Snacks Served: We recommend everyone who visits Spa Boutique to absolutely stop in to I|O Godfrey before or after their spa services for the best food and drinks. And you can’t beat the city views!

Bonus: We love our service enhancers! CBD has been a very popular option; however, our body melt scalp and foot therapy are always favorites, too! All include steaming hot towels and specialty products by EmerginC.

Insider’s Tip: We offer services seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our guests from The Godfrey Hotel Chicago love sneaking in an 8 p.m. massage and heading straight up to bed after. We can also take our services into your room if you prefer not to leave at all.

Splurge Treatment: This would definitely be our Monsoon Ritual, as it covers all the bases. You’ll start with a full-body exfoliation, massage, facial mask, and a scalp treatment.

Unique Treatment: Our Warm Honey Drizzle delights guests by incorporating a full-body brush and scrub, and is followed by a hot organic honey massage.

Insider’s Favorite: Our body melt foot therapy has been a favorite among those traveling to Chicago for work or pleasure. We wrap the overworked calves and feet in steaming hot towels, and utilize a peppermint detox mask to awaken and refresh tired muscles.
