The 5 Best Spas in Rhode Island
We interviewed Louise Amerine, Spa Director at Raffles Boston, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.
Why You’ll Love It: Guests love the spa décor; our treatment rooms were intimately designed with private restrooms, baths, and showers for guests’ comfort. Our entire wellness floor feels like an urban oasis that provides hotel and spa guests with an escape from the demands of the busy city life.
Key Features: The spa features a beautiful sauna with Himalayan salt panels and a eucalyptus-scented steam room and relaxation area featuring individual privacy pods. The wellness floor consists of a spacious fitness center with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment and a stunning 20-meter indoor swimming pool.
Insider’s Tip: Guests are invited to arrive early to enjoy usage of the heat facilities to fully take advantage as it truly changes your well-being prior to treatment. Taking the time to unwind in the steam and sauna relaxes your muscles and calms the mind to fully immerse yourself into a deeper state of relaxation.
Bonus: Our therapists offer a makeup touch-up after specific treatments for guests to experience some of Guerlain’s makeup like the KissKiss Bee Glow and Terracotta to create a subtle yet beautiful glow.
Splurge Treatment: The Black Orchid Facial. This treatment is a truly unique and luxurious experience that combines the powerful ingredients of the Black Orchid using its unique technology to rejuvenate the skin and deliver more youth and radiant skin.
Favorite Treatment: Every treatment offered is luxurious and offers an array of benefits for individual needs. One of my favorite treatments is the Royal Honey Repair and Renew Facial. This treatment uses the Abeille Royal range, which is known to revitalize the skin while combining a purifying massage to leave your skin smooth and with a luminous complexion. The results have left my skin feeling completely renewed and recharged.
Unique Treatment: One of the most unique treatments is the Imperiale Face Sculpt, which uses a high-tech sculpting massage technique together with deep muscle work to smooth the skin and redefine contours of the face. The experience relaxes the skin and provides a lifted effect to the facial area.
Featured Products: The Spa uses Guerlain products for all treatment experiences and in our men’s and women’s amenity areas. The entrance also features a beautiful display of Guerlain products for guests to discover and experience after their treatment to continue their skin care regimen in the comfort of their home.
