This Japanese-inspired spa is for women, run by women. Take off your shoes at the door and wind your way around rice–paper screens leading to spa bath facilities. Submit to an herbal wrap, which begins with a dry sauna, eucalyptus steam and Jacuzzi, or try head-to-toe tranquility in the massage therapy room (massage and wraps average $80). Swathed in a kimono, you can put up your feet and sip tea undisturbed (for up to three hours) in the relaxation room. It gets busy, so call ahead on weekends.
