Which massage is right for you?
Choose Swedish if you want to unwind, if it is your first massage, or if you prefer lighter pressure.
Choose deep tissue if Swedish usually feels too light, or you want focused time on tight shoulders, neck or back.
Choose lymphatic drainage if you want the gentlest touch and a slow, quiet hour.
Add a scalp massage for $50 and 30 minutes, or book a head spa pairing that finishes at the basin.
Every room is warm and quiet, with fresh linens and warm oil. Tell your therapist about any injuries or areas to avoid before you begin.
