Loews believes that a spa hotel in Kansas City shouldn’t limit its treatment rooms to a single space. Indeed, the luxury spa has five treatment rooms, and each is as unapologetic as the next. It’s the place to be to loosen your muscles after a long swim in the indoor saltwater lap pool. Your pruney skin will be massaged back to its supple yet smooth complexion after a mix of natural lotions and oils is rubbed into every pore.
