The pristine Spa at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston’s women’s vitality lounge
A pumpkin latte hydrating European facial? A fruit-forward treatment with matching martini? Here are a few seasonal restorative spa offerings that have us saying ahh for fall.
There’s never a bad time to indulge in self-care and personal pampering, but this fall, a slew of seasonal and signature treatments will go a long way toward helping you achieve inner bliss. First up, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Houston celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a series of Pampered Pink Treatments. Book a Polished Pink Pedicure or Polished Pink Body Scrub ($80 to $150) and 20% of the proceeds will be donated to the MD Anderson Cancer Center. At Hiatus Spa + Retreat, October’s in-season offering, the Plum Crazy treatment ($195), involves a fresh plum and violet essence exfoliating mask, a Vichy shower and aromatherapy massage using frankincense, elemi and angelica flower, topped off with a sake plum wine martini. New at Spa by Alessandra is its three-hour Fall Into Relaxation package ($455): Mimosas or Champagne on arrival, a 60-minute custom massage with brown sugar hand or foot scrub, a pumpkin latte hydrating European facial, and an arctic berry manicure and pedicure. For a little extra TLC: Through November, The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa’s Autumn Awakening Weekend staycation package (rates approx $400) includes a private Autumn Equinox Yoga session, 50-minute Tension Relief Cocoon Body treatment involving self-heating marine mud at its resident Trellis Spa, chai spice smoothie from the Center Court Café and access to The Houstonian Club.
