Unique Spa Treats

It seems no matter where you go, every hotel has a spa experience available… and the menus are almost as complicated as a gourmet restaurant’s! With the pressure to top their competition, spa directors search the world over in an effort to learn of new treatments they can offer their customers on an exclusive basis. Some of the most unique spa experiences in the United States can be found at world-class Colorado Springs hotel The Broadmoor (www.broadmoor.com), where The Spa at The Broadmoor boasts delectable body treats that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. A sampling of our favorites…

Gold Shimmer Therapy Massage
A massage unlike any other, you’ll feel your body transformed from a mass of knotted stress to a glowing beacon of light – literally! Starting with bagged, hot volcanic stones, tight muscles are worn down in anticipation of an anti-aging gold wrap made of golden algae, followed by another 20-minutes of massage with gold nectar. The result? A body that glows from relaxation and a stunning gold shimmer!

Pearl Glow Body Therapy and Facial
This unique Spanish ritual boasts the ability to defy dehydration, flaccidity and skin fatigue, making it a virtual fountain of youth. An essential oil ritual starts you off on the right relaxation foot, followed by a pearl essence powder body exfoliation. Then, while wrapped in the essence of white mother of pearl, a nourishing and toning black pearl facial perks up your pucker. You’ll look better than your high school yearbook photo in no time!

Luxurious Couple’s Massage
If the Doublemint twins are to be believed, things are better in twos… so why not share a side-by-side massage with your sweetie in the Broadmoor’s private and intimate couple’s room? You and your paramour get your choice of a 50 or 70 minute Swedish massage – unless you want to upgrade to deep tissue – performed by two therapists. Now that’s quality time.

Serenity Shower
If you’ve ever wondered what a $100,000 shower would feel like, this is the treatment for you. 18 silver TAG shower heads mimic the feel of standing beneath a waterfall, spraying you from all angles. Not only will you be fresh and clean for your spa treatment, but it’ll leave your muscles warmed and ready for your massage.

Colorado Hot Stone Massage
Speaking of massages, it would be a mistake to pass up this native favorite. Heated basalt stones, worn smooth from Colorado rivers, are applied to the body to help loosen tense muscles, and used during treatment to help work out knots you didn’t even know you had while helping warm the body. How many ways can you spell “bliss?”

Pick a Pedicure
With so many delightful treats for feet, it’s hard to choose just one of the many pedicures available. There’s the Ice Cream Sundae pedicure, with chocolate, vanilla or strawberry soaks topped with a sherbet exfoliating scrub and marshmallow foot mask (not to mention, a complimentary milkshake!) The Olavie Chardonnay Pedicure, utilizing anti-oxidant rich grape seeds from Chardonnay grapes from vineyards in Burgundy, France. Or try the Zensational pedicure, performed with Zents aromatherapy collection featuring soaks, lotions, hydrating balm and masks. No matter which one you choose, you’ll be walking on air!
