Splish, splash, she was taking a bath
Splish, splash, she was taking a bath-in a pool of 104-degree green tea? That's just one of the decadent treatments on offer at this stylish downtown spa. Get the blood flowing with the intricate water circuit ($45, $35 on Tuesdays). First, dip into the 25-jet saltwater pool (with crystals flown in from Brittany). Then plunge into the cold pool, and repeat after every hot treatment: the infrared sauna, the aromatherapy steam room and the aforementioned tea pool. Other indulgences include shiatsu, therapeutic and aromatherapy massage ($80-$175), full body mud packs and skin-softening scrubs. The Works ($195), an 80 minute head-to-toe exfoliation, will leave you with satiny skin. The spa has three very relaxing policies: women only, no tipping allowed, and one-third of the slots are kept free for same-day appointments.
