When you're lucky to get the right masseuse, it's worth its weight in gold! My masseuse, Lucy, was worth every tip$ because she was super thorough every body part, checking on me for pressure and did not rush. I will say I need to learn how to ask for less or more pressure and or slower strokes in her language fyi. The facilities are quaint, clean, organized, and I liked the quiet spa music in an enclosed room versus some other places that have open aired facilities. Manager David is efficient, but would be nice if he was a bit more personable in welcoming and saying goodbye to his customers. That said I would still repeat my visit and FYI Groupon has occasional good deals here. Bonus is same building houses one of the best new Thai restaurants (Siam Thai Eatery) in the South Loop - definitely go and thank me later lol read more

This part is only for the scheduling experience. Like many others reviewing this business, I also had a curt and unpleasant exchange with the scheduling person. I called for a 30 minute appointment at a particular time/day and the all I received back was "redemption code". Not a 'Yes, we have that time available. Can you provide me with the Groupon code?". I advised her that I was driving and could not access it at the time but I could when returned home in 30 minutes. Her response was "Call by 6." and hung up the phone. She clearly needs a new job that does not entail interaction with others. I will review on the service separately. read more

The front desk lady really ruined the experience for us. She was dry and didn't make us feel welcomed or like we came to relax. The experience came with a choice of champagne. We didn't get the opportunity to drink it until the massage was over. We would've liked to drink it before the massage to have a more relaxing experience. The people giving us a massage were kind and great. When the massage was over we finally got the chance to drink our drink. When we were heading out the front desk woman stopped us demanding a tip. Our masseuses deserved it but tip should never be demanded. read more

Versailles Massage & Bar - Champagne drink - Massage Therapy Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My goodness!!! Upon entering you have to walk up about 15-25 stairs. When you arrive at the door, there is a note that states not to knock. After having the experience, I understand why! When I walked in, the lady immediately knew that I was her 11am appointment. She asked me if I needed to use the restroom and gave me a bottle of water. To my right when walking in, was a full service bar! Omg! That was a first for me! Once I used the restroom, I was taken back immediately and given a top and bottom. The room was warm and the music was everything needed. My masseuse knocked and awaited my approval to enter. She placed my feet in a tub of hot water and assisted me in laying back. From there, she began a face and head massage. My body is relaxing just based on the memory! Since my husband surprised me with a 2 hour full body massage for our 15 year wedding anniversary, I had no idea what to expect. The care, intention, awareness and precision of my masseuse was nothing short of amazing. She came for every single place of tension!! She checked in and adjusted in areas where I needed her too. I'm pretty sure I took a 15 minute nap. By the time my masseuse was done, I was wobbly, sleepy and completely calm. She is a 20/10 and this massage parlor is a 100/10. All I ask, is that you try it one time! Just once! read more

Took my date here for a king/queen session. The experience was even better than I expected. The relaxing music, the scents and sights. Everything looked clean and in proper order. The staff were courteous and friendly. It was my first massage and I felt like I was levitating afterwards. The mimosa at the end was a nice touch. I didn't feel rushed and I went with the back massage upgrade. I will be coming back again in a few weeks. read more

Extremely Poor attitude every time someone answer the phone here . I lost $100 to them bcuz no reschedule or cancellation & they insta redeemed my code . The attitude I received on the phone was so disgusting I decided I didn't even want to go here and I'd rather them just keep my money . Who ever I was talking to just sounded so low energy that I'd rather nobody here lay their grimey hands on me at all because it would actually cost more meta- to have my soul tainted by the people of Versailles. read more

A gem found on groupon!!! My goal is to get massages every month and I found them on groupon i did a couple massages package that i got for a friends birthday. I been here before but it had been a while. I only paid for 79 for it which also came with a drink . The only downside the package that I bought it didn't come with the back massage so we upgraded for $15 each. 10 for them to massage your back as well. It was really nice. I almost fell asleep while getting a massage. Definitely will be back. The staff was nice. The guy kept asking if I was OK and he did a really good job of taking care of my problem area read more

I called to book an appointment and mentioned that I had a Groupon. Instead of being helpful, the woman I spoke with, Liela, was very rude when I asked questions about how to book using the Groupon. Her tone was unprofessional and made the process uncomfortable. First impressions matter, and unfortunately this experience left a bad one. Because of the poor customer service I received over the phone, I will not be giving this company my business. read more

Versailles Massage & Bar - 2 minutes still no help with booking & rudeness! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nice service and easy to book, we used a Groupon. We were seen as soon as we arrived, no wait time. The drinks from the bar that come with the massage are a nice touch! read more

Best massage I've ever had--hands down. I'll be honest: I was a bit worried at first because of the rating, but wow--I'm so glad we gave Versailles Massage a chance. My partner and I booked the full couples massage package, and from start to finish, the experience was incredible. The package came with two complimentary drinks--we got mimosas, and they were good! That little extra made it feel like a true pampering session. Now the massage itself? Unreal. I've gotten massages all over the world and experienced all kinds of techniques... but this one blew me away. Lucy was my massage therapist, and without me saying a word, she read my body perfectly. She knew exactly where to apply pressure and where to go lighter, it felt like she was in tune with every muscle. My partner had Davis and had the exact same reaction. We both walked out, looked at each other, and said at the same time, "That was the best massage I've ever had." Lucy and Davis are phenomenal. If you're thinking of booking, don't hesitate--just ask for them. You won't regret it. read more

Terrible terrible terrible highly don't recommend. If you got a GROUPON they don't want you there (at least from what I've seen and. the other customers feedback supports this. Tips are mandatory else they look at you a certain way. Beware be warned and book somewhere else. Peace read more

When I called in to book a time slot, the customer service rep sounded rude and very short on the phone. Upon making it there the receptionist was very rude as well and I think it was the same lady on the phone when I booked. Ee werent offered drinks at all. The atmosphere was nice but the receptionist kills the 1st initial experience. Once I made it to the room for the actual massage the masseuse was good and I had a good massage session. Overall if the receptionist wasnt there it would be a nice affordable place to go! read more

The lady at the front desk was rude she told me if I didn't have a tip I can't come back. I didn't have the money to tip. she sent in old men to massage me and my niece she left the door open while we were changing and the men tried to come in before we was ready I had to ask them to leave so we can get ready it was my worst experience ever I will never go back I was so uncomfortable this only happened when the front desk lady is there. The service was 199.00 plus a 30 charge for an upgrade her customer service sucks read more

This place was wonderful! They were able to accommodate a same day purchase Groupon for a couples massage. The groupon was the most affordable in the area, it was footsteps from our hotel, and the staff was kind. I would say to arrive 10 minutes before your appointment as we were offered a drink before our experience and the massage started exactly on time. The masseuses did an excellent job and certainly worked the problem areas we expressed. This exceeded our expectations! read more

Upon arriving, I was told that my "Versailles Royal Treatment" massage only included arms/legs & if I wanted my back done too, I needed to pay an +$15, which was bogus but I accepted. The hospital gown & slippers felt itchy & the towels I laid on were rough. The massage started with me laying on my back, & my legs dangling off the bed, knees bent at 90 degree angle, which gave me back pain. The drink was disgusting too. I don't recommend this spa at all. read more

I wish I could give 0 stats. I booked a massage for my parents and they had a horrible experience here. Staff were rude, hostile and unhelpful to them and still expected to be tipped, even after my dad explained that he would need change for his 100s they were rude to them My parents also reported not enjoying their massages, and have had much more holistic experiences. Do not go here. There is a reason they have so much availability and it's simply because they suck. read more

It's almost the best deal I ever got on Groupon for reflexology foot massage. The front desk person who made appointment was extremely curt and unprofessional when I requested for a female therapist. I came in early for my appointment was escorted to the stuffy room without air conditioning . Few minutes of waiting this older Asian woman came in with a smile and did a good job for the next 30 minutes. I was so pleased that I tipped her as much as the massage costed me. Wish the parlor was not as gloomy . I am very particular about my regular body massage so would not come here for anything else except foot massage read more

terrible place to go if you want to be respected and have the bare minimum of being provided a decent Roberto undress in they literally gave us old hospital gowns read more

Great massage and customer service! The drinks were a nice touch to the experience. This isn't a luxury spot but expect good service

Not sure if I would be back here. The massage wasn't the best but it always wasn't the worst.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE: We didn't even get into the massage. We scheduled an appointment in advance and were told that we need to cancel 24hrs to avoid be charged. We unfortunately had to cancel and did so 24hrs before. The guy who answered the call, said it's fine and helped me to reschedule for the following week. I get there the next Saturday and the girl at the front desk said there was no record and that wet would be charged for the last massage. I showed this girl our phone record to prove to her that we made a phone call. She told me that she still doesn't believe it! Walked out the door and would never go back! read more

Section 1284.45  Display of License Every holder of a license as a massage therapist shall display the license in a conspicuous place in the licensee's place of practice, in the place of practice in which the licensee is employed, or, if the licensee is engaged in massage therapy at more than one place of practice, in the licensee's principal place of practice or the principal place of practice of the licensee's employer.  If the licensee practices in more than one location, a copy of the license shall be displayed in a conspicuous place at all other places of practice. (Source:  Added at 35 Ill. Reg. 12885, effective July 20, 2011) Now that we have that cleared up, let's talk about this place. Things they had: -A "bar" that was basically a counter upon entry. This was worse than some houses I've bartended in. -Decor that reminded me of a grandmother decorating her guest room -Towels placed on top of my back, and over my head while I wore a triple layer mask - covering my face to the point of inability to breathe Things they didn't have: -Licenses displayed in a conspicuous place -Waivers for liability, which is frightening given the fact that every place I've ever gone to has waivers -A choice of massage therapist -Discussion of pain or specific spots to target This place is not just questionable, it's down right frightening. At no point did my massage "therapist" speak to me other than to ask me to remove the thing that covered my shoulders. I walked back to the room, which was decorated in old linens that appeared to look like bad kind of like a cheap hotel room. The tables were either literal tables or were elevated twin bed platforms with some padding on top, but did not have a hole for you to place your face into in order to breath and remain in a neutral position. Atop the "table" was a few rolled towels in a circular shape with paper towels on top, a long towel to cover the linens on the table, and a pillow at the end of the table. In the midst of a pandemic, it seems not just unsanitary, but dangerous to have anything on a massage table that isn't able to be sanitized between clients, let alone putting down a towel or two and calling it good. The male therapist, mind you I do not feel comfortable with any male outside of my partner or doctor touching me, arrived and said nothing, but covered my head and back in towels, and began massaging through a towel. I was unable to breathe during the course of the massage and mentioned it to the person giving the massage. To make me more comfortable, he tore apart the paper towels laid on top of the circular towels, thinking that would help. It didn't. At no point could I feel comfortable. I questioned whether the person giving the massage was licensed as I felt my back crack (note: you're supposed to stay away from the spine when massaging). Not just that, but as this male massaged me, he remained with his pelvis next to my face most of the time as he massaged my (then bare) back, reaching down and passing his hand over my rear end, even though he was not massaging that part of my body - nor did I want that part of my body touched. The towel was moved down to my butt and legs, and I was massaged through the towel - again, I had no desire for this. After a bit longer, he moved back up towards my back, using deep pressure across my full back - again pushing into my spine as he did so. Towards the end of the massage, he started to wipe my back off vigorously, and then violently grabbed my shoulders (truthfully where my tension lies because I am stressed and simply wanted a back and shoulder massage), rubbing the towels across my shoulders quickly, grabbing a few times, and then toweling me off. He then goes "ok, baby - we done". I'm not your baby. I don't know you. You didn't even tell me your name. Not only that, I don't have a receipt. There were no waivers. There were no licenses displayed - save the liquor license - but dare I say that I don't think that person was licensed and when I go for a massage, I want to feel comfortable with a person touching my body - not question whether I need to report this business. Don't worry - I made a complaint with 311. Best of luck with your business. read more

Versailles Massage & Bar - Massage Therapy Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best massage ever! They took good care of us and we booked last minute on a Friday. Great location. Bar seemed cool.

Maybe this place is a hit or miss... To keep this short and to the points, my latest visit here the female massage therapist was falling asleep during my massage, more than a few times. I continuously had to move in attempt to wake her up however it got to the point where I had to take the cover from over my eyes and ask her if she was going to be able to finish! The quality and service of my massage was less than acceptable. Also, the male massage therapist that was massaging my friend, interrupted their massage by stepping out the room during their massage, which, cut their time! No warning, nothing said just stepped out, came back and didn't make up the time lost. Also, cocktails were brought in during the massage! SMH. This was communicated to the front desk in hopes of the business "making it right", however the guy laughed and said he will "ask her if she needs some rest!" (Umm, OK!?) then passed the "tip" envelope. Sad and bad business. read more

FRAUD!' The place is small for one. Me and my companion had to stand with our drinks. Secondly they FALSE ADVERTISE what the massage entails online. It is not a full body massage. Once you get there they ask for more money to massage the back. With all clothes on! The rep at the desk was rude and did not honor the advertisement. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Versailles Massage Bar read more

I bought two Groupons for this place. A massage for two at a very discounted price of $79 for an hour. It came with two free cocktails and we were very excited on the day of our massage. When we arrived I will say we gave credit where it was due the layout, tables, music and organization of the massages was a 5-star experience. They soak your feet in hot water before the massage which feels awesome. Unfortunately, I am very short and it was physically uncomfortable for me to have my feet in the bowl and lay back in the table. My legs weren't long enough which made it uncomfortable, I think they may need to rethink that strategy and have another option for people who are under normal height. The bucket is too high so it was an Olympic move for me to lay down on my back on a table that was higher than knee length. Maybe offer that portion of the massage in a chair? The massage itself was great! I don't feel like it should've been advertised as a hot stone massage when only about two minutes or less was with a hot stone. I would think it should've been a higher percentage of the massage if it was a hot stone massage, right? Lastly, I didn't read the fine print of my Groupon! The massage we paid for only included arms, hands, feet, and legs. If you wanted your back done it was another $15 per person paid directly to the business so essentially another $30 and they did not add any time to the massage. The issue I have with that is you look at the massage price online and think it's great. You pay $79 for an hour for two people but it's technically $109, because no one is going to want a 60 minute massage with hot stones that doesn't include their backs. Even funnier what if we would've said no to the $30 up-charge? They only used the hot stones on our backs, so if we said no to them would they have used the stones on our feet or hands? Hot stones aren't generally used on small areas so I'm not sure how that could ever work as advertised without the up charge. It was a marketing gimmick, which does not lend well to the overall integrity of this company. They also propose $25 per person tips and the drinks were made very weak. When it's all said and done it's $160 for a one hour massage for two people which is not a discount on the average $80 per hour most massage places charge. The massage itself with the $30 up charge was good despite the fact they don't add any extra time. When I attempted to book a massage here after the Groupon it was confusing and we decided against it. I'm not sure what their overall goal is regarding their relationship with Groupon. Do you have this as a marketing tool to increase your customer base or is Groupon your sole source of selling your services? If it's the latter I don't think that's a good idea. read more

I wouldn't even give a star at all. I scheduled today for 6:30pm with a lady through the phone. I called at 5:30 pm to confirm and reschedule for 7 if it's available (if not I was okay with 6:30). Upon calling, a guy answered and told me there was no reservation for 6:30 but a 6pm. I NEVER scheduled for a 6pm. The lady on the phone told me 6:30 was fine. Then the man on the phone said they closed at 7. I asked him "I thought you closed at 8?" He said "No, 7." Later on, after fighting for my reservation, he proceeds to tell me that there was actually a party of TEN coming at 7 that's why he can't reschedule me. He lied to me about their closing time. He proceeds to tell me that no one booked me for 6:30 because the "first thing I teach my staff is no half hour bookings." He kept lying to me. When asked for his name, he told me never to call again and that he doesn't owe me anything. Take my advice. You'll be disappointed. The service is THE WORST. Listen to everyone else's review. Don't be like me and think that your experience would be better. I am not one to write reviews like this, but this was the worst service I have EVER experienced in my life. They will cancel on you if another party comes and is bigger. UPDATE: business continues to lie. Just look at all the other reviews everyone. Owners are liars and like to blame the customer. read more

The massage was very nice. I like how they wipe off the oil on your back with hot towel before ending the massage. I usually head home after a massage because my back is covered in oil. The thing that put a stank on the whole experience is when the front desk lady said the tip is not enough. read more

This is the worst and most terrible business in the world... Versailles. Yesterday, me and my husband Neil We were looking for a relaxing massage We made an appointment for later in the day We were told our Groupon didn't cover the cost of the massage A massage would be $25 more (each) We weren't expecting the best massage in the world Well me and Neil We looked at each other And we each said, Let's get this over with So we laid down on the table covered in towels And it just so happened to be The worst massage in the world It was the worst massage in the world. Look at the reviews and it's easy to see This business is likely a front for something unsavory Not worth your mon-ey. Once every 4 minutes or so you can clearly hear the receptionists anger grow Or outside conversation flow Needless to say, we were stunned. whip crack went my back the next day and I was done. I ask you, Should massages cause you pain? I say nay, Save your money And walk away. This was the worst most painful massage in the world. No one spoke English So we couldn't stop it It was the worst massage in the world Ouch! It was the most egregious massage, the worst massage in the world! And the peculiar thing is my friends, The massage I received on that fateful night It wasn't actually performed by a licensed therapist. (written to Tribute, by Tenacious D) read more

I came into Versailles today for a 30 min foot reflexology treatment. Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted and told to have a seat. I arrived a bit early but they were able to start my appointment right away. When you enter you have to walk up a long flight of stairs and the waiting area is near the bar. Seems like a great place to come with a group of friends of for a birthday party. My treatment was really good and I am looking forward to coming back. Check it out! read more

This place is not fancy. No aromatherapy, the gowns are hospital-like, the room was a little cold, the masseuses aren't particularly calming or friendly. They're just there to do a job and collect a tip. I purchased a groupon for the Versailles Royal Treatment for Two which is described on their website as: "Versailles Foot Reflexology with Hypogastric massage & Foot Mask with choice of Swedish / Deep Tissue therapy massage. A Glass of Champagne or Cocktail per person." "With a choice of Swedish/ Deep Tissue therapy massage" makes it sound like... you get a Swedish or deep therapy massage? NO. You are led to a room where you are told that there's a $20 up charge per person for a torso massage. Otherwise they'll just massage your arms and legs. Um, why is this listed as the most expensive thing to buy on the website if it's not even a full body massage? I knocked off stars because of their up charging business model and false advertising. This is a really poor way to conduct business and Groupon should clarify their description and reprimand this business. The masseuses waited outside the door awkwardly for a tip. I would've tipped either way, but they're a little awkward/ aggressive for the tips. The massage was actually pretty good and that's why it's not 1 Star. read more

My husband who is currently overseas purchased me for Valentine's Day massage for two with a cocktail on Groupon. This place was the closest to my apartment and I didn't have anybody to bring with me, so I called them and made a reservation per the number provided to me in the email when I received the gift certificate. Arrived, grabbed a cocktail and received an alright massage. Upon leaving I presented them the Groupon I had for two people and two cocktails. The owner and his girlfriend ended up declining me and yelling at me stating that on the Groupon website there a specific instructions when making an appointment, you have to state that you have a Groupon during the time of booking. Apparently customers with a Groupon have different availability and this massage parlor needs 24 hour in advance to validate the voucher so they can receive their money. Long story short I had to pay out of pocket more than the deal for two people and a cocktail when it was just me by myself, getting yelled at, and being told that they don't care about the Groupon that I received as a gift. read more

I was gifted two Groupons for use here. I used one and had a wonderful experience! The ambience was perfect for me and the massage was so relaxing and made my muscles feel rejuvenated! Around this time I decided that getting a massage regularly, like every two weeks to a month, was going to be basic self-care for me. Then I attempted to schedule the second appointment. The woman who answered the phone was so rude and nasty I told her I would call back later in hopes of getting someone else who was less unpleasant and actually wanted me to make an appointment. Then when I called back I spoke to a gentleman who told me that not only could I not use my second Groupon, I could not have an appointment at all as I had used a Groupon before. Now keep in mind, at the time you were allowed to buy up to four Groupons for the same massage at this spa. Evidently you're just not allowed to use them, or return at any price once you've used one. I informed him that I was looking to be a regular customer, didn't matter. Well, obviously I don't go where I'm not wanted, so my twice-monthly massages are had elsewhere. read more

Honestly, it was the worst massage I've experienced. I purchased a grouping for a 30 min massage. Of course they are going to convince you to upgrade for a full hour. Typically, I would fill out a form asking about my health or problem areas, none of that happened here. I was directed straight to a room pretty quickly and the masseuse started immediately. I wasn't sure if I was getting a massage or if I was being beat up. She didn't ask what pressure I wanted and I'm not sure she understood when I asked her to lighten the pressure. I could literally see her standing on her toes to dig into my back. I understand working out tough spots, but this was ridiculous. I came to relax, not leave in more pain. Also, it was freezing in the room. Reconsider this place. read more
