| - I used a Groupon for this for 60-min Aromatherapy + backscrub for $145. The Groupon was a great deal because it also came with a RMT receipt for $145, and they always have so many coupon codes going on!
The Spa at Four Seasons is located on the 9th floor. Beautiful lighting in the hallways, but I find the reception area to be surprisingly cramped, with their product selection stashed very closeby. Check-in was very smooth and gracious, and our jackets were checked. I was then escorted inside the changerooms and shown to my locker, and after changing into my robe, I was given a short tour of the area. The steam room was still under construction at the time of my visit.
The changerooms have different sized lockers, with the digital locking system, comes with slippers, a robe, some hangers and a towel, although there are towels everywhere. There is a large sitting/lounging area with tea, biscotti and plenty of magazines for you to relax in before/after treatment. The pool area also has lots of comfy seating all around, but is open to all hotel guests too, so there's not much of the "tranquil" environment. The hot tub is off to the side, and is not very large. There are showers off to the side of the pool to quickly rinse off.
About 5 minutes before your treatment, you are asked to wait in a specific area with very cool "S" shaped lounge chairs, and to fill in a form. You are then picked up and guided to the room.
I enjoyed my aromatherapy VERY much. I was provided a selection of oils called Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, and I was given a thorough description of my services and what to expect. I was asked for my problem areas. The massage itself was very good - perfect pressure, and had that zen-like ritualistic quality to it, including the ringing of a bell to start off the session.
Afterwards, my therapist gave me some advice on how to relieve backpain on a daily basis, and gave me some chamomile tea. The shower area seems quite small - only 3 shower stalls, but they were huge! I loved the products provided (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream), all natural and wonderfully scented. My only gripe is there didn't seem like enough vanity areas, to dry hair/apply makeup, etc. Nor was there someone you could sit in from of the mirror.
Overall, I would rate this right up there with Elmwood. I love Elmwood's natural lighting in the changerooms, but the RMT here was fantastic, and I loved the "ritual" of it. 4.5 star!
