Day 81: Huntington Spa at The Langham

Filed Under: 365 Things, Discover Pasadena

If you are looking to relax and to be pampered, then Huntington Spa, our Day 81 of 365 Things To Do In Pasadena™ should not be missed.

There is really nothing better than being able to drive up to the elegant and classic Langham Hotel and immerse yourself in a true retreat, if only for a few hours. And, it’s a true getaway when I visit The Huntington Spa.

The spa has recently been renovated and now features a state of the art fitness center, 13 treatment rooms (including a couple’s room), sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a beauty salon. Along with their famous massages and facials, they are now featuring treatments based on Traditional Chinese Medicine – Chuan Body and Soul Treatments.

Fatigued from a long air plane trip? No problem… just get a Flight Recovery Chuan Treatment which combats jet-lag and mental exhaustion and promises to restore balance to your senses with an Herbal Salt Scrub to reveal a glowing complexion and a therapeutic Chuan Harmony Massage which slowly relieves exhaustion, stress, muscle aches and tension. This escape is completed with a foot massage!

A full menu of services is offered on their site. Massages include their signature Swedish, as well as the Hot Stone Therapy massage (love that one!) and start at $130 for 60 minutes. Of course, if you’re looking for Deep Tissue or Aromatherapy, even a Maternity Massage is available.

A variety of facials, peels, cleansings and microdermabrasion treatments are offered along with manicure/pedicure and Caviar Deep Conditioning Hair treatments.

So, if you are looking for a place that can take you away from the hassles of day to day activities and want to be soothed and pampered, give The Huntington Spa a try. You will not be disappointed. And, while you’re there, set aside some time to walk around The Langham’s fairy tale grounds!
