I had the ultimate aromatherapy massage! AMAZING! The bed is heated and its adjustable. You will be completely cozy and comfy! Be sure you give yourself enough time before/after to enjoy the rooftop hydro spa. We were here in March and there was snow on the ground. It was beautiful. Great views while you soak. After your treatment, you are offered champagne in the relaxation lounge..and it has great views of the water. SO RELAXING!! I loved my treatment. There are lots of add-on they will offer you. Its not a hard sell, but the receptionist and the therapist will make sure you know about them.

Loved my couples massage day so much that I came back for a facial this time. Upon check in we filled out some forms, and we were given a quick tour of the spa since it was my moms first time. I did my organic facial with Natlie, and she was very accommodating to my needs with the temperature of the bed, steam, the pressure and everything else. She even recommended some aftercare for my face and what else I can do to make my skin even better! The facial obviously included a facial as well as a face massage, décolleté area, head and arms. Afterwards Natlie brought me to the relaxation lounge to meet with my mom who got a super relaxing massage from Ben. Natlie offered us some champagne and sparkling juice for me since this was considered a special occasion before I gave birth soon. We got the best view with science world right in front of us and a relaxing stay. Thank you Spa by JW for yet another excellent and relaxing experience!

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself, and I decided to go for a Tides Body Wrap, as it's said to…read morehelp with water retention and body tone/texture, so the best way to prepare for holiday party season. The spa feels smaller than those in other of the big chain hotels in Vancouver, which at first I was underwhelmed by, but by the end, actually liked that so few people, as I hardly saw anyone outside of the staff, so you really felt like you had the spa to yourself! They had a quiet lounge to sit before/after treatments, with a small amount of snacks (fruit, nuts, tea and infused water). The treatment itself was amazing, my spa technician was Rachel, and couldn't recommend her more, absolutely lovely, always checking in throughout the treatment, and felt so relaxed/at ease the whole time. I did find the prices a little steep, but honestly, the whole thing felt luxurious and will be back for another body wrap! I will note, you also had access to few valet parking, full gym, swimming pool and sauna with any visit, but I did not utilize any of those services.

I had a Rejuvenate Infusion Facial (50min/$175 CDN) at 9am so I had the whole place to myself! The…read morereceptionist greeted me right away where I was given a tour of the facilities and then shown to my locker which contained a robe, sandals and a bottle of water. Once I had changed, I was shown to the Relaxation Lounge where I was given a hot beverage made with black and green tea, raw honey, vanilla and spices. It smelled amazing and I am pretty sure I finished it all in one gulp! I was also given a hot hand towel that had been soaked in essential oils which I need to start doing at home because it was so soothing! The Rejuvenate Infusion Facial is an oxygen facial, which is a non-invasive facial where oxygen is delivered directly to the skin via compressed air. This was my first time getting an oxygen facial so I had no idea what to expect. Marisa, my spa therapist, for the morning warned me that I would feel cold, but that it was oddly soothing. In addition to oxygen, an intensely hydrating Intraceuticals serum, containing low molecular weight HA, would also be delivered to the skin. The actual delivery device looks like an airbrush pen with a little well on top for the serum to sit in. Marisa started by double cleansing with a Clarisonic which was very interesting to me as this was definitely something I have never seen in a spa environment before! As a bonus add-on, I also had on my face the Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Eye and Lip Masks which are filled with hydrolyzed collagen. After a few extractions, the actual oxygen part began! It basically felt like cold air being blown onto my face and while it began as a funny sensation, I felt myself relax as Marisa did every inch of my face. After doing half of my face, she asked me if I felt a difference and truth be told, I didn't really feel a difference until she gently flicked my cheeks and right away, the side with the infusion bounced back like one of those vending machine bouncy balls! The side without the treatment may as well have belonged to a corpse by comparison. The effects were IMMEDIATE! The actual experience at Sense Spa was wonderful though and I now have my eye on the Canadian Maple Pedicure! I think the next time I definitely want to take a friend because I was kind of lonely in the Relaxation Lounge. If you feel like indulging yourself a little, book an appointment with the lovely ladies at Sense Spa!

On the day of, I arrived an hour early to my appointment and was able to access their other amenities like the outdoor pool, hot tub and fitness centre. The locker room is well equipped and even had a sauna in the women's changing room. Really enjoyed the hot tub pre-treatment - it was cool being in the heart of downtown while getting some rest and relaxation. About ten minutes before my massage time, I got ready and was served some amazing ginger tea before being led to the massage room. Yuko was fantastic. There are a few individual massage rooms, and even a couple room. The room was again very relaxing and well equipped with its own washroom, shower, robe, etc. The sangre de fruta products were so great and the oil and body butter used made my skin so soft! Really appreciated the small touches, such as a hot towel at the end of the massage and a cup of tea and snacks.

We booked a spa day and it was just the perfect amount of time spent…read more We both had the Sanctuary Ultimate Treatment, which is 75 min massage with private eucalyptus shower afterwards. There is pre and post beverages. We also added in CBD Oil and Hair Mask too. I knew I would be super antsy if I added in a soak and a massage as it's just too exhausting to spend that much time in one area. What we really enjoyed like all Shangri La franchises is how the layout is very similar in every country. I really could be in Guangzhou or Tokyo. I was first introduced to this hotel chain over decade ago and the touches of it's signature hotel fragrance and linen is unparalleled. Pros I knew it was a beautiful intimate private space. Super relaxing city escape. Cons We had pool access (not from the spa package) and other amenities, as the location was super central with tall buildings surrounded, the feeling of being exposed is real (compared to Willow Stream Spa or even Westin Bayshore). The massage itself was "ok" and relaxing. I liked the option of the CBD oil. The hair mask, I would pass. Come for an intimate relaxing escape. Don't expect your muscle knots to be gone.

This private spa experience was gifted to me by a dear friend. This is the first time I've ever…read moredone a spa or self guided experience. In these pods, you can go solo or with one other person. Once you arrive, it is basically a shipping container that's been repurposed into a spa. There's a code you have to enter that's included in the welcome email. The staff greeted me and my partner warmly, and we were led to watch a 5 min instruction video. They explain the best way to use the spa pod - which includes a washroom/change area, shower, hot tub, hot rocks, cold tub, and sauna room. The spa pod section is actually outdoors, so there is no roof. It made for a cool experience as it was raining in November. I admit it got quite cold for me as the rain hit, but the hot tub was a nice haven. The washroom and shower section had towels and products for you to use, but I strongly advise that the product ingredients should be listed or provided somewhere in case anyone has allergies. I think that the products should all be unscented as well, to be safe for everyone. There was also no face wash, so I had to end up using the body soap on my face. My favourite section was the sauna with pink Himalayan salt rock walls. It was a hot sauna with light and air programming, to slowly dim lights overtime with music, until pitch black. This felt quite meditative and restorative. The lights slowly come back on after a while. There was also a hydration station, with hot and cold water taps, and peppermint tea provided for you. Nice touch! I don't know that I would visit again, if I had to pay for this experience, as I personally prefer a massage portion for full relaxation. It is also quite pricey for a 2 hour session. Nonetheless, this was a unique experience for me!

I went with my partner to this private spa experience and it was an interesting one! Relaxing! We…read morespent two hours here. It's located on Granville Island and there are six open-roofed shipping containers that have been converted into private spa experiences for one to two people. You enter the shipping container area using an unlock code that is emailed to you. Upon check-in, we watched a 3min 4sec video where a jarring robot-voiced lady walked us through the circuit. (Change the voice actor! lol) There are six sections: 1. Change room (Four body towels, two exfoliating towels, body lotion, face serum, hair dryer, and hand soap is provided.) Then you go into the open-air spa area. 2. Shower / cascading rain (There's only one shower so in the fall/winter, it's pretty cold if you're not the one under the shower head! Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided here. There is no face wash.) 3. Hot tub (Just what you would expect of a hot tub--it was really nice soaking in this tub and relaxing. Large enough for two average-sized women to sit/lie fully horizontal.) 4. Hot stones (Heated stones that you can lie, sit, or stand on. It's hotter in the centre! Really liked lying down on these stones too but it was raining on my legs as I lied here.. too cold!) 5. Cold plunge tub (A very cold tub.. I could only put my calves in lol.. Good for the brave of heart but that wasn't me in the already 3°C weather outside.) 6. "Wellness pod" (This space is completely enclosed and has Himalayan salt walls, heated wooden floors, and is similar to a sauna without the steam. There's nowhere to sit so bring a towel to use as a pillow for your head or bum. There's a button outside to start the "wellness" sequence and it's a 30 to 40 minute sequence where the lights dim to complete darkness. What an interesting experience! I had to take several breaks as it was too hot for me.) Within your time slot, you can use any section however you like--your own DIY spa experience. It's completely private as well so you can wear whatever you like (or not wear). Water and tea are provided. Stay hydrated! There are chimes throughout to remind you to start the "Wellness Pod" and to remind you of the end of your session. That way you can fully unplug and unwind. They say to not bring any of your own products but I find that ridiculous. They don't provide any options for people with sensitive skin, nor do they list any ingredients for any of their products. As a sufferer of contact dermatitis, I got so paranoid that I took Claritin after the experience. When I got home I also re-washed my face to use my own tried and true skincare products. Also, bring your own hair brush if you don't want to be a tangled mess afterward!! None are provided. Overall, I really liked the privacy this spa provided. It let me and my partner have a lot of fun and we were able to be our silly selves. Two hours was overkill for me though, next time I would book less time! Although, I don't know if I would pay again at their listed price.
