Sounds Steamy

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Seattle Opens

The mere thought of backwoods makes you bristle. (Your last trek drove home the meaning of bushwhacked. Stupid trees.)

Experience the outdoors indoors at the comfy, luxurious new Spa at Four Seasons instead.

Capturing the Northwest’s environs and aromas (without the muck and damp), glass and basalt rock tiles reference our waters. Treatments use regional ingredients, and several therapy rooms offer expansive views of the bay.

Deep Forest Bliss begins with a bath of pine, fir, and moss to detoxify and hydrate; exfoliates with volcanic pumice and Indian tobacco; and ends with a full-body rubdown. The Emerald Rain massage aligns the spine with a gentle downpour of essential oils.

Before you leave, take advantage of the eucalyptus steam room, sauna, and rooftop infinity pool.

And park it to your heart’s content.

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, 99 Union Street (206-749-7000 or fourseasons.com).
