How to arrange spa-style treatments during your stay
Contact the 24-hour front desk or concierge to ask about available in-room spa treatment options and current providers; availability and hours can change, so confirm while you’re on property.
If you specifically want a jetted tub soak, request a Spa Suite when booking or ask the front desk whether any rooms with soaking tubs are available for upgrade at check-in.

| Book Spa Suite (jetted tub) | Reservations / front-desk upgrades |
| Pool or fitness access questions | Front desk / fitness desk on 17th floor |
If you need full spa services off-site
Because there’s no on-site spa with a menu of treatment rooms, some guests choose to visit nearby day-spa options in River North or along the Magnificent Mile for full-service massages, facials, or salon treatments.
The front desk can usually recommend or arrange local spa appointments; public listings and neighborhood guides list several independent spas a short walk or transit ride away.
- Ask the front desk for recommendations and booking help for off-site spas.
- River North and the Magnificent Mile neighborhoods have multiple day-spa and salon options within walking distance.
- If timing is important, book off-site appointments before arrival to secure preferred times.
| Option | How it compares to in-room service |
|---|---|
| Off-site day spa | Full treatment menu, treatment rooms, wider therapist choice |
| In-room treatments | Convenient, private, limited menu and treatment space |
| Spa Suite jetted tub | In-room soaking/tub experience but no professional spa room |
