I was spending an afternoon near McGill, doing some window shopping. At some point, my sore feet got the better of me, and I looked up nearby spa options on the internet. This was how I found Spa Eastman.
I have to say that I didn't have very high expectation at first. It is located inside a non-descript, tall office building (on the 16th floor). The reception area has a pleasant look but the clear plastic chairs were more fashionable than comfortable.
But, everything took a turn for the better once I actually checked in. They provide the guests with robes and slippers, and the relaxation room has a wonderful view of the city (now I see why they chose to be on the 16th floor). There are complimentary tea and nuts and oranges.
My masseuse (Nadine) is very pleasant. Her pressure is just right. I definitely felt more rested and soothed afterward.
Finally, a bonus -- there is a shower room, so you can get freshened up for the outside world after a relaxing session.
