Luxury and pampering are waiting for you at this upscale spa…read more The Ritz-Carlton Spa is located on the 19th floor, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline. Emily , the receptionist, enthusiastically pointed out that you can see Mt. Hood, Mt Adams and Mt. Saint Helens on a clear day. My first impression was one of neutral tones, dangling pendant lights and wood that accentuated the skyline. It felt like stepping into an elevated, serene sanctuary showcasing the Pacific Northwest. The spa facilities include five treatment rooms 1) A eucalyptus steam with piped in babbling brook sounds. 2) A dry sauna 3), A relaxation lounge with floor to ceiling windows 4) A snow shower 5) Private rain showers There's a Pool/Wellness Area that is only available for guests. One of the spa patrons asked if she could soak in the hot tub but the staff declined. Because I couldn't access it I have not included it in my review. The relaxation lounge had trail mix, coconut macaroons and fresh fruit to snack on. There was tea and infused water. The water was delicious. It was flavored with lemon, cucumber and mint. I received the rose water manicure. I recommend requesting Patrick. He had excellent hand massage skills. The salt scrub was divine. He produced a tray of five scented hand masks that I could pick from. I chose Mandarin. I was tempted by the "fresh" and the oolong scented mask. Those will have to wait for my next trip. Patrick and Emily were wonderful people. They made me feel welcome and at ease. This is a smaller spa without soaking features unless you are staying at the hotel. That didn't detract from my experience. I liked that it was divided between female and male locker rooms. It allowed me to have a more private space. It was so serene and calming that all my stress melted away. The icing on the cake was the incredible amenities. They had eucalyptus iced towels for your sauna. You were given a luxurious robe and shoes along with multiple towels. The lotion, soap, shampoo, hair, conditioner, were top quality. The hairbrushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, etc. were ESPA certified. Even their shower caps were made out of starch. I would recommend the Ritz Carlton spa to anyone seeking a luxurious experience.

They took us promptly when we walked in and got us set up. They asked if we wanted a drink and brought us a cute tea tray set up. I appreciated it.

Their chairs were comfy, provided a pillow and to be honest this was the best experience

The warmth in my room felt like a long hug. And the light gave me "floating in space" vibes! But my biggest resulting benefit is my back pain has decreased 100%.

My first visit was for a sound massage and it was just as beneficial. I'll be back again for a 3rd visit. Thank you, Vee

This was my first time trying float therapy…read more It says they have parking available in the parking garage, which may be true but there was a tiny sign that says the parking garage is closed on Sundays and a huge sign above it that says "no public parking." We only realized that afterwards, when the car in front of us stopped us to ask if we had a fob because the parking is for private residents. Luckily there was street parking available. When we walked in, there were two people chatting at the front desk. We weren't greeted until we were at the desk, which I didn't mind but it just felt a bit awkward. It almost felt like I was interrupting. Aside from that I really enjoyed my experience. We were given a tour and learned more about what float therapy is. We even got to see what a different room looks like. We did the "float together" session, which is a giant bathtub for two people. It has a shower, so you rinse before you get in and can shower after you get out. Toilets are outside the room, so they provide a bathrobe in case you need to step out during your session. The room itself was very warm, I believe it was 89°! Which was a good temperature once we were out of our warm clothing (lol). Prior to getting in they do have a few items you can use: ear plugs, some kind of ointment (for any cuts), a head rest you can use while in the water, towels, slippers (you get these at the entrance), and bathrobes. The lights and music are on for the first 10-ish minutes and then they turn off. You are then left with a tiny bathtub light that you can keep on or turn off. The temperature of the water was nice and warm for the parts of my body that were in the water. After you shower/change, they do have a room where you can go in and finish getting ready. They have combs, hair dryers, another towel, and mirrors for you to use. They have 3 sections labeled, so you can use the one labeled with your session type (our was room 3: float together). I had such a lovely time and will definitely come back!

I was coming in to do an ance facial and feeling a bit nervous (extractions can be painful and no one likes the idea of their skin potentially being judged- which has happened to me before!) Thankfully, Caroline was so sweet and knowledgeable. She gave great tips about what my skin needs and how to care for it long term. She explained every step and why she was doing what she was doing. I felt cared for and relaxed! The results were amazing! So much less congestion and two of my zits are already almost faded. Two things to note is that the email on the website didn't work for me. So if you're trying to contact her, use the phone number on the website. We also had a little mix up with my payment, but she was very apologetic and called me immediately to get it sorted out. I'll definitely be back!!!

Usually I find that therapists are either deep tissue or relaxing, but rarely can people do both, which is what I like. Where I need strong hands to work out knots and sore spots she does an amazing job. I've found almost no one who can use too much pressure on my back, but most people just aren't strong enough. Laura is. On the other hand, I generally don't like people to work on my feet because they're too sensitive, but if you go see her, and you should, have her work on your feet. Very worth it. Laura is the real deal. She's very intuitive about what your body needs and I always feel amazing after seeing her. I just wish I could afford to see her more often.

I have been in some intense pain for the past 13 days stemming from a culmination due to sitting…read morelong hours in front of the computer due to the nature of my work including long 1hr commutes to and from work in the car and also from bad posture doing other things, such as looking down at my phone and playing games. I was in a desperate search to find someone who can provide a solution to my pain. The other day I went to my physician and was prescribed some muscle relaxants but I knew that was just a temporary remedy and not the solution to my problem. I needed a professional who understood the body, how to treat muscle pain and how to remove the knotted muscle causing the stress in my neck and back. This is where Kay at Gentle Cloud Spa came in. My doctor had referred me to a local massage clinic in Tigard but that location had no availabilities and their reviews were across the board so I decided to scour the surrounding areas for someone who I felt was capable enough in relieving the major pain I was experiencing. I decided to give Kay a try and boy did she worked wonders for me. I went with the 90 minute deep tissue massage and she helped relieve the main causes of pain in my back and neck. Kay was very thorough, she educated me during the process as to what may have been causing my issues and went to work. Throughout the process, I can feel her work on so many areas and knots that were scattered throughout my body- places where I felt no pain yet was directly contributing to the cause of the pain I was experiencing. Her hands and elbows, including her feet, are very strong. She incorporated stretching techniques that I've never experienced before as well as break-apart those painfully, knotted areas. She said when I first arrived, she knew I was in pain because I was hunched over and my posture was bad, but when she finished 90 minutes later, I felt more loose and the tension in my body went away. Kay really knows the body well. She has over 14 years of experience and was once a nursing student as well as work at a chiropractic office in the past which I believe puts her above the rest. I have worked with many masseuses throughout the years back in the Bay Area, some were good while others were only tied to their routines, but Kay knew what technique to incorporate (Tui Na) style and how to remedy my painful situation. Last Monday, I went to a massage therapist in Newberg and I felt that the masseuse was only following her standard routine and did not nothing to relieve my pain. I felt that visit was a waste of money and I won't be going back there, but visiting Kay this afternoon was worth my time and investment. I also met Rachel who was very kind and help set me up with a massage package which I believe is well worth it since the nature of my work and routines won't change and may cause some pain again in the future. Don't take your body for granted like I did- we are all so busy in our daily lives with doing so many things up until our bodies start hurting really badly and then we have no place to turn to for help. I believe that the body needs maintenance from time to time due to many circumstances in our life. Take care of your body, get a massage to relieve the stress and tension from daily life, follow the natural way of allowing it to heal with minimal use of medicines as it can take a toll on your internal organs. Kay is a firm believer in this and now I'm a firm believer in her and the techniques she uses. Thank you Kay for helping me today- I am forever grateful and I'm looking forward for more sessions in the future.
