There's nothing like a day at the spa to make your vacation perfect. The mere idea of total self-indulgence, of doing something that's only for you after working so hard to earn these days of respite, is renewing to the spirit. We all deserve and need a special day or even a couple of hours for a massage, a facial, or a manicure and pedicure in peaceful surroundings. When you're in New Orleans, here are some great choices for the relaxation you need.
The Spa in the Roosevelt Hotel is a rare chance to experience a truly unique day of luxury. This spa is one of only three in the country and is a not to be missed experience. The prestigious name carries with it years of beauty and relaxation. Fancy a 4-Hand Imperiale massage, a body polish, or a package to cure your jet lag? Who doesn't! At this 25, square foot pleasure palace, you can get a Voodoo Love Massage, an Essence of Magnolia Massage, or any of the Ritz's signature treatments.
This award-winning spa is beautiful and elegant, with gentle fountains and softly draped lighting--a destination unto itself. Belledonna is a local's favorite on Magazine Street. The spa offers balance, restorative treatments, and nourishing the entire person--body, mind, and spirit. Taking the time to just be--restores our mental, physical and spiritual health and allows each of us to meet the demands of each day and give our fullest at whatever else we choose to do.
Besides a great day spa, Belledonna offers some retail therapy with cosmetics and other luxury items available. The best aspect of the Spa Isbel is its ambiance.
In addition to the full-service spa including the European-style facials, Spa Isbell has a hair salon. And, it's easy to get to from the French Quarter or Warehouse District. Serenity Spa is located on the first floor of the J. So, it's at the edge of the French Quarter and easy to get to. Serenity Spa offers a full menu of services, including facials, massages, nail services, waxing, and makeup applications. Earthsavers is a full-service spa with a retail shop in front.
