Chris coordinated all of my reservations and handled every detail seamlessly. They truly did not miss a beat. From the beautifully curated setup to the thoughtful touches--balloons, champagne, mimosas, strawberry lemonade, sparkling water, tea, and an incredible spread of light bites (charcuterie, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and strawberry shortcake)--everything was executed flawlessly. The experience felt incredibly exclusive, almost like I had the entire spa to myself and my guests. Antonio, the owner, greeted us personally and ensured we received white glove treatment from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. I genuinely felt like a queen celebrating such a special milestone. When I walked into the lounge and saw the setup, I was overwhelmed--in the best way. I actually cried. The robes, slippers, added seating, and overall décor were stunning. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. My massage with Brenda was phenomenal. She worked out tension I didn't even realize I was carrying, and her nurturing, calming energy made the experience even more special. I left feeling relaxed, cared for, and completely restored. I'll absolutely be booking with her again--and I'm already planning to return for a facial with Ruby. If you've ever considered celebrating your birthday--or any special occasion--this way, run, don't walk to Unwind Wellness. I would rate this experience a 1000 out of 10. You will be cared for, celebrated, and treated exceptionally well.

Aura Spa is a quality spa inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard without breaking the bank. Here's…read morewhy I enjoyed it: 1) Location: It's inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard. Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

Let me preface by saying there are two entrances to VIDA fitness, one facing 4th Street SE, and the…read moremain doors/entrance where the spa is, faces Tingey Street SE (basically just around the corner!). See photo attached for entrance to the spa. I came here because I pulled my shoulder and it hurt to bend, turn, lay down, sit up, and basically everything else. I saw Agnes and she was amazing. She was attentive and gentle but still got the job done. The inside was so calm, and the ambience was relaxing and chill. I definitely felt pampered. I scheduled my appointment last night and was able to get in today. I have another appointment later this week since my massage therapist back home said to wait 5-7 days if you're getting a massage for a targeted area/for muscle pain, but I will definitely come here again! Another Yelper said $115/60 mins is great for Navy Yard, and while I think I could find less elsewhere, Agnes was worth it and I cant wait to go again. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder, and she even worked out knots in my lower back. She provided a full body massage (head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, legs) and I left feeling like a new person.

I had a great massage here a few months back!…read more I'm definitely a sucker for a massage - sometimes for a functional need, while other times more so for a treat. When I'm getting a "treat yo'self" massage, I'm looking for relaxation, ambiance and luxury. (When I just need a get'er done massage, I just need some hands!) The staff at Spa Pendry all seemed wonderful, but their amenities and relaxation areas were a little less cozy and relaxing that some of the other luxury hotel spas in DC. The massage itself was very heavy on the massage oil but the therapist was very concerned with needs being met and seemed to really care about the quality of the massage. Since there are excellent massage therapists at many spas, it's truly the amenities that wow me when I seek out a luxury and relaxation massage. Spa Pendry definitely checks many of those boxes!

My better half spoils me so here I am, courtesy of his perfect self. I wanted him to come with me…read morebut he only likes my hands on him. They do have couple massages as an option, if you're interested. I love love love the Pendry. It's a whole vibe, it's giving rich mama vibes. Luxurious in every way. I typically do not use my phone while at this spa because of the sign that tells you not to as soon as you enter the woman's locker area. I was able to be a rebel with a Yelp cause and snap a few pics this go round because lucky for me, I was the first client and no one was around. Pros: This is hands down an absolute elegant spa! Probably one of the best in the DC area compared to the many other Luxury hotels. The amenities before and after a service are great. (Early bird appointments, you can use the amenities after your service, do not come early, they open promptly at 10 a.m.) Professional Staff, always courteous from the front entrance until you leave. Shout out to Wayne! Quality in all aspects! People, services, and products! They have a eucalyptus steam room, dreamy! Leave your flat iron, etc at home they have it all and the best brands too! They offer champagne! You can use the hotel amenities if you come. It's never ever super crowded. If you're paying this kind of money you don't want to be in a crowd. Spas should be peaceful. You can easily stay 3-4 hours, I always do! Cons: Parking: I love to just uber here and stay the night but if I don't, the con, parking is crazy! If you're using their spa you can valet for $35 for up to 3 hours! Sign me up, cause the garages are confusing and it's almost the same price for a couple of hours. Relaxation area: The relaxation area is in a common area not secluded from guests. It's not intimate. Gessika was perfect. My facial with her was fantastic. Wallace is my go to for massages. They have a new guy that is highly recommended, may have to try him next time! The price for services do not include gratuity but they do add on 22%. 18% goes to the person who assists you. Average day at the spa, $280-$500. Worth every penny! Overall, this place is a winner! Thanks to all the staff at the Spa Pendry! I'll see you soon.

I wish I had stayed home…read more I visited on a Saturday with two people. We booked ahead on the website -- $72 for 45 minute deep tissue massage, per person. We were running about 10 minutes late, but we called them and let them know. When we arrived, the front desk staff barely said anything to us and just whisked us back into the massage room. They barely welcomed us, they didn't ask about any focus areas or preferences, and it seems like they were not the strongest communicators. We got a very basic massage with a mix of back, legs, and arms. It was not at all a deep tissue massage. It was not relaxing. It was not worth it. I didn't feel anything at the end; like, I might as well not have gotten a massage at all. When we were done, they whisked us to the counter to pay. Again, not very friendly or communicative. There is a sign on the counter that says there is a $5 charge for paying with credit card, but thankfully they did not charge us that. The place is very barebones, like the service. They have about 6 massage rooms. We were the only ones there, and I got the impression there was only more than one staff person there because we booked in advance. FYI They have some coupons on Groupon.

From the moment she greeted me in the reception area, I knew I was in for a wonderful experience. Alexis gave me the choice of whether I wanted her to educate me throughout the facial or share everything at the end, which I truly appreciated. Not only was the facial itself divine, but it also came with a starter kit, empowering me to continue the regimen at home. Alexis is kind, warm, and incredibly welcoming--exactly what you hope for in a self-care experience. I left feeling refreshed, informed, and cared for. She's everything you'd want in an esthetician and more!

I loved my…read morefacial soo much that I returned to that location with my cousin and I purchased memberships for us. Attempting to make an appointment at that location, there was no availability. I made appointments for us at this location. We were able to get afternoon appointments for the date we selected. When that date rolled around, I was given a call about coming in earlier due to the parade that was supposed to be happening. (I won't mention who the parade was for). Once I mentioned we weren't locals, I was told whenever you get here we'll take you right back. We were greeted upon arrival and offered water. It was a short wait for our esthetician and our facials soon began. The one thing that I love is that my esthetician was black (every time we visit | even at the other location). I felt very much at ease and she really knew what she was doing. My facial was sooo relaxing and my skin came out feeling so refreshed. She really listened to what I needed for my skin. My cousin loved her facial and she looked really dewy and glowy afterwards. The young lady at the desk even gave her skincare product advice. We will definitely be back if DuPont Circle is not available. My only concern is when making the appointment, I had no way of letting them know that my cousin has her own membership, so they had to cancel her appointment and reschedule it under her own account. (I pay for both memberships!)
