Insider’s Tip: The best way to enjoy Spa Monarch is to fully immerse yourself in all of the amenities available. Arrive two hours before your service and bring swimwear to enjoy the rooftop pool and soaking tubs while letting the breathtaking views from 23 stories above the magnificent Rocky Mountains and rushing waters of Clear Creek Canyon set the mood for your Spa Monarch experience long before your service.

Splurge Treatment: Guests love the Spa Monarch Gemstone Signature Massage. This 120-minute massage features dry brushing to increase circulation and remove impurities from the skin. It’s followed by a customized full-body massage using our exquisite gemstone oil.

Unique Treatment: The Spa Monarch Tropical Escape Refining Body Treatment gives guests a spa experience they won’t find anywhere else. We begin by exfoliating your body using a coconut sugar scrub. You are then wrapped and lowered into our supportive SoftPak system that makes you feel weightless as you receive a scalp massage. We finish with an application of hydrating body oil that leaves your skin feeling luxuriously soft.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment is the Tone, Lift, and Contour Facial. This facial incorporates Eminence Organic Skincare, as well as a microcurrent treatment from NuFace to lift and tone the muscles in your face. You are left radiant, lifted, and feeling so confident!
