We are delighted to announce Carla Belmonte as our new Spa Manager. Carla brings a wealth of experience, passion, and dedication to the position, along with a personal connection to Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa.
Carla’s journey with Bedford Lodge Hotel began over 25 years ago, when she secured her first role after college in the original spa facilities, then just two treatment rooms within the leisure complex. Carla worked under ‘Beyond the Fringe’ at Bedford Lodge Hotel for two years before going on to lease the space and co-found Beauty Stakes at the hotel, running the business for five successful years. Her career then took her across the globe and then to London, but she has now come full circle, returning to the very place where her professional journey began.
Carla states; “I’ve been at the Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel at the spa for three years as Assistant Spa Manager, and stepping into the role of Spa Manager feels like a homecoming. Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa has always been a special part of my life and career, and I’m thrilled to lead this incredible team and continue to build on the spa’s reputation for excellence.”
Carla’s extensive career in the beauty and wellness industry spans over 30 years, during which she has honed her expertise in spa management, customer care, and team leadership. Her impressive résumé includes running her own businesses, excelling in roles that required her to drive customer satisfaction, streamline operations, and deliver world-class spa experiences.
Noel Byrne, Chief Executive, Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa states; “We are excited to have Carla step into this leadership role. Her dedication, wealth of experience, and deep-rooted passion for wellness and the hotel make her the perfect fit as Spa Manager. Carla’s vision and expertise will undoubtedly elevate the customer experience and our own positioning as a leading spa destination in East Anglia.”
