About Alexandra

The editor and method behind A spa hotel shortlist, thoughtfully planned

A research notebook for your next trip

Alexandra edits this independent guide. My planning takes explain what I would compare before choosing a stay.

The guide uses the source material listed on Sources and Affiliate Disclosure. I do not claim to have stayed at these hotels or used their facilities.

Selected for a hotel identity, an official spa page and different destination settings. This is a curated shortlist, not an objective best-of ranking.

How I would plan this stay

I am Alexandra, the editor of this source-based shortlist. I use official hotel and spa references to establish the starting facts, then turn them into questions that help readers plan their own stay.

My choice would begin with the city and the appointment I actually want. I would commit once the room conditions and spa arrangements work together, especially when the spa is the reason for the trip.

How these notes are prepared

I compare the hotel identity and address, consult the sources listed in this guide and separate descriptive facts from my planning advice. My notes do not claim a personal stay or an inspection of the property. Photographs show the named property or room category identified in their captions.

Provider availability and conditions can change. I would match the exact room, dates and guest count before comparing offers, then keep the selected inclusions and cancellation deadline with the confirmation.
