Love that Hyatt offers a Wellness Package that includes $75 for the spa or a restaurant as one of its perks! Booking is super easy on the website, and they let you know the specifics of the different services and the costs of them all right there on the site. I booked a 60 minute deep tissue massage (my first ever deep tissue), and Taffy was AMAZING. I was literally left speechless at the end of the massage because she explained step by step what she was going to target and some areas I needed to draw my attention to. We literally worked together to find and release knots, and Taffy made it known that my feedback and response to certain areas was highly valued. I loved that the massage bed can be adjusted, the blankets were plush, the robes are fantastic. The music is there, and it's not distracting. -- For those who'd like a step by step: Enter the spa, get checked in. Locker rooms back out and to the left. These are the same locker rooms that hotel guests use for the pool. Sauna, steam room, bathroom, showers are here. They give you slippers and a robe to change into--take your time! There's a reason why they say to come 30 mins before your appt. Go back to the front desk, you'll be directed to the lounge area with lounge chairs, blankets, small snacks, and beverages. I took my time looking at the Eminence catalogue and just enjoying the ambiance. Bathroom is here, too. My only grievance about the lounge is that the chairs have dirt / oil stains on the head rest part. I think a sanitary towel or regularly washing this part would be great. Your technician will find you in the lounge at your time, and you'll go together to your room! This was pricier than what I've ever paid for a 60 min massage, but you get access to the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, etc. and discounted valet parking. Totally worth it! Would love to try a facial and a longer deep tissue massage sometime soon! read more

Elaia Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I visited your salon for a complimentary manicure and pedicure (it was a birthday gift). I would like to note that the service itself was good -- the staff were polite and attentive. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of the work. The cuticle treatment was done poorly, with noticeable imperfections that are visible right away. Honestly, the result is worse than what I can do myself at home, which raises concerns about the level of service provided. read more

I treated myself to a Mother's Day massage. I forgot the therapist's name (sorry!) but she was great. Had a 60 min swedish massage but they call it something else. The room was nice and quiet. I took off one star because the lounge where you wait was a little grubby. I found a bunch of nuts on the crack of the seat cushion. Also, and maybe this is asking too much, they provide plush blankets in the lounge for each chair. Well, I saw staff refold them and I thought, when do they ever get washed? read more

Elaia Spa is my "Go To" in Seattle! I live in Denver, but travel through Seattle frequently. Several times a year I will plan an overnight in Seattle just to book a massage and facial at Elaia! The facilities at the spa are wonderful but the massage therapists and aestheticians are EXCELLENT. The chocolate covered cherries in the quiet room are the perfect sweet touch. read more

I've visited this spa several times for both body and facial treatments. Unfortunately, the experience rarely lives up to the price. The massages are mediocre at best -- nothing memorable or particularly relaxing. And the last facial I had was a total disappointment: by evening, my face broke out in blemishes, which never happens to me. That treatment alone cost $238. I only return because booking a service gives you full-day access to the spa amenities -- including the pool, saunas, and lounge areas. In Seattle, there just aren't many places with decent pools and steam rooms, so the choices are limited. read more

This was my first spa experience, and I didn't know what to expect walking in. I honestly didn't have high expectations, but after a long several days of work, I was in desperate need of a relaxing pedicure and Elaia Spa gave me exactly that! I made my appointment for my pedicure online and had made a mistake with booking - they were quick to reach out and correct my booking. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and after reading several reviews I was expecting the place to be much busier than what I had experienced. The reservation does tell you to arrive 30 min. before your service begins, but this wasn't completely necessary from my experience and may vary. I did arrive early, changed into my cozy robe and slippers and was given the option to go to the sauna, jacuzzi, or lounge area so I spent most of my 30 min. in the lounge, and your technician calls you in when it's time for your appointment. The lounge was cozy - one of the things I was concerned about was hygiene though. I presume that each of the lounge chairs was "new" and "unused" as indicated by the nicely folded blanket at the foot of the chair. But, I saw multiple people who just sat on same the lounge chairs and rested their foot on the blankets without unfolding them, giving the illusion to others coming in after that it was "clean" even after they left for their service. Onto my pedicure - my nail technician was Thanh and she was incredible! She was so sweet and we had such a nice conversation. Sometimes I find that pedicures aren't as relaxing - technicians can be too rough and/or cut you... but Thanh was gentle, yet effective and really made my pedicure an incredibly relaxing experience. I had an injury on one of my toes, which I had mentioned to her beforehand and she checked in to see if I was ok and if it wasn't painful. If I am back in the area and I need a little pampering, I would definitely return here! read more

My last manicure left my nails the most unhealthy they've ever been (breakage, peeling and cracking). I have no idea how this can happen after just one manicure. Since we are visiting Seattle I used Yelp to help me find a nail salon. I'm so happy that I chose to go to the Elaia Spa! What a treat! From start to finish my visit was perfect. It's located right across the street from where we are staying. After changing into a robe, I rested for about a half hour in their lounge. My nail technician, Ivy, came to get me when it was time for my appointment. The nail salon is in a gorgeous, relaxing space. Everything is so clean. Ivy is 5 stars! My Essential Pedicure ($60) was one of the best I've ever had. 45 minutes of bliss. She is so gentle. I was very impressed by the Sparitual nail products used by the salon. No strong chemical smells just a lovely, subtle scent. The Sparitual lotion used for the massage felt fabulous as well. After my last manicure experience, where a very strong chemical smelling top coat was used, I'm definitely going to start being more particular about what products are used by the salon. Hopefully I can find something like the Elaia Spa near where I live. I love my new mani/pedi! A great value for the quality of the services and the high-end facility. I'm so sad that I don't live near it. read more

The ambience at Elaia is wonderful. It is relaxing and the check-in and services staff are so wonderful. I had a terrific soak in the hot tub, which was a perfect temperature. The lap pool was lovely. Overall, the amenities are great for a full spa day. My issues began with my not being tall enough to hang up my items in the top lockers. I'm 5'6" and could not reach any of the hooks. There was only one proper changing room in the locker room that I waited to use for quite a long time, but ended up using a bathroom stall. I understand that people may be comfortable with no clothing in the locker room, but only one room for those of us who would like a little more privacy was not enough. Like other reviews, I thought the blanket situation in the lounge room was not sanitary enough. People were putting their feet on blankets and even covering up with them entirely and they were not changed out. IMO, the blankets are a nice idea, but not necessary since we have warm soft robes. My pedicure was an absolutely lovely experience. My technician gave me the best service. However, my toenail was infected within a day where the cuticle was clipped, which made me again question hygiene. read more

I booked massage on 30th of December with Elaia spa. That comes with complementary use of pool and steam room. I came early to enjoy pool. My massage appointment was at 4-45 PM and I came 2-20 PM. The locker rooms were very clean but locker was very small and my winter jacket and backpack hardly fit. Also, not enough chairs to change. Many people have to take their clothes and have to step out to dress up standing. Pool was very crowded and there were 4 different couples with 2 kids each. It was nightmare because even jumping/diving is not allowed this kids made a disneyland there. I was only one adult by myself and felt like squeezing myself in the pool and kids would throw their toys around me and splashing so close to my face even I swam in my own lap. Their parents were sitting on the phone and didn't care. Didn't see any member staff making them a notice not to jump/dive. Then FIRE ALARM went on. I was swimming and everybody start leaving pool area. I got out of the pool went all the way to my locker and grab my stuff and went to corridor when spa person told me to go back and dress up. I end up dressing being fully wet, almost broke my nails and amount of stress I got. I came downstairs last. At this point I could simply leave home and not wait. But I decided to wait. In 15 min they let everybody in but nobody apologized or explained what happened. Then I had excellent massage with Sarah! I really enjoyed it as well as relaxation area. At the checkout I ask what happened and told that I was extremely overwhelmed dressing in rush, almost broke my nails. And then when they let us in back in spa area I was putting wet swimsuit again. Ewwww. Unpleasant. And said that I could leave home when I was in lobby but decided to wait. I was hoping for some sort of reimbursement or discount because when I had chance I could leave. But I decided to stay and be responsible for massage appointment I had. No appreciation. But I was very stressed by this incident. Check out person explained pipe bursted outside but I didn't see any regret of inconvenience and stress it caused me. I live in downtown so I was hoping to make this my monthly spa retreat but I just got disappointed how unprofessionally situation was handled. I end up asking at the check out. read more

I didn't know what to expect during my appointment, I've been to plenty of spas and the services were inconsistent. Upon arriving, I was treated by valet! He walked me through the process- he had impeccable customer service! Once inside I was greeted by a gentleman at the counter, he warmly pointed me in the right direction. Once I made it to the space the nice black lady with cute curly hair greeted me- showed me around and off I went until my appointment time. Side note: I drove from Olympia, managed to get lost, and called the spa, she was able to accommodate me for another time slot!! She assured me all was well!! (Thank you). Next! This is where the MAGIC happened! Alex, my masseuse! Very soft-spoken, very thorough! My massage honestly was like a spiritual awakening! Shit, I think I spoke to Jesus, came back to reality, and back again lol for those of you wondering what I got: The Seattle coffee sugar scrub & massage!! Worth the price! DO IT! Request ALEX!!!!!!!!! read more

What a nice little oasis in the city. My daughter and I enjoyed our seaweed wrap and facials for several hours at the spa. Ahhh heaven!!!! What a nice relaxing time In between the wrap and facial we had a yummy lunch and some "bubbly". I will go back again for sure. They treated us like royalty. read more

Elaia Spa - A little bubbly while I wait for my facial - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Too many kids, walked into the locker room and was greeted by a two year old, went to the jacuzzi and kids were everywhere, people constantly came in from the pool to use the locker room bathroom. There was a hole in the stale to the next, the only nice facility had a lot of women loudly talking , quiet room definitely not quiet. You weren't allowed back to this room until 5 minutes before your service so no time to unwind from the screaming children/outside world. Facilities are 0/10 The actual massage was 10/10 great experience, skilful, peaceful, comfortable. One of the best I've had. Won't be coming back after seeing the environment unfortunately but if you're literally just wanting a good massage this is the place read more

There are so many amenities offered in this spacious & plush spa, and they have the best scalp massage in Seattle! I love relaxing in the lounge with a cup of hot tea and my freshly oiled hair in a warm wrap, shopping for earrings after a shower in the changing area. I found this place while staying in the Hyatt Regency when my air conditioning broke in late summer: I was referred by the concierge to Elaia for a massage, and I'm so glad I stopped by. This is going to be one of my regular spas from now on. The prices are also very reasonable despite the luxury of the experience! I highly recommend trying Elaia. read more

I had a horrible experience. I came an hour early to enjoy the pool, sauna and steam room. But I ran into an issue with another spa guests. There were no signs regarding covid other then to wear your mask. I tried to use the sauna but the white lady inside shooed me away and shook her pointer finger at me. I went to the receptionist to ask what the rules were. That's when I was told it was 2 people at a time and she even went to the back to double check. I asked her to tell the other guest since she was already so rude. Surprisingly they seemed like they knew each other since they addressed each other by their first names. The receptionist came back and told me she was wrong and it was actually 1 person at a time. The rude lady then tried to discuss the situation with me. I confronted her that how she shooed me away was wrong. Her response was "I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW ANY ENGLISH OR WERE EVEN FROM HERE SO I THOUGHT HAND GESTURES WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER." This surprised me and I told her well the boarder is closed for covid so only citizens here and she should've just told me in English to wait. And her response was "well I don't know all the rules are different in different places" and lastly she had the nerve to say "well we BOTH can learn from this". Damn if this spa has regulars and are friends with racist guests like this I don't want to support them. It's repulsive. What a great way for Elaia to prepare me for my massage. Massage: I came in for a deep tissue and got what they say is the "best" one is I want a lot of pressure. I wasn't impressed and I felt like their normal massage. So if you like lots of pressure this is not the place for you. It felt more like a oil rub than a deep massage. For an almost $200 massage I rather get a massage elsewhere. Also they require a 20 percent tip and call it a service charge. They should just charge that upfront when people book it online and post it on their site! read more

We ended a bachelorette weekend with several hours at Elaia and it was the best decision ever! Recommendation - get there an hour and a half before your treatment(s), enjoy the steam room and/or sauna, a dip in the jacuzzi (spa locker rooms are connected to the hotel's indoor pool), and then have a little snooze in the wonderful relaxation room, with complimentary tea and snacks and the most delightful chaise lounges I've seen in a spa. My masseuse Andrew was a gem - he made me feel so welcome and comfortable and treated me to an expert massage. By the time I was done, I was a puddle of relaxation. Thank you Elaia! read more

I had my first facial with Elaia Spa today because my esthetician from another spa moved here. The facility is great - you get a day pass access to the steam room/sauna, pool/jacuzzi, and the lounge/relaxation room (with snacks, tea, water) on top of your appointment, so highly recommend getting there at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment (I totally missed this and didn't get to leverage the perks)! Paige is amazing!!! I had regular facials with her at her last spa and I tried out a different spa in between but I just had to come back to Paige. She's very thorough and fully utilizes the time allotted to the appointment. I always feel super relaxed coming out of my facial and my skin always looks better when I see Paige. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's well worth the price. read more

It's expensive, but, with all the facilities available, I think it's worth it. A regular 60 minute massage is $125 (as of writing of this review), plus a 20% service charge. What's great about Elaia Spa is that you have access to a steam room, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a swimming pool on top of a relaxation room. So, you can enjoy them before and/or after your massage appointment. My girlfriend and I spent about 3 hours: stream room, lunch (in the relaxation room), massage, lounging in the relaxation room. Although one Yelp reviewer complained how messy the (women's) locker room was, the men's locker room was clean and the towels and other things were well stocked. Also, the staff members were all very attentive and courteous. The only reason why I do not give them five stars is that most of the facilities are shared with other hotel guests (the locker rooms, the jacuzzi, and the swimming pool). Also, I don't mind the swimming pool being coed but I do mind when the jacuzzi is coed. I wanted to use the jacuzzi but it was just too awkward for me to get in since two teenage girls were already in it. I'm a man in his early 40s! This is how everything is organized/located here: Spa area: massage and other treatment rooms and the relaxation room Locker rooms: showers, a bathroom, a steam room and a sauna Pool area: a swimming pool and a jacuzzi (coed and swim wear required) Parking (valet) is $8 for spa guests with validation. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

I had Taffy for a Swedish Massage. It was incredible and perhaps the best massage I've ever had. Relaxation room is nice with lounge chairs, fruit, nuts, and water. Pool shallow at 3.5 and 4 feet but with lanes if needed and over 80 degrees. Hot tub also shallow and light jets but cozy. Lockers have keys. Could use a bench or two in the locker room. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing experience and I would recommend. read more

Wow wow wow. I had the olive therapy service with Andrew and it was simply decadent. This is a two-hour service with a scrub, body mask, and hour massage therapy. Everything was perfect. The service includes a special product that smells so lovely. The faculty was impeccable; get there early to enjoy a sauna or steam before your service. read more

Elaia Spa - Lounge - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my favorite and my go-to spa to unwind and relax with friends! Service is exceptional and the locker room area is clean and tidy, and the relaxation room is great with comfy chairs, snacks, and tea. You can also order wine or other food as well. I always get the full body scrub and it's AMAZINGGGG! You come out feeling soooooo soft. My body feels amazing after the sugar scrub, feels softer than a baby's butt hahaha I like this service a little more than just getting the massage because you do technically get somewhat of a massage with the scrub and the shower room in the massage room is fantastic!! It has about 5 or 6 shower heads! hahah With every service, you can use all of their amenities like the pool and the gym area. l always leave Elaia Spa feeling super relaxed and great! I highly recommend this Spa if you want to treat yourself for something nice :) read more

Located on the second floor of the Hyatt at Olive 8 in downtown Seattle, the Elaia Spa is a great place to unwind and relax. The staff is friendly and the ambience is very tranquil. I'd recommend the couples holistic massage for anyone celebrating an anniversary or birthday. The couples massage room is warm, dimly lit, and the massage tables are comfortable. We were able to choose our scented oil; I chose the lemongrass and my wife chose the lavender. It was a nice spa day for our anniversary. read more

Elaia Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love the Elaia lounge area and happy hour services! The lounge area is a great place to relax before and after an appointment. You can lay down, catch up with a friend (or space out), and sip on some water (or grab a small snack). You can also order a drink or a meal from the restaurant downstairs (Urbane), but I haven't done that because I've only been there for the brief happy hour appointments. I found out about their happy hour (mini-service + drink) specials through Twitter, I think, and started following them on Facebook because they list their monthly specials in the Notes section. They usually offer the specials 2-4 days a week, and each day it's something different. Usually the happy hour appointments cost $20, and I think last time I went they added an auto-gratuity of what I believe was 20% when I paid. My first visit was for the Sole Repair treatment with champagne. I wasn't sure what to expect, and was pleased to discover that I'd be receiving a foot massage. Hard to go wrong with a foot massage! I felt very relaxed after, and enjoyed relaxing with a glass of champagne while catching up with the friend that joined me for the happy hour. My second visit was on a moji-toes day. The mojito was wonderful and I liked my experience with the technician and the polish job, but was a bit bummed when I realized that a mini-pedicure means that you get polish, but no scrubbing or massaging or nail-care (except a trim). I'd rather get some care than a polish change, but... oh, well. Lesson learned. I haven't been to Elaia in a few months, but I look forward to trying more happy hour services! I'm kind of curious about the express oxygen blast... Appointments: I've only had to "share" the lounge with one stranger, but it's still a good idea to make an appointment so they are prepared for you, and can get you in when you want. read more

Elaia Spa - Today's happy hour special was called "Moji-toes"! ($20 got me a mojito & a mini-pedi.) - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We opted for a spa day while staying at the Hyatt at Olive 8, and were so glad we did! First, scheduling the appointments (roughly a month in advance) was a great experience, I ended up chatting with the front desk attendant about Alaska (she was from Fairbanks, I was living in Anchorage), and she was so helpful in offering up options to make it the ultimate spa experience. For instance, I wouldn't have known they offered a warm oil scalp massage as an add-on to the facials without her help. We arrived promptly at the appointed time, and were immediately greeted and escorted to the lounge area where we could don robes and slippers to our comfort level. From there, our first attendants escorted us to the nail salon where we enjoyed a luxurious 45 minute pedicure with hot stone massages and a huge assortment of color options. We followed those with manicures that were equally as relaxing, and afterwards returned to the lounge. As an added bonus, I treated myself to an all-organic facial and it was lovely, with all the standard steps: cleanse, steam, exfoliate, extractions, moisturize, etc. But the best part by far was the extensive scalp, neck, shoulder and arm massage - it was all my favorite parts of a massage, without the less desirable parts (this is an unpopular take, but I don't see how it's relaxing to get semi-nude and have a stranger touch you, but that's just me). I practically melted and floated back to the lounge for some hot tea and snacks before finally departing. Cheers! read more

Very clean and relaxing spa, the sauna could be hotter but the steam room made up for it. The pool is great for some laps, staff is friendly, nice spa in a busy downtown area. read more

Really enjoyed my time here. I scheduled the apple cider scrub and massage (fall seasonal service) and booked with Jen. She was wonderful. I think what makes this place special is the hotel amenities (pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna) and the lounge with snacks on top of excellent services. The decor feels more like a hotel than a spa, but it's peaceful and lovely there. I went on a weekday afternoon during a day off, so it wasn't busy (but I hear it's very busy on the weekends). The locker area is quite small, so don't bring much with you! read more

Elaia Spa - Lounge area - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went for a spa today after work. My backpack and laptop were securely locked in the female locker room. Someone broke into my locker and stole all of my belongings including laptop, phone, credit cards. Hotel cameras show suspicious individuals in pool area but nothing was done to prevent this theft Hotel never claimed responsibility. Blows my mind that such an expensive spa does not ensure the safety of their clients. Will never use them again. I feel violated!!! read more

The massage was great. However, there are screaming kids all over the pool and jacuzzi, which defeats the purpose of having a relaxing spa day. You can even hear them screaming when you're in the steam room/sauna area of the spa. read more

I stayed on this hotel Hyatt during the thanksgiving weekend and took the 60 min Holistic Massage. I had a great experience from the begging to the end.

My fiancé treated me for a deep tissue massage here for the first time. After reading mixed reviews, I was a little worried. I'm pleased to say that I had a great experience. Front desk was professional and welcoming. I arrived a couple hours before my appointment to use the other amenities which include the pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, fitness center, and the relaxation room. The pool is open for hotel guests as well, but at the time I went there were less than 5 people. The locker room is spacious and had tampons, mouthwash, disposable combs, and more complimentary. They provide a robe and slippers. You can use these amenities from open to close, before and after your appointment. The massage was great. Jackie was super professional and made me feel really comfortable, and really listened to my areas of concern for my massage. There was some honey dew and tea, then chocolate covered cherries and trail mix in the relaxation room. I only wish there were more snacks/beverages to choose from. The 20% gratuity is something they will ask you for approval before they add it on, so you can definitely change that if you want but I really enjoyed my time and massage. Definitely worth it for me. read more

Booked a couple's deep tissue massage for the GF and I. Spa is inside the Olive 8 hotel and shares the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and pool with other hotel guests [bit of a con]. We arrived about 1.5hr early to utilize their amenities. Mid afternoon, we pretty much had the it to ourselves which was nice. Sauna and steam room are inside the locker room so the lady and I had to part ways there. There is also a "relaxation room" that has some nice chairs, teas, and little snacks for before and after your massage. Massage itself was great. Definitely a top spot for deep tissue massages. I has sweating and gritting my teeth most of the time I was getting worked on. 4/5 stars only because we've been to Yuan Spa, which has a much better steam room/sauna/"jacuzzi" setup. read more

Holiday shopping. Holiday parties. Holiday obligations. Sometimes you need a little TLC for your mind, body, and spirit, especially around this time of year and the Elaia Spa is a good place to unwind. I love staying at Hyatt hotels and it just so happens Elaia is located in Olive 8. I hope you have the opportunity to meet Jazmine at the front desk. Not only is she friendly on the phone but also friendly in person. She made sure I had an enjoyable experience by answering all my questions about the spa and spa treatments. Elaia has a large relaxation room. This is great especially if you have a group of girls coming here for Spa Day. I remember I had a girl's spa day in Vegas. The relaxation room at Caesar's Qua was tiny and we had to stand because the spa was overbooked. Elaia did a great job managing appointments as there wasn't overcrowding. The jacuzzi, lap pool, and locker room is shared with Olive 8's hotel guests so it can get somewhat crowded and loud during peak times but at least you can escape to the relaxation room when it does. Out of the downtown hotel spas I've been to Elaia is my favorite when it comes to staff, treatment services, amenities, and atmosphere. So if you need a day of pampering Elaia is a great place to book your next "Me Time" appointment. read more

The wife and I usually come here annually as birthday gifts to ourselves. Come kick it in the pool, jacuzzi, gym or relaxation room before or after your appointment.

Elaia Spa - Relaxing Room - Day Spas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is my go to for an once-in-a-while fancy treat with a girlfriend! I recommend coming in the morning on the weekends and it'll feel like you have the whole pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room to yourself with the occasional someone checking out the area. I wish I could do 4.5 stars. I've had a few facials here and it's not always consistent depending on the person you get. The esthetician for the most recent facial I had was a bit rough with my skin. It felt like she was in a rush. It just wasn't as relaxing and gentle as I would have liked. Bonus for accommodating nursing mothers though as I'm a new mom. They provide extra storage for your pump bag, a fridge, and a room for you to pump as well. read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and amazing massages and facials. The facilities are beautiful, and I recommend coming early to steam, sauna, work out, and swim before your service. Definitely come on a week day when the facilities are mostly empty - weekends the facilities are packed with hotel guests and their kids. read more

Jen is an absolute miracle worker with her massages. As an out-of-shape runner, and a photographer who's been carrying gear all week, I showed up gnarled and broken by this cruel world. After one deep tissue session with Jen, I am new. And feeling like jello-- but in the way one wants to feel after a massage! I highly recommend Elaia's relaxing atmosphere, welcoming staff, and their expert technicians. read more

Outstanding massage, great relaxing atmosphere. I get a lot of massages, but never from expensive spas. The extra stuff like robes and nice smells are nice, but not important to me (I just got out of the Marines and am pretty simple...), but mom treated me to a massage here, so off I went. First, I love deep pressure. Make those knots scream. I've had many disappointing massages where they just couldn't or wouldn't push deep enough. Not today. I was taken care of my Melissa, and she killed it. Absolutely outstanding massage. Deep fluid pressure, adjusting to my muscles as she went along, enabling me to relax and enjoy and not ask for deeper pressure here, lighter pressure there, etc... The locker room is nice, with showers, a sauna, and a steam room, all of which I took advantage of and enjoyed. If you go I definitely recommend having extra time in your schedule to relax and enjoy those read more

The treatment was fabulous......just the right pressure and technique was great. I would come back for sure. Please see my blog for more details and reviews. The spa itself was marginal at best. The mens lockers are not full size, the steam room is not operational, and the pool/whirlpool is co-ed.....not that good of an idea since no one brings a swim suite. Nothing special about the space, it feels like you are in a hotel. As for the hotel, don't waste your time there, go to the Grand Hyatt. 1 90 minute holistic massage - 165 + 18% service charge 29.70 - this is the tip, never seen it done like this, I would have left more Total - 161.70 - that is pretty high for 90 minute massage, usually around $100 read more

I booked a massage by Stacy after reading about good spas online and saw a recommendation for this spa and this particular massage therapist. I was not disappointed! I recommend this spa and Stacy. If I lived in Seattle, I'd definitely be back. I appreciate going to a spa with amenities like a relaxation room, sauna, steam room. Overall super relaxing and not crowded (I was here on a weekday which I liked). I came about 30 min early so I could relax before the massage and everything was on time. Stacy asked about any problem areas and I explained my preferences and the problems I encountered the last time I'd gotten a massage (at a different spa in another city) and she was excellent. Very thorough and conscientious. If you've ever had bad massages before, it can be a major letdown because massages are very expensive. I unfortunately have had a few bad massages in the past (different cities), so I'm now very cautious about booking massages at spas I have never tried before. Reading recommendations online actually turned out to be valuable. I sat in the relaxation room for about an hour afterwards, drinking tea and read through a small book I found there and then tried the steam room and sauna before showering and leaving. I highly recommend this spa for a day of feeling pampered and relaxed, especially if you want the full spa experience. read more

The couple's room was very pretty, and the staff & measures were very nice! The best part was the actual massage (which is what you're paying for). I did a deep tissue (or sports massage) for an hour with my boyfriend and it was lovely. The price is great too as you can use the spa facilities for the whole day. Showers, robes, shampoo/conditioner etc were all great products. This was the first time I actually took a shower in a spa. The interior of the pool room could have some work done on it. If you want to make a booking, first call the hotel & ask to be transferred to the spa. The number on the website (or if you call directly) never seemed to go thought. I called 3 times, left voice messages and sent an email, and no one got back to me in a week. I ended up calling the hotel and got through straight away. Otherwise, everyone was very nice & the massage was great. read more
