What restful retreat would be complete without indulging in some serious self care? And what more could three busy working moms hope for than an afternoon spent in peaceful bliss at the Four Seasons Spa?
Earlier this week, I shared our decadent 24 hour Gals “Staycation” when we stayed at the Thompson Seattle. However, the pampering began well before check-in to our beautiful room.
When considering a spa splurge, we knew that the Four Seasons Spa would be the ultimate in a total wellness experience. And, because we wanted to treat ourselves in celebration of our birthdays, we trusted Four Seasons’ reputation for world-class service and beautiful amenities that would truly make us feel spoiled and well cared-for.
We made sure to arrive early for our services; which allowed enough time for us to enjoy the steam room and spend time noshing on snacks and sipping house-made coconut water in advance of our treatments. Upon arrival they offered various raw juices, plush robes (and lockers), and access to both steam and sauna rooms as well as showers and toilettries made available in their well-appointed locker rooms.
Note: I rarely wash my hair…I wasn’t about to get it wet in the steam room! There’s no shame in my game.
As expected, our services were top notch. I enjoyed an 80 minute facial that was the ultimate in relaxation. In addition to masks, exfoliation, vitamin infusions, and extractions, I was also treated to a very comprehensive massage on my neck, shoulders, hands and feet (my favorite!). I left feeling truly relaxed as well as moisturized with my skin glowing (not oily or over-polished). Honestly, as someone who is rather finicky about my skin, the ‘Age Defying’ facial was amazing.
But you don’t have to take my word for it. Learn what Alli and Cassandra had to say about their services:
“I loved the Four Seasons spa. Tucked away from the rest of the hotel activity, the spa was the serene and luxurious experience I hoped for when we were planning our 24 hour girls getaway from small children, work, chores, etc. The highlights for me were the robes – insanely soft and highly coveted! My ‘Medley Massage’ was perfect for those of us who want more than just the relaxation of a Swedish massage but don’t really enjoy the pain of deep tissue work. My masseuse seemed very well-trained and needed no additional input from me after our initial chat about what needed attention, how much pressure, etc. My only disappointment was the lack of a hot tub but the steam room provided a great space for us to get toasty while chatting and relaxing prior to our services” -Cassandra
“An afternoon spent at the Four Seasons spa was such a treat! In keeping with the celebration of our milestone birthdays, I choose the ‘Age-Defying Facial’ and it was more than I could have hoped for. Not only was there the facial but also a head, arm, and foot massage! The customer service was great and the ambiance of the spa was just what we needed to relax, reconnect, and unwind. I would definitely return!” -Alli
Upon completion of our services, we were treated to an extra special champagne toast in honor of the occasion.
If you are interested in a true luxury spa experience, look no further than the Four Seasons Seattle. And, be sure to tell them that we sent you! The Four Seasons Spa made our ‘Gals Getaway’ such a memorable and truly special occasion. Thanks for reading! ~Jenn (Alli and Cassandra)
