On Wednesday, February 11, the Harbour hotel notified its members that the spa facilities had been closed with immediate effect for an initial period of one week.<\/p>\n

“One of our Environmental Health Officers is currently investigating. We understand that the spa is currently closed for maintenance.”<\/p>\n

The Harbour Hotel in Guildford<\/a> was awarded a TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Award in 2025, and has a 4.1 star rating on the site. A monthly individual HarSPA membership is \u00a385 per month.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Harbour Hotels said: \u201cWe can confirm that Harbour Hotel Guildford made the decision to temporarily close its spa facilities on Wednesday 11th February after identifying an isolated issue within the sauna area.<\/p>\n
