Spa St-James is by far my favourite spa in Montreal. I've been here several times, and am never disappointed. The staff is lovely and are always very kind and accommodating.
This last time I went, I arrived just on time, and was warmly welcomed by having my coat taken and offered tea while I waited. It took a little longer than usual because I room was being setup, but no inconvenience really. I had a 90-minute massage with Tamberley; very sweet and accommodating. I had mentioned to concentrate on my upper back as I sit in an office chair all day so I have tension in that area. She applied the right amount of pressure and I left feeling relaxed and refreshed.
I hands-down recommend this place to anyone needing some TLC. Prices are decent, especially for downtown Montreal. They also offer tax receipts. Can't wait to go back!
