Alright, so boom...
Hubs booked me to come here for Mother's Day.
The spa at Loews is located on the 2nd floor inside the Loews hotel in Arlington. As far as I can tell, you have to valet - there's no self parking. (Side note: the spa will validate your parking, so it's free).
I arrived around 10:45am, so valet was super busy with guests checking out of the hotel.
Walking into the hotel, the lobby is beautiful. Open concept with lounge chairs, a cute convenience store, a few restaurants and a bar!
It's not immediately clear where the spa is located, so I had to ask concierge.
Making my way to the 2nd floor, there's a long glass corridor that leads to the spa. Friendly faces, great, attentive customer service. I was escorted to the spa lounge area which was quite relaxing and included snacks, water, & hot tea. They also brought me a glass of champagne.
I was then shown the women's changing area where I was given a locker, robe, & slippers. Also very nice! Huge showers & all the amenities you'd need.
The treatment: my husband, bless him, booked a treatment for me called "Tequila Body Treatment". Figured since I like tequila, I'd like this LOL.
It was...interesting lol. This is in no way a slight to Loews, because everything here was great. The treatment itself just wasn't MY cup of tea.
Starting face down - my entire body was upward brushed with a very coarse brush, followed by being slathered in warm body butter, with a paint brush. The body butter stayed warm for about 15 seconds, then it cooled down and as my therapist moved to different parts of my body, she covered me with the top sheet and blanket.... imagine getting out of the shower and immediately getting into your bed without drying off... that's how it felt . Then she asked me to turn onto my back...and proceeded to cover me up with the cold wet blanket . Aside from that, I did get a brief head neck and shoulder massage, which was very nice! I also got a facial mask.
Anyway...needless to say, immediately proceeding the end of this treatment, I ran to the shower lol.
All in all, good time, but I wouldn't get that particular treatment again. read more
