside so whether you’re floating around in or on the water, or just seeing the flash of a kingfisher across your path, these are all hugely positive things for our mental wellbeing. I personally don't think of Crafted as a wellness hotel and club as these things are just a part of what we offer but it is a really important part. We're just getting started and i hope that we'll have the opportunity to provide a safe space for people to try lots of new things that they're curious about or might not have heard of before. We're already building a roster of experts and collaborators we'd love to share but if you have any ideas or people we might want to work with then please do get in touch with myself or stephanie cowton; we'd love to hear from you 🙏 (and yes that is the view from the sauna but admittedly it is a CGI of the Padel Courts as these aren't in just yet) #wellbeing #hotelsandclubs #staycrafted
This concept of crafting experiences beyond just wellness amenities is so compelling. The art studio and craft barn add such a unique dimension for guests to truly disconnect and create. Love this holistic approach to wellbeing!
This looks incredible. All of it. Yes please.
I love what you’re building Chris King and can’t wait to get down there over the next few months

1moAbsolutely love this! And that poignant question of "Is Crafted a wellness hotel?" and showing that the next frontier of wellness for hotels lives well beyond the spa and is instead embedded in all aspects of the space, as wellness is life itself. Especially in quiet ways, "how do guests feel a deeper sense of wellbeing in the restaurant?" And,"how do guests feel a deeper sense of wellbeing just by sharing space with other guests?" As ultimately, wellbeing is to live a life filled with alivenes, purpose, connection and creativity and where better to do that, than in a hotel. Can't wait to visit!
