Cliveden House was once the home of Nancy Astor; Born in the United States, incredibly rich, fiercely intelligent and in 1919, the first woman to take her place in the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament.
Today, Cliveden, on the banks of the River Thames in Berkshire, is a luxury hotel and from 1 November, the OTO brand will be doing a four-month residency at the hotel’s spa with CBD-based treatments; one of a growing number of luxury hotels that does.
The OtO brand is now used in several luxury hotels in London.

With changes in the law in recent years, CBD (Cannabidiol) is legal in the UK as long as it does not contain more than 0.2% THC, the component that gives cannabis its psychotic effects. Their acceptance by established hotels is an invaluable marketing tool for brands in the luxury end of the CBD market.
OTO has also started spa partnerships with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge and the Bokeh Spa at the Montcalm Hotel in Marble Arch. Both will offer stand-alone treatments, where CBD is infused with different aromatherapy oils; Mandarin Oriental’s relaxing massage uses jasmine, helicris and Roman chamomile, with grape seed and coconut oil as carrier oils.
