“Peace and welcome” is what The Godfrey Hotel in Chicago is all about. They have created a place that pays attention to comfort over convention, to style over standards. They have 221 guest rooms and suites, 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and a floor with 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. 

The flagship property for the Godfrey Hotel brand, they unite unique architecture, design, and cutting-edge technology with gourmet cuisine and sensational nightlife offerings. Nestled in this hotel is a boutique spa that is wholly focused on indulging and caring for its guests. Treatments can be received in one of the two treatment rooms at the spa or therapists will come to guestrooms to deliver their array of massages, body treatments, facials or waxing services. 

We spoke with Tanya Bauer, Director of Operations for Spa Boutique, who shared insider tips, special treatments, spa bonuses, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests love the intimacy of the space. They don’t have to leave the hotel to receive a 5-star massage or facial experience at Spa Boutique.

Key Features: Personalized body massages, exfoliation body treatments, and facials. 

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. 

Featured Products: EmerginC Organics.

COVID-19 Safety: Daily staff temperature checks, mask wearing, and flexible cancelation policy.
