Four of GuestLife's favorite spas.
GENTLEMEN’S TONIC
This classic haven of wood and leather is for men only. An offshoot of the famed London Gentlemen’s Tonic, Houston’s version attracts oil barons and dot-com execs for massages, facials, and even traditional barber cuts and shaves. Uptown Park on the West Loop north of The Galleria. (713) 892-8383.
ZASPA AT HOTEL ZAZA HOUSTON
The hotel boasts over-the-top decadence, so expect nothing less from ZaSpa. Enjoy a Rock Star Massage with basalt river stones in a room draped in chiffon and covered in flower petals before slipping into a tub of water infused with Dead Sea salts from Jordan. 5700 Main St. near Hermann Park and the METRORail Line. (713) 639-4566.
FIORI SPA
The luxurious Fiori, in the heart of the Galleria area, transports you mentally miles away from the hubbub. This four-level spa of hand-chipped stone resembles a Tuscan villa and is surrounded by a wine garden and fountains. After a soothing wrap, facial, or fourhanded massage, dip into the underground thermal mineral pool before enjoying lunch on the balcony of your private suite. 2613 Potomac. (713) 244-0070.
MOKARA SPA AT THE OMNI HOUSTON HOTEL
A new spa overlooking the gently rolling acreage and swan pond, Mokara feels more minimal than luxe, but it’s all about the relaxation. Book a couples room for a double massage, then stay for the ultimate body treatment with anti-aging chardonnay grape-seed therapy. Yes, that comes with a complimentary glass of Texas chardonnay. The new Omni center also includes a fitness room and Cerón Salon. 4 Riverway just outside the West Loop near Memorial Park. (713) 624-4876.
