New underground Glasgow spa Atera opens on Oswald Street

Underneath Oswald Street may not be your first guess when I asked you to name where I've found one of the most relaxing places in Glasgow, but a new spa has changed that.  

atera Bathhouse and Spa has officially opened, bringing a new Mediterranean wellness destination to the heart of the city centre.  

The Glasgow Times was invited to try out the subterranean bathhouse earlier this week ahead of its opening.

When I first saw the images when we reported on this spa opening in June this year, I couldn't imagine that when it opened it would really live up to those.  

But walking into atera, I instantly knew I was about to be proven wrong. 

As soon as my friends and I walked in and started to make our way down the stairs into what used to be Pace Health Club below the Radisson Blu, we were instantly blown away.

We were given a locker, towel, robe, and flip-flops to use for the duration of our visit and given a guide of the facilities that would be available to use that day.  

My friend and I first decided to go into the hydrotherapy pool........
