12 reviews for Four Seasons Hotel Chicago Spa
The Four Seasons has to definitely be one of the best spas in Chicago. I went in for a 50 minute body wrap which was well worth the price. Their staff is not pretentious at all and they did seem to want to make sure I enjoyed my experience.
Their relaxation lounge is small (the picture posted above makes it look a lot bigger than it is.) However, I did enjoy the nooks they had and could have easily taken a nap while in there.
The treatment rooms were nice and calming, but nothing extraordinary to write about. I had the red sedona wrap which was excellent. It was a 50 minute treatment that included a wrap, scalp or foot massage, and moisturizer.
The locker room had a sauna and a eucalyptus steam shower. It was also fully stocked with fluffy robes, single-use hair brushes, soaps, shampoos and the works. The only downside is that hotel guests pass through the locker room to get access to the pool and spa so it can get a little loud.
I didn't check out too much of the pool but it did look inviting. Keep in mind though, that hotel guests also have access to the pool so it won't necessarily be a spa experience in the pool area.
One of my best friends is in law school, if you've ever been in law school or even in close proximity to a law school during finals, the tension is downright palpable. Her birthday is in May so I decided the best gift I could give would be some relaxing post-finals pedi's at a fancy place downtown. I picked Four Seasons after much research, if I'm dropping serious coin to get our nails painted, it's going to be nothing short of amazing.
I was absolutely not disappointed. It was relaxing and fun, they didn't rush anything and the staff was superb. We got to sit and relax by the pool area while our toes dried. The area had refreshments and fruit to nibble. All in all, it was pricey but worth it. Someday I want to go back and get a fancy massage or facial, I just need a good enough excuse to spend the dough!!
Relaxing massage coupled with excellent customer service. Wow. Good thing I don't live in the city; otherwise, I'd be tempted to spend far too much time at the Four Seasons spa!
I had never had a hot stone massage before, so I was a little nervous, but the therapist put me at ease immediately and kept me that way the entire time. I was so relaxed by the end of my session, it's a good thing I didn't have any plans to be productive for the rest of the day.
My only complaint about the spa is noise. It's not loud, by any means, but the walls seem to be paper thin, and I could hear footsteps and doors opening/closing in the hall outside during my massage -- slightly distracting. Otherwise, though, I couldn't ask for better, and I'll definitely be back.
The Four Seasons doesn't exactly market itself as having great bargains, so I hope I'm not doing them a disservice with this review. But I can't believe the experience I got for the money I paid.
I was window shopping online and checking out their $250 facials one day when I saw their waxing prices, which were actually cheaper than my regular salon. I figured it was a misprint, and called to make sure. No, it was right. I immediately made an appointment.
All I had was a bikini and leg wax, but it was the best wax I've ever had. When I got there I changed into a beautiful robe and slippers and was lead into a lovely room that somehow was dim enough to be comfortable but had enough light for my esthetician to be thorough. Her name was Yulia, and she was wonderful. She was both fun to talk to and comforting, and I am yet to find a single imperfection in her work. She carefully tweezed everything when she was done to make sure she got everything, and used the most wonderful smelling products on my skin afterward. I felt great. When she was done, she lead me to the relaxation room and told me to take my time.
What time was my appointment? 1pm
What time did my service end? 2:30pm
What time did I leave? 5pm
I didn't want to leave! The relaxation room had comfortable couches and cucumber water and served dried pineapple, cherries, and strawberries (not some tacky "brownie bar," like you-know-who). I chatted with other women, lounged, and when I got bored I headed to the steam room and then enjoyed an amazing cold shower that was a massage in itself with its water pressure.
Things did get eventful though. There was an event going on during my visit. A thirteen year old girl was having a birthday party at the spa. They hung out at the pool, got their nails done, and wreaked havoc in the lounging area.
These girls left their crap all over the steam room and spread wet towels everywhere. When I was in the shower, one walked in on me by accident, screamed, and ran away. She was followed by two others a few minutes later, and they thought my shriek was very funny. They took my robe and towel with them so I had nothing to wear when I got out. The lounging area had been filled with staff when i arrived, but they were nowhere to be seen when I was faced with having to walk out and look for cover amid the stuff they left on the ground. They were probably addressing the havoc the girls wreaked somewhere else in the spa.
The girls were cute and funny, though. One placated me a little by complimenting my boobs.
Do you remember when you were twelve and you were curious about sex and liked to talk dirty? But, you still didn't quite understand how stuff works? As I dressed I listened to a wonderful conversation of girls using dirty words, followed by an argument about how exactly sperm gets to its source - does it crawl across skin? Does it jump into a vagina from the penis? Do sperm have free will? Do the boys control the sperm somehow? Classic.
This experience was hands down the BEST spa experience I've ever had in the United States (the best overall being in Dubai). This is despite the very brief interlude with the girls, who were actually pretty amusing. And I cannot believe that I got this experience for less than $150 including a 25% tip.
They also have a promotion in which they have $30 off all massages all summer, and I can't wait to come back to take advantage of that.
If I could afford it, I would go nowhere else.
Couples massage equals happy couple.
O.K. guys, if I can ever give you one jewel to use, one little piece of advice, a smidgen of information that will help you make a girl feel special and on top of the world. It is the Four Seasons Spa.
I know, I know.......... You see the Four Seasons logo, and you can actually feel your wallet get lighter in your pocket. But, you might be surprised, because the price is comparable to most of the other full service spas in the city.
The big difference between any other spa and the Four Seasons is the absolute luxury that you get for your money. Expect top notch facilities and products to be used in all of your services. Couple that with impeccable and friendly service, and the pooh pah posh of a place like the Four Seasons, and any significant other will be drooling from the mouth.
My favorite is the couples massage. An hour and a half of side by side relaxation, tended to by experienced and courteous professionals. They even spread rose petals over the massage tables for ambiance. That is the type of attention to detail you should expect.
For the newbies. Add the pool package to your day, and chill in the hot tub or under the skylight in the pool. It is a perfect get away on a cold day in the city, without traveling to the Bahamas.
So now that you know....... Use this information wisely!
For my first spa experience, I decided to go all out!
At the risk of being called bousgie by my friends, I decided to treat myself to the Sensory rejuvenator (mini spa escape) which includes Swedish massage, facial, manicure and pedicure. It was so wonderful and the best gift I could have given myself.
The people there really treat you right. They are sweet and accommodating and really want you to have a great spa experience. The whole spa is really quiet, so you definitely feel relaxed. They have this waiting room where you can eat dried fruits and relax in their big comfy nooks. I could have stayed in that room all day and been happy with my experience.
I enjoyed all the services I had that day and not once did I feel intimidated by the staff or the people. They were not pretentious in the slightest and treated everyone with the same amount of respect.
I think I'll go back soon just to feel all warm and fuzzy again!
This was my introduction to spa massages, and now I'm hooked and spoiled for life! The spa is luxurious from start to finish, and I cannot think of a better way to be pampered.
The plusher-than-plush robe and slippers you begin the experience with are a wonderful way to prepare for a few hours of spa-tastic fun. Then there's the lovely, calming relaxation room where you can hang out between treatments, downing tea and strawberries in softly lit alcoves. And the spacious shower and sauna area is just bright enough to bring you back to the real world without breaking the spell.
As for the spa treatments themselves, I had a mani/pedi and an hourlong swedish massage. The staff were courteous and professional, but without the slightest trace of pretension. I will definitely be back!
Amazing. Great massage and a cool little chill-out room. Friendly and accommodating staff. What else can you ask for?
I'll need to come back here just to wind down!
I went here for a 1 hour couples massage. It was wonderful. The spa is very luxurious as you would expect from The Four Seasons. The price is steep, but well worth it. They even give you a complimentary glass of champagne after the massage. I will definitely come back here for a massage or other spa services!
I was tempted to review the Spa at the Four Seasons under their general 'Four Seasons Hotel' category... but the spa really functions independently as it's own entity and you technically can visit without ever experiencing the hotel at all. Thus after some thought... I'm paving new road so the spa can be hallowed as it should be.
Of course the Four Seasons is tops in luxury and accommodation worldwide... but they've done such an amazing job with this particular spa, it's honestly the best place to be pampered in all of Chicago. From the moment you step onto the spa floor you'll see exactly what I mean... the locker rooms are beautifully appointed in traditional 4S fashion with lots of muted colors, plush robes, marble, a huge eucalyptus steam room, sauna and plenty of amenities for getting ready after your services. Next it's on to the treatment waiting room which is even lovelier. Quilted and inviting with soft music, drapey fabrics, tons of pillows, and lots of sweet fruit treats and infused waters and teas for your enjoyment. If you aren't feeling like you've been whisked off to a distant and fabulous land by now than nothing will do the trick. The technicians and aesthiticians are world class and give the best in services. From massage, facials, manicures/pedicures, maternity specialities, water therapy, couples services and beyond they don't miss a single detail.
A day at the spa also gains you all-day entrance to the gorgeous hotel pool and whirlpool facilities (on the same floor as the spa - see pics!). An indoor haven with a view of Michigan Avenue and a dome ceiling window view of the cities skyscrapers this is something not to be missed. They must keep it a balmy 80+ degrees in there because it's the perfect temp for curling up on the plush loungers and taking a nap. FYI, buyer beware... the hotel pool facilities are for the entire hotel... I've been there on days where it's totally empty and days where families of 7 are playing marco polo in the pool. Pick your day wisely if you plan on hanging poolside because screaming tots don't really bode well with the spa lifestyle.
Don't let that deter you though, it's truly the perfect spa experience wrapped up in an intoxicating package to match. And with prices that are no higher than the rest of our day spa options in the area, the value of what you get here for your money is remarkable. But as with everything else, that's just the Four Seasons way.
I took my boyfriend to the Four Seasons recently for a couples massage, just to relax for an afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised by how great the staff and services were! We had a great time, and the space was very private and relaxing. The facilities are well-kept and accommodating. The services are not too pricey compared to some other spots in the city....and I think the staff is unpretentious and friendly. I will return for future services.
