Have you ever met someone that embodies everything they stand for? Meet Ashley Abraham: The boss queen and Retreat Manager extraordinaire behind the mask…hydrating mask that is! 

As Group Spa and Wellness Manager for Edwardian Hotels London, Ashley brings an undeniable energy and expertise that has transformed The Londoner’s Retreat into a sanctuary for the modern luxury traveler. Her status? Hydrated. Her skin? Flawless. Her background? Impressive. She shifted from a finance career to co-owning a beauty business at the famed May Fair Spa and honed her craft as an expert in facials, permanent makeup, and event beauty—mastering every angle of her art over her seven years in the industry.

Under Ashley’s leadership, The Retreat succeeds in being what an ideal spa should be, a wellness oasis. Picture a serene pool area with private cabanas, treatment rooms offering exclusive Omorovicza facials with scientifically perfected ingredients, and soothing Ila massages infused with essential oils. Every detail is handpicked to elevate relaxation, making it a restorative escape right in the heart of London.

And the canvas for this luxurious wellness haven? The Londoner itself—a super boutique hotel overlooking Leicester Square, with 350 breathtaking rooms and suites, six eclectic bars and restaurants, and even private screening rooms. However, without its people, buildings would just be a collection of walls with no soul, and Ashley very much adds to the soul of wherever she lands.

Ashley asks “what can I do to make you feel better?” as a serious question. And thanks to her expertise and kindness, there’s usually a few things to be done. We leave her presence inspired and remembering the importance of taking care of each other.
