The same eight natural mineral springs that inspired your spa treatments were used by Native Americans for their healing properties. You’ll certainly feel how enduring the powers of these springs are when you bathe in these Bedford Baths. Dr John’s Muscle Therapy Massage provides targeted relief to any ache, while a softer Zents Journey Massage will soothe and nourish your skin from head to toe. After a massage, moments of quiet reflection in the serene spa garden will leave your mind as relieved as your muscles.

The Rittenhouse Philadelphia, for serenity in the city

The Rittenhouse wants nothing more than to treat you to an exceptional Pennsylvania spa experience. This spa and health club knows how unique every cell of your skin is, and their experts are well-versed in catering to every inch of your body. After the Bulgarian-based 1000 Roses Facial, the Back and Shoulder Rescue Massage or the Rittenhouse Luxe Ritual Body Treatment, you’ll head back to your suite looking and feeling like someone who doesn’t know the definition of the word stress.

When merely one day at the spa is not enough, Nemacolin delivers a bespoke wellness experience that’s as transformative as it is therapeutic. Begin at the Woodlands Spa and Salon, where wellness gurus will roll out a five-phase full-body balancing ritual that you’ll wish would never end. Float in unadulterated bliss to the Holistic Healing Center for a custom-tailored wellness package, which could include private meditation, cryotherapy, infrared sauna sessions, Gua Sha and PBM therapy.

It’s amazing how 700lbs (318kg) of healing crystals at the Four Seasons’ Spa can lift years of stress off of your shoulders. You’ll feel weightless the minute you step onto the 57th floor – and that’s before anyone lays a finger on you. A full-body crystal oil massage will bring balance to your inner spirit. If you’re lucky enough to have a partner beside you in Philadelphia, treat yourselves to a night spa experience, which includes a couples’ massage on the pool deck and a bottle of champagne.

The Inn at Leola Village, for a historic stay near Lancaster

We believe it’s the Amish antiques that make the spa at the Inn at Leola Village feel simultaneously rustic and refined. With your surroundings all handcrafted with the utmost care, you won’t be surprised that the massage and makeup services deliver the same delicate skill. Martinis and manicures can be ordered alongside apricot and fig clay body masks. For the gents, a Whiskey Zenzero Body Treatment will repair and transform your skin so deeply that you’ll feel like a new man within the hour.

The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia, for putting it on near City Hall

Healing, health and beautification are all prioritized, combining classic massages with medical-grade treatments and traditional rituals like reiki and chakra balancing. You’ll leave feeling renewed in a way that you never knew was possible.

If the Fairmont can loosen up the rigid Steel City, it can certainly make mincemeat of whatever knot in your shoulders needs unraveling. Add on spa access to your hotel stay, and you’ll open yourself to a world of relaxation. Dry cedar saunas, private showers, an advanced fitness center and exceptional pampering are only some of the high-quality perks. Let the staff’s talented hands do a number on your shoulders; then, wash away any lingering tingling in the soaking tub in your one-bedroom suite.

If the thought of an Underground Spa & Wellness center doesn’t send a seductive shiver down your spine, we don’t know what will. Get lost in the premier spa at the Logan, a space that will rejuvenate your senses, balance your mind with your body and leave you in an energized state of Zen. Special massages like Wrist Relief and CBD Quartet are targeted treatments designed to remove stress from where it lingers most.
