| - Went back for the sixth time and it's still one of my favorite places in Phoenix. Of course, I left the gift card my brother gave me for xmas at home, but oh well, another excuse to go back again. This was my first hot stone massage at the Fairmont and it was one of the best. The services are all great, but what I love is the complete experience. Booking one service gets you access to the entire gym and spa for the day. Take advantage of it and get there hours before your service. I like to work out for 1-2hrs, then soak in the waterfall hot tub. Head up to the roof to the pool and chill in a cabana that can be closed (encompassing two lounge chairs) for some privacy, or just swim and relax. I was told they are building a nice bar (complete with alcohol) this summer, which will be a nice treat.
The men's facility is amazing. There's a eucalyptus inhalation room, jacuzzi, and Swiss shower, plus plenty of regular showers, shaving areas, and great apples and beverages. After cleaning up, I get my services, then shower again and hang out by the pool for a bit longer.
My only dissatisfaction is the food. Don't bother getting it from the spa, it's terrible. I've tried it twice and it failed to please both times. That being said, be sure to ask for the specials when you book because there are always deals going on. Also, sign up for the President's club when you arrive (it's free and you get 10% off future services).
