A good spa is all about relaxation, and this spot in River North sets the tone as soon as you show up for your appointment. Instead of sitting in a typical waiting area, kick up your feet in a calming, dimly lit, semiprivate tented chamber. The treatments here take things to the next level. Think facials featuring botanical and vitamin-rich ingredients, hot-stone massages, chakra balancing and more. On a budget but still need to relax? Allyu offers a free lunchtime meditation session the second Wednesday of each month.
Spas are a necessary respite from urban life, and our top Chicago spas offer far more than just massages and pedicures—at these places, pampering is priority No. 1. Whether you’re looking for a warming treatment in the middle of winter, spa treatments to nurse your hangover or just a quick facial, you’ll find it at one of these top spots. Just remember to brush up on your spa etiquette before you book your appointment.
