Get Your Tech-Spa On!
Guest blogger Kristin from Destination Affairs joins us today with another sweetheart of a deal:
If you are looking for a romantic spa get-a-away this Valentines Day (or winter!) , it is possible to con your man into a day at the spa. Complete with romantic French undertones, scrumptious restaurants, fantastic shopping (and a healthy stronghold against the CAD), luxurious spa treatments for her, and a little technology meets spa for him… Where could we possibly be thinking? First step, get in the car and drive North…to Montreal Canada!
Valentines day weekend rates are still available, however a weekend like this can be enjoyed year round. What a way to surprise that someone special for a weekend.
Head straight to Old Montreal; where shopping, restaurants, art galleries, and history speak volumes. Cobblestone streets, horse & carriage rides….Oh My! With an array of accommodations to choose from, our two favorites have been raved about by past clients and stays there ourselves! Hotel Gault offers guests a fresh and serene boutique hotel experience. Located in the heart of Old Montreal, rates start here at $150.00 per night plus tax. Another favorite? Hotel Le-St. James is surely not to be missed as it stands proud and boasts itself as one of the most proud historic buildings in all of Old Montreal. Rates from $290 per night plus tax
Now for the spa part! Montreal is home to numerous day spas, all offering wide varieties of treatments you may not find here in the States. From Thalassotherpay, Massotherapy, Turkish baths, Middle Eastern inspired steam baths (Hammam) , Amma (needless acupuncture), Esalen, Ortheotherpay, Trager, Vichy massages, and of course, various types of couples massages.
We’ve chosen our favorite spa to tantalize you into jumping in your car and heading North. Our treat? The Ovarium Spa, offering a “cutting edge spa technology” and creatively soothing experience. The Ovarium Spa offers Pulsar Treatments; Pulsar is a device that includes a miniature control unit, a pair of goggles that position tiny electroluminescent diodes (LED) in front of each eye, which creates and encourages a deeper type of relaxation, meditation, and thus creating intuition. A single session will run about $22. The Ovaruim Spa also provides flotation baths and massages, as well as offering over fifteen of hard-to-find and unique massage and relaxation techniques.
Finish off your romantic weekend at the L’Academie Restaurant. They are a BYOW (bring your own wine), so stock up on your favorite champagne or wine and enjoy! The “Escalope San Daniele” is a must try!
