Spa Profile: NoMI Spa at Park Hyatt Chicago

Park Hyatt Chicago is a luxury urban retreat located on the city’s most iconic avenue.

Park Hyatt Chicago is committed to giving its guests a mindful, restorative experience—one that encompasses the art on the wall, the food in the dining outlets, the beds in the guest rooms and the treatments in the spa. In March 2023, it announced the creation of the ultimate luxury urban retreat by being the first hotel in the city to offer Bryte Balance beds.

“At Park Hyatt Chicago, we strive to provide a luxurious home away from home for discerning global travelers,” says Rike Erdbrink, General Manager, Park Hyatt Chicago. “By equipping our suites with offerings such as the Bryte Balance beds, we are excited to continue to meet the level of hospitality our guests know us for, while offering an elegant oasis in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast.”

The property has curated specialty experiences to each of the two new suites: The Wellbeing Suite and the Mindfulness Suite, both of which include experiences at the NoMI Spa. The suites include:

  • The Wellbeing Suite, which includes a Bryte Balance mattress; an in-room TONAL digital fitness system, as well as access to Peloton Bikes by request; a freestanding, deep soaking tub; Bulk Apothecary eucalyptus sleep oil and body butter; and fresh-pressed superfood juices and nutritional bites crafted by NoMI Executive Chef Terence Zubieta.

  • The Mindfulness Suite, which includes a Bryte Balance mattress; access to an outdoor tranquility terrace; an in-room yoga mat, ball, blocks, and hand weights; a luxurious sleep mask; and Bulk Apothecary eucalyptus sleep oil and body butter.

The luxury hotel is also home to NoMI Spa, which features a calming and minimalist environment.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Park Hyatt Chicago to ensure their guests receive a restorative night’s sleep with our science-backed sleep technology,” says Luke Kelly, CEO of Bryte. “Park Hyatt Chicago prides itself on providing a personalized experience to their guests, and now they can also benefit from a night of sleep customized for their personal comfort.”

What can guests expect from the NoMI Spa? We spoke with Aimee Miller, Assistant Director of Rooms, who oversees the spa. She shared with us what to expect from the newly renovated spa.

Why You’ll Love It: NoMI Spa’s calming and minimalist environment allows for a complete relaxing experience. Guests on romantic getaways, staycations and business trips enjoy being pampered and treating themselves to a serene spa experience in the heart of bustling downtown Chicago. Though the spa initially opened in 2010, it reopened in July 2022 as part of the hotel’s $60 million renovation, seeing its own updates and refresh. Longtime guests are pleased to know that the wellness destination’s dedication to warm hospitality remains the same, as does its approach in luxurious, well-rounded care. 

The spa offers an intention-driven artisanal approach to renewal with treatments focused on improving overall well-being.

Key Features: NoMI Spa is comprised of three treatment rooms (one single, two double). One double is a couple's room and the second double is semi-private, so five treatments could go on at one time! The style of treatments include massages and facials.

Bonus: Each massage offering includes a facial component, whether rhythmic tapping of acupressure points helping to deal with stress or facial marma point therapy to increase relaxation and restore energy to your skin.

Snacks Served: There's sunflower seed-based trail mix and fruit-infused water available. NoMI Spa also offers bottled cold-pressed juices and fresh fruit with your treatment purchase. 

Guests also enjoy use of the three-lane, 25-yard lap pool on the 7th floor with views of the Chicago cityscape.

How is NoMI Spa coordinating with Park Hyatt and their Restorative Package?

Both Park Hyatt Chicago’s new Restorative Package and NoMI Spa are reflective of Hyatt’s holistic approach to well-being. NoMI Spa presents an intention-driven artisanal approach to renewal, offering a treatment menu focused on improving your overall well-being. Therapists act as artisans, crafting personalized experiences based on specific intentions. Accompanied by an invigorating steam room and pool, the spa's refined massage and skincare journey features industry-leading products by emerginC and customizable HydraFacial treatments. Whether in their rooms or in NoMI Spa, Park Hyatt Chicago guests are able to customize the products and techniques to suit their individual well-being needs.

What will guests experience?

Upon arrival, therapists ask guests questions about their preferences and treatment customizations. Clients can request more than one massage type within the duration of their massage. NoMI Spa facials are customized based upon the client's desired result. Relaxing instrumental music is used during treatments, as well as four scent sets from Aromatherapy Associates: 

  • Revive Morning: Citrusy, resinous and woody tones with grapefruit oils, rosemary and juniper berry 

  • Muscle: Sharp, cooling and aromatic with tones of lavender, rosemary, black pepper and ginger 

  • Light Relax: Woody, sweet and floral with key ingredients of lavender, petitgrain and ylang ylang 

  • Support Equilibrium: Floral, sweet and resinous with frankincense and geranium

Park Hyatt Chicago’s new Restorative Package can be added to any room stay and centers around three pillars of Feel, Fuel and Function.

Insider’s Tip: HydraFacials are an insider's favorite skincare treatment that offers medical-grade results without the down time, using advanced technology to exfoliate, rehydrate and nourish the skin.

Calm Mind and Grounded are NoMI Spa’s most requested services. Calm Mind utilizes a Swedish-style massage as the base to this experience. Grounded incorporates the use of heated basalt stones.

NoMI Spa is comprised of three treatment rooms including one single and two doubles.

Each massage offering includes a facial component, whether rhythmic tapping of acupressure points or facial marma point therapy.
