Dorchester Collection unveils imagined Spa at Coworth Park with Sand Stone Identity
Coworth Park redefines luxury wellness with a nature-inspired spa and gym featuring Technogym’s sleek design and cutting-edge AI-powered technology.
Set in 240 acres of the Royal Berkshire countryside, Coworth Park, Dorchester Collection’s modern country house hotel in the heart of Berkshire, has launched its reimagined spa. Launched in May 2025, The Spa at Coworth Park offers a deeply intuitive wellness experience, supported by cutting-edge innovation, designed to work in harmony with the surrounding countryside. Teresa O’Farrell, Dorchester Collection’s Global Director of Wellness and Spa, explains how Coworth Park is setting the standard for wellness across the collection.
Creating a considered wellness experience
Working closely with Technogym, Teresa and her team developed an expanded gym space that introduces next-generation technology whilst honouring Coworth Park’s serenity. It is now the largest wellness facility in the Dorchester Collection.
“Movement, sleep, and nutritious foods are the pillars of our wellness offer,” said Teresa. “Technogym are our expert partners for the movement element. They really understand what it means to deliver a premium, luxury service. We wouldn’t look at another brand.”
Coworth Park’s spa and gym were built in 2010, nestled into the hillside and flooded with natural light from the surrounding green space. The 2025 upgrade needed to make the most of the environment, bringing in natural colours and materials to create a wellness space that could only be found at Coworth Park.
Members come to Coworth Park for exceptional service in a tranquil environment, and the gym upgrade had to be next-level. The gym space was expanded and completely refurbished with all-new Technogym equipment, including Technogym Checkup and Biostrength.

Luxury wellness, elevated by Artis
Dorchester Collection and Technogym have enjoyed a long collaboration based on a shared commitment to wellness excellence and customer experience. Coworth Park’s upgraded gym space is one of the first globally to choose Artis Luxury, marking an exciting development in the partnership.
“We choose Technogym Artis Luxury as we knew this beautiful equipment would support our goal of giving our members the very best,” said Teresa. “When we unveiled the new gym, our members were wowed. They knew we were creating something special, but said they didn’t anticipate it was going to be as good as this!”
The Artis Luxury collection combines style and design with Technogym’s latest technology. The range of cardio and strength machines, along with Technogym Checkup and Biostrength, all integrate into the Technogym digital ecosystem, using AI to offer users a new level of personalised wellness. The equipment’s soft, stone-inspired colourway is the perfect choice for Coworth Park’s biophilic aesthetic and has helped to position Coworth Park as a one-of-a-kind wellness destination.

Next-generation wellness with Technogym Checkup and Biostrength
Coworth Park’s upgraded gym also features Technogym Checkup, the AI-powered assessment station that provides users with a wellness age using metrics across body, mobility, balance, mind, strength, and cardio. Technogym Checkup has proved popular with Coworth Park’s members, giving them detailed wellness data, generating workouts, and integrating with the gym equipment, even adjusting the Biostrength machines to each user. Feedback has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with members using their guest passes to show off the new space.
The introduction of Technogym Checkup and Biostrength illustrates the Dorchester Collection’s commitment to tailored, personalised wellness for every user. For Dorchester Collection guests, the Technogym equipment provides a sense of familiarity and a joined-up wellness journey when they are away from home.
“Technogym Checkup and Biostrength help us offer the smart, personalised advances in fitness that people expect, whilst maintaining our luxury aesthetics,” said Teresa. “Technogym have introduced AI in a simple, user-friendly way that creates an enjoyable experience for our members and hotel guests.”
Technogym Educators were on hand for the gym’s opening, and have been delivering weekly education sessions to staff and members, helping everyone get the most out of the new Technogym equipment.

Setting a new standard for luxury wellness
As wellness continues to take centre stage in luxury hospitality, Coworth Park’s iconic gym refurbishment showcases how design and technology can create a world-class experience.
The refurbished spa and gym are a strategic vision brought to life, setting an internal benchmark for the Dorchester Collection. The gym is already influencing future developments across the collection, including at planned properties in Tokyo and Dubai, where Technogym will once again collaborate as trusted wellness partner.
