Beneath the vibrant surface of the city and within the Radisson Blu Hotel, Atera Bathhouse & Spa has opened its doors, introducing an ambitious concept that redefines urban thermal wellness.
Developed over 14 months across an extensive space and led by the bbspa Group team alongside Kirsty MacCormick, this new Scottish destination brings together traditional thermal rituals, advanced fitness facilities and a holistic approach deeply rooted in interior design and material quality.
Architecture and Spatial Flow: Where Form Meets Function
Atera's strength lies in the coherence between its spatial concept and therapeutic approach. The layout has been carefully designed to guide guests through a seamless sensory journey. The experience begins with immersion and high-temperature environments, preparing the body for subsequent hands-on treatments.
The interior design reflects a contemporary, understated aesthetic, where warm materials, clean geometries and carefully calibrated lighting transform the underground setting into a retreat from the energy of the city.
