The 6 Best Luxury Hotels in Seattle
"If you’ve never been to a Russian bathhouse, Banya 5 in South Lake Union can provide you with an authentic introduction. If you’re already acquainted with and fond of the parilka, Banya 5 is a clean, spacious, and well-run place to treat yourself to a sauna and traditional oak branch massage. In addition to a scorching hot dry sauna, Banya 5 is equipped with a cryotherapeutic plunge pool and tepid pool."
"This spa is well known and loved by Seattleites so you know we had to include it. Banya 5 is pretty much the place to head if you’re in need of a relaxing day, scrub, or serious bodywork massage. But keep in mind they are only doing massages at this time."
"A co-ed hydrotherapy spa that combines a variety of traditions under one roof. Features include a Turkish steam room with eucalyptus, a saltwater pool, and a parilka (Russian sauna). A fun globe-trotting experience, in our eyes."
"Come on over to the Eastside for some luxurious pampering in an unexpected space. Tucked into a Bellevue megatower, this newish, 8,000-square-foot spa combines swank with traditional, all the while honoring owner Z Zhang's Chinese roots. Think pedicures, body scrubs, massage treatments and a communal bathing area."
"And finally, we have to cap the list with Yuan Spa which offers your classic spa services. But they have a focus on Eastern Hollistic practices so you can also have services like cupping. So if you’re looking to try something new be sure to check out Yuan Spa."
"This is the closest to a full day spa experience you will get in the Seattle area. What I mean by that is that they have a sauna, steamroom, and hydrotherapy pools in addition to their services."
"With the capacity to pamper just 14 patrons at a time, this all-female day spa near Seattle University is on the small side. But in addition to a massage room, HotHouse is home to a dry sauna, steam room, cold plunge shower and hot tub. The highly-rated spa is known for its friendly staff and affordable prices, with entry costing just 8."
"Another female only spot, Hothouse has some of the best rates in the city, with their spa use only costing $18. They’ve got all the amenities too- hot tub, steam room, sauna, and the good old cold plunge. Want to take things a step further?"
"If you have followed me for awhile now, you know I go to lashbombsalon.com almost twice a month now. I originally found them because I was on the hunt for a Lash Lift place near me and just happened to stumble upon them on Instagram. I am huge on lash lifts over lash extensions because I love my natural lashes, the only problem is that they have zero curl to them naturally, so the lash lift is a game changer for me!"
"Located in Kirkland’s luxurious waterfront Woodmark Hotel, Still Spa is an Eastside gem. The beautifully-designed health and beauty spa provides an atmosphere that is relaxing in its own right. Add Still Spa’s customizable high-end treatments and friendly, knowledgeable staff, and you’ve got the recipe for a seriously rejuvenating staycation."
"Head to this marina resort across Lake Washington from Seattle for fresh air and pampering. Spa treatments include the Mount Rainier stone revival massage, head-to-toe waxing and creative facials. Guest rooms are tranquil, with understated decor, plush beds and a dreamy pillow menu with options for resting your head."
"Between Bellevue and Kirkland, east of the Seattle metro area, Woodmark Hotel and Still Spa lets you bypass city grit for a more refined retreat. Each guest room has muted tones, plush robes and a spacious bathroom. Wander or bike one of the trails next to Lake Washington, or take a kayak to Yarrow Point."
"Penelope The Beauty Bar is a gorgeous boutique spa inside the Fairmont downtown Seattle which has the newest gadgets like these hot tubs that are inflatable. I must start with that they have the best service in the whole city. I scheduled my mom and I appointments to celebrate her birthday and somehow I totally goofed and ended up showing up on the wrong day."
"A post shared by PENELOPE + The Beauty Bar (@penelopeandthebeautybar). And if you want to kick up your spa experience a notch you can head over to Penelope and The Beauty Bar inside the Fairmont hotel. This spa is known for its facials and use of super high-quality products."
"Penelope offers everything you’d expect from a spa at the Fairmont Olympic and more. Choose from a menu of body wraps, skin scrubs, a selection of massages and specialty skincare services. The spa’s full range of services also includes hair styling and makeup application."
"Massage Envy provides massage, skin care and total body stretch services which are an integral part of total body wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Keep your body working with Massage Envy. Schedule an appointment today!"
