    Included with your spa treatment(s) are three hours at the therapy pools. We spent most of our time in the largest of the pools, which was the ideal temperature, full of minerals and covered with a lovely dome. Just wonderful. The change rooms are well stocked. The only opportunity would be to improve the dispensers in the showers that pumped out the teeniest amount of shampoo, etc. My daughter and I had facials. We were wrapped in duvet cocoons. Perhaps the most pampering facial that I have ever had. Skin was extra glowy of course. If I recall correctly, there is a 10% discount for hotel guests. It was calm and quiet. Initially I respected the no phones / photos rules until I realized that no one else was! Regardless, I tried to be respectful in taking the photos that I did.

    Was staying @ The Moose and decided to make a reservation at the spa for a body scrub…read more Unfortunately a few hours before my appointment the esthetician cancelled due to illness so I opted for a 90 minute massage. Beth was my masseuse and she was excellent. Also spent a little time in the hot tub prior to my massage. The view of the mountains was excellent. Wish I would have had more time to enjoy this spa, but I was pressed for time. High recommended.

    After a day of failed ski adventures (mother nature wasn't cooperating), I decided to cut my losses…read moreand just kick around Banff for the evening. I did a bit of shopping downtown and decided to treat myself to a little spa treatment at the hotel. Meadow Spa + Pools was worth every penny! Meadow Spa + Pools is located in the Moose Hotel, which is where I had stayed, so I just had to stumble over there in my bathrobe and flippy floppies for my appointment. Since it was a last minute thing, I booked my massage about an hour before my scheduled time and they were incredibly accommodating and squeezed me in no problem. I went with an aromatherapy massage and my masseuse helped me pick out a scent that would help me relax. I also informed him that stress tension is my biggest issue and that my shoulders/back were basically FUBAR at all times. Also, my legs (thanks to some a massive ice hike up Sulfur Mountain), were incredibly sore. Gratefully he really spent time focusing on those areas, working out all the tension and pain. He checked in with me regularly on pressure and it just felt wonderful. I felt so relaxed after my session. Admittedly, I'm not entirely sure I'm someone who really responds well to aromatherapy (most scents actually give me a headache) so I personally wouldn't add that piece again in the future but the massage was glorious. As a spa guest you have access to their private hot tub, lounge (with tea, water infusions, snacks and lounge chairs) and the hotel hot pools and sauna on the roof. The lounge and the treatment rooms are clean and soothing. My massage table was heated and felt very cozy. It's easy to feel chilled in the winter while in the mountains but they do a nice job keeping you warm here. As a guest of Moose, I already had access to the rooftop pools so I decided to take advantage of the private spa hot tub after my massage. The private hot tub had the same amazing mountain view as the roof tubs but it was smaller and more intimate. I was the only one in there, in fact, so I got to relax deeply. This hot tub has a lovely waterfall and the firepit is located directly next to it, so it felt cozy and luxurious all at once. Loved every second! Worth every single penny. Would highly recommend a visit here. Just be sure to give yourself a little time to enjoy all those extra amenities!

    Review Visit: July 13th, 2015…read more During a 50+ hour drive, you naturally stop at gas stations and restaurants for a stretch of the legs and bathroom breaks. But a hot spring? Sure, why not! If you've been reading my last few blogs, you'll note that I went on a 50+ hour trip across America and Canada to reach Nakusp, British Columbia. Along the way, we made many stops at gas stations, restaurants and various odds and ends. When we were approaching the Banff National Park area, Laura asked us if we wanted to spend the afternoon taking a break from driving. All the adults immediately said yes and so did the kids. We set our new coordinates to Banff Upper Hot Springs and got excited in anticipation. As we pulled up, Laura had to hunt for a spot to park as the number of parking spots was rather limiting. After we waited for a spot to open up, everyone filed out of the van, gathered our swimming gear and headed in. The building that houses the business is beautifully built. I'm not expert on buildings but it felt like a mansion that was lifted out of the Swiss mountains. As we headed in, we got in line and read the signs and posters as the line slowly moved forward. When it came time to pay, I think it was around $10 or so per adult? Maybe a little more or little less? The website says under $10/adult but they may have seasonal pricing. Either way, it is a fairly cheap admission cost. After paying, the guys and girls split up and head to their respective locker room. Andy and I shared a locker since we weren't carrying much. After getting in our swimming trunks, it was hot springs time. Now, if you are thinking of a normal pool with screaming kids, parents lounging on chairs, a life guard with sunscreen on his nose and that one person doing cannonballs, you couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, the hot spring was more of a relaxation experience. No noisy kids. No diving board. No nothing. Just relaxation. That first toe or foot in to the water was exciting. I believe the big pool were the majority of the people were had it's temperature around 100F/38C. It was comfortably hot and as you fully submerged in to the pool, you felt yourself melt and all your worries slowly dissolve. We spent about 30 minutes or so in the main pool and that is about your limit before the heat of the hot spring causes you to feel dehydrated and thirsty. During that 30 minutes, Andy and I decided to try the hotter springs behind the main pool. This is like the hot tub version of a hot spring. Smaller, more intimate and a solid 20F hotter than the main spring. I don't recall exactly how hot the hotter spring is but I know after 10 minutes, I had to cool off and go back in to the main spring. Laura told us that the indigenous people of the area would relax in hot springs to open the body's pores to let out negative/bad stuff and then they would jump in cold water to close everything back up. Here, they offered a cold shower in the corner walking area. Being the explorer that I am, I jumped out of the pool and took a deep breath before dumping a ton of cold water on me. Talk about shocking! As I stood there with cold water pouring over me, I couldn't help but stare at the mountains as my body cooled down and I wonder why I do the things I do. Did I mention the beautiful view from the pool? While your body gets to enjoy the benefits of relaxing in the hot water, your eyes get to enjoy a gorgeous view of the mountains and skyline. I tried to include photos of the view but they do far from serve it justice. I found myself just zoning out while staring at the landscape that poked up beyond the wall. All my worries and concerns just disappeared as I became attuned with nature and serenity. While I highly visit anyone and everyone to try a hot spring out at least once in their life, you should really just come and check out Banff National Park in general. It's one of the most gorgeous places I've ever visited. I am from Central Illinois, so the change in landscape from flat lands and corn fields to mountains and forests was a welcoming one. If you can't make it to Banff, just know there are a ton of hot springs in the world and if there is one within a feasible distance from you at any time, don't hesitate to go. Your mind, body and soul won't regret it.

    The hot springs admission was included in the package we purchased with the Banff Gondola, though…read morewe had to pick up the hot springs tickets separately at the visitor center in town. The hot springs are just a short 7-minute walk from the gondola area. At check-in, you'll need to remove your shoes, but indoor slippers are allowed outside. Lockers were included with our tickets, though towels cost $2 CAD each. Once we got to the thermal pool, it was a bit underwhelming, there was only one pool, and it was quite crowded, especially with a lot of kids, which made it less relaxing. Honestly, it felt like something we could have experienced at our hotel's hot tub. We stayed for about 45 minutes before calling it a day. While I'd definitely recommend the gondola experience, I would skip the hot springs.

    It was Christmas Day and hubby was at the mountains so I decided to pamper myself with the spa! I…read moremade a local call from our hotel phone as I wasn't able to call the spa through wifi. They post bookings online which is convenient, but I decided to call in case they had any openings. I was able to get a facial appointment at 5:45PM later that day. I was also excited that the Red Earth Spa is located in the Banff Caribou Lodge, less than a minute walk from where we stayed. I arrived 20 minutes early, (they recommend 15 to fill out paperwork and change into your robe). I was tempted to go into the Hot Pool/sauna area, which is part of the lodge, but didn't bring a bathing suit. The robe and slippers fit me perfectly and the robe was super comfy! I read a magazine whilst waiting for my esthetician. The waiting rooms were quiet and comfy, though in the spot by the teas and fruit, you can hear the shrieks and shouts of the kids playing in the pool area. Not a huge deal as in the facial room, I couldn't hear anything. I believe my esthetician's name was Jessica. She was very nice and friendly and assessed my skin. She used Eminence products which is an organic brand from Hungary. I haven't had a facial in a long time, but I knew it was necessary due to the dry climate in Banff. I had a Classic Facial and it was the best facial I ever had!! I don't remember all of the steps involved, but there was a good amount of products being massaged into my skin and a lot of facial massage. My facial also included a leg and arm massage which was awesome and so relaxing! The extractions didn't hurt too much and fortunately my skin didn't need them. The best part of the facial was how I had some red patches and irritation on my face and by the end of the facial, they had almost disappeared! These Eminence products have been so helpful and I bought 2 of the items that she used on me! If I'm in the area, I will definitely return here for another facial or massage! The facial was about $108 before gratuity and my Eminence product purchase, which I though was reasonable, remembering a facial that I had in Cranford where most of it consisted in a face mask and not enough massage and lymphatic drainage. This place is 5 stars in my book!

Accidentally marred my pedicure getting redressed after waiting 40 minutes to dry. Fixed ok but not perfect but hey was my fault right. Fast forward to 4 hours later... pedicure polish is still sopping wet & looks like a hot mess. For $110 (including tip) it should be perfect right???? Hot foot it back at 4:45 - only girls there are counter girls with no experience. One of them offers to help me remove the wet polish & tries her best. Make me an appointment For the next day. Fine but am on vacation & setting aside 2 days For a pedicure is not sitting well with my other travelers. Return the next day. Get a gel polish so at least I know it will be dry.
