The Spa at the Ritz Carlton is very nice - very Zen and relaxing. They have a large SaltWater pool…read morethat is heated , Amazing large whirlpool next to the pool. Plenty of seating with some double size lounge couches. Typically it is very quiet but they do allow children so if the kids come it can get a little less Zen. The Spa also offers full service massage, pedis , manis and more. The Spa is High end and the service is top notch. Besides the pool and spa services they have separate male/female Locker rooms with Steam Rooms , Sauna and showers. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Often they even serve Champagne complimentary. It's very relaxing and we visit several times a year . Great for a quick getaway - Plus it's in the Ritz so you have the 5 Star service , restaurant , bar, lounge and rooms to go along with it. Next time in DC check this place out and be sure to visit the Spa ! The staff at the Spa makes the experience even better ! - so check them out you will be back !!

My husband purchased a full body massage as a birthday gift for me at this spa. I was so excited (…read morebeing a mum - I don't ever go for massages anymore). He told me that he prefilled all the forms in so that I didn't need too. He specifically wrote that I do not like hard pressure massages and that I would like a light pressure massage. He also put down all my injuries and allergies. I mention this because I had an injury on my foot. The parking area is pretty easy to navigate and they do validate your ticket. Upon arrival I was greeted by the front desk receptionist who was really pleasant and offered me water or Champaign. I don't drink so I opted for water. They should definitely introduce non alcoholic drinks as well. When walking in the change room, I was vey underwhelmed. It was very small and there was signs on the walls asking guests to be quiet as the spa rooms were actually basically in the change rooms. It was bizarre. Also they don't have any hairdryers so I had to leave with wet hair in very cold weather - not ideal. They can't really have you drying your hair when the treatment rooms are so close I guess. They have plastic slippers ( while this makes sense for the steam room and pool etc, it is not comfortable). The treatment room I entered was in the change room( lol). The lady that massaged me kept repeating her name for some reason. Anyway- we started and it was probably one of the worst massages I had in my life. The pressure was extremely hard to the point of painful as she kept pulling my skin and I felt her nails in my skin. I asked her to lighten the pressure and it was at a point where I just wanted it to be over because she just wasn't listening to me and my body was in tense mode the entire time. She tried to massage my foot which i told her not too due to my injury and I'm like " didn't you read my form". What is the point you complete a form if the therapist doesn't read it. After the torture was over I was like - let me try the steam room and pool to assist with my abused body. The pool was nice but the jacuzzi didn't work. The steam room and sauna was nice but tiny. Now let me tell you about the showers. They only have two showers across from each other ( one is for people with disabilities and the other not). When I put the shower on I couldn't understand why the temperature of the water was not getting warm. Then I realized they installed the fixture incorrectly and hot is cold and cold is hot. Come on!!! You make so much money- surely you can fix that. I was like wtf at this point. Ok so then I went to check out the relaxation room. Um... yeah total joke. They have a kettle and a box with tea bags. Have they not heard of an urn that just gives hot water. So they would rather you fill the kettle and warm the water yourself. There was no snacks and right next to the relaxation area is a place people go to get nails done. So I didn't really relax there at all. Please don't waste your time and money at this place. I had to lie to my hubby and say it was great because I didn't want him to feel disappointed as he did get this experience for me as a birthday gift. Improvements ? I think the first thing I would say is get better massage therapists that actually listen to the client. Then move your treatment rooms and get a better relax area. This spa will close at some point because I don't know how sustainable there current " let's just get away with as little as we can " approach can go. From a hotel with such a good reputation- this spa was far from that.

Let me first say that I've never gotten any facial treatments in the past, so I don't really have a…read moreway of comparing my experience with previous facial experiences because I've never gotten any. However, I have a wonderful experience here. A lovely friend of mine gave me a gift certificate for a facial massage for my last birthday. Almost six months later (today), I finally carved out the time to make use of it and I'm so glad I did. The spa is tucked in a little plaza-ish location off Old Dominion, across from a Joe's Burger's and other assorted eateries I've never paid much attention to. You lie under heated blankets while Maria first cleans your face quickly with soap and toner then applies a steamed towel to your face (opens up the pores, I suppose). There's some sort of apparatus to blow steam across your face -- but it's just the right temperature so don't worry -- then skillfully rubs massage oil across your face. She's very gentle around the nose and applied just the right pressure around my chin and jaw. There is soothing keyboard music playing in the background and the lights are dimmed. I nearly fell asleep b/c it was all so pleasant; I can't remember the last time my mind was free from impending to-do's. Maria also told me for the most part what she was doing ("first I'm going to [do this or that]" then "now I'm going to [do this or that]"). This was a facial massage, not a facial, but quite frankly, my skin could probably use a facial b/c it's not very clear right now. I read on their website that they don't try to push products at you and true to their word, Maria didn't do that, which was nice. However, at the end, Maria did keep stressing that I could benefit from a facial, etc etc. She even gave me a $25 gift certificate for a future facial. Granted, I'd have to use it towards their Biorenu Facial, which is the most expensive facial on their Services list (it's $155) and I probably won't be able to afford that. Still though, my experience here with Maria was wonderful so I would love to come back (though for a less expensive service) in the future.

A spa day to celebrate my birthday at the Salamander Spa in DC and I loved every minute of it!…read more I was greeted by the receptionist and taken to the relaxation room as I waited to be taken to the spa area. I was given a brief tour of the facility and since I arrived 45 min before my service I was able to enjoy the infinity pool, steam room and sauna. The ice cold washcloths by the sauna were heavenly. Taquita did both my signature massage and my pure radiance facial. She was amazing! She took the time to ask me my pressure preferences and well, the rest is history. After my treatments, I enjoyed reading my book in the relaxation room while hydrating with the water that was provided. The snacks were also a nice touch. Will I be back? Yes, I think this might become a birthday tradition.

I'm reviewing their massage therapy service, specifically for June Liu, who is amazing…read more What I liked: +June was very patient and clear about massage - asking if I want some water (they have sparkling water too) or to use the restroom prior to the massage +massage was for the full duration +massage was full body (from head to toe) and target areas were addressed +June made sure to ask if the pressure was ok and if scalp massage was ok +June has very nice hands for massage, some massagers have very skinny fingers which don't feel as great +despite selecting the Swedish massage for 1 hour, she did do some custom massage at my neck and shoulders where I had a lot of tension +$165 for 1 hour Swedish massage (some customization by June) is honestly a respectable price - especially since the whole atmosphere was super calming with light ambient music, soft massage bed, clean sheets, some essential oils Some room for improvement: -I'm not sure, but I think there were times when might not have washed her hands after massaging my feet and touching another part of my body. As a heads up: mineral oil will be used, so be prepared to be covered in it. Final Thoughts: If you are not used to full body spa massages, the pricing is steep but comparatively it is competitive for the area, especially if you get June. The first time I went, my body really felt brand new afterwards. Highly recommend her!

Lights off. No staff. Nothing. Their sign said Sunday "By Appointment Only," yet apparently even when you have an appointment, no one shows up. I called their Bethesda location, and the first receptionist claimed we weren't in the system--even though I booked on Wednesday at 2:22 PM (I checked my call log and took a screenshot). Someone took all of my details including my credit card, but somehow my appointment "didn't exist." Then the owner got on the phone and said she actually could see me in their system but didn't know what happened. She blamed a software switch on Tuesday... but I booked on Wednesday. So that excuse made no sense. Her only solution was to ask if we could come tomorrow. No, we actually can't--because unlike her business, we plan ahead. I took the weekend off from my real estate schedule to celebrate. We booked a hotel in Tysons, hired a dog sitter, and made a whole day of this. And it was completely wasted. What really stunned me was the total lack of care. No apology that felt meaningful. No attempt to make it right. No offer of a complimentary service. Nothing. I'm a business owner myself, and I would never handle a mistake like this this way. Our anniversary plans were basically ruined because this spa didn't bother to honor our confirmed appointment--or provide any real remedy afterward. Don't waste your time or money here. If they can't handle a simple booking, I wouldn't trust them with anything else either.

They want you to get a "spa" experience but it totally depends on who your massage/table scrub-shower masseur is. In my case, the kid (Asian American, very slim, stylish, young, but not friendly, extremely standoffish and unpleasant behaviour) who was my masseur did not make it a good experience for me. I'd heard good thing from others and read from reviews but my experience was unfortunately lacking. The whole time I had the table massage shower thing I was thinking "wow this is bad. I feel like I'm in a car wash that is way over priced" I've had tons of Korean spa scrubs and this wasn't even close. This was barely memorable. The massage afterwards was ok but not the best I've had. I told the masseur I had asked for deep tissue and he said he doesn't do deep tissue and usually isn't at that location. And then asked me to stop talking (but I was asking for the modality I asked for!) - the whole time he was quite rude and clearly distracted. Won't be going back. Note: yes I am aware different therapists can make the experience different but quality control has to come from the top. If you have to bring someone in as I asked for a male therapist, then don't just get someone who is bored / unhappy to be there, and makes it known to the client that he is not into the massage and got called in last minute about 3 hours before. Coincidentally 3 hours before is when *i called Prince salon and spa to confirm my appointment, the timing makes me think they forgot my appt and planned late. Also made my appt well in advance so they could have had someone there who cares about being there. Don't go! Go get a scrub at spa riverside instead!
