The animal lovers at Kimpton Hotels love not only animals, but the whole natural world. So they are pretty proud to announce that they're the first chain to introduce sustainable products for their in-room spa treatments. Sure, it's not as cool as accommodating sloths, but for all of you who have no pet sloth, perhaps you can enjoy the new spa products instead.

Canyon Ranch Spas are the kinds of places we try to head for when our body needs a vacation even more than our brain does: these places are detox heaven. And soon there'll be one more, when the
Canyon Ranch Miami Beach opens up later this year.
Canyon Ranch Miami says it'll be taking reservations from July 15 for stays starting from October. Their website's currently giving "2008 Sample Rates" for the various rooms which start from $300 a night and go much, much higher, and given that curious use of "sample" we're guessing these rates are not quite fixed yet.

These are rough times folks, and who knows this better than the casinos.
So when you're looking at a Jersey Shore vacation instead of going all out on a Caribbean escape, the casino hotels will pull out all the stops to get you to make up the difference in frivolous extras.
Case in point: Caesars in Atlantic City has just unveiled their new 16,000 square foot Qua Spa, (a sister to the Vegas spa) kicking it off with exorbitant treatments perfect for the moment when you decide to say "the hell with it."

Outrageous spa treatments are all the rage these days at luxury hotels.
We rounded up a few quirky spa treatments not too long ago and now the Glam.com has added to the list with their The Six Most Indulgent New Spa Treatments available at schwanky hotels nationwide -- and they range from the vegetable, the floral, and the mineral, to the quadruple-handed.
Yes. Quadruple-handed. Keep reading for more of these exotic treatments.

We're already anxiously awaiting the Mondrian South Beach (which should have opened in May but now has been moved to December 2008) and now we have one more thing to salivate over: the 4,000-square-foot Agua Spa.
While an Agua already exists at fellow Miami hotel Delano, this one will up the ante with new signature treatments, like the "Heavenly Hangover" package and the "Travelers Retreat," as well as an exclusive skincare line by Sjal and separate Agua product line by Korres.

After undergoing a $36 million dollar renovation, the Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas has re-opened with a new look and a new 5,200 square foot spa.
The Spa at Stoneleigh features six rooms to perform some of the spa's signature treatments. Among them:
Le Grand Cru Meritage Facial, combining a unique blend of grapes, an anti-aging complex of raspberries, black currant, rosemary and olive leaf extracts through a double fermentation process; The Stoneleigh Indulgence Head-to-Toe Body Facial, a comprehensive multi-step treatment which incorporates all the revitalizing elements of a facial but for the whole body; the Maple Avenue Body Butter Wrap, celebrating the hotel's address utilizing a signature Bio-Maple compound.
And here's a special treat for women with buns in the oven: unique to the Spa at Stoneleigh is the "Pregnancy Keepsake Sculpture" service, where they will cast your preggy belly in blue, pink or yellow plaster, presumably to bust out for embarrassment or creep-out purposes on your child's first date or wedding day.
This may also be the only place in the area to encourage overindulgence in wine for the preggers and non-preggers alike: Stoneleigh is the only spa in Dallas to carry Davi Skincare, the "vinotherapy" product line developed by Carlo Mondavi, Jr. (yes, that Mondavi family).
Feeling, um, ambitious? Make like Debbie and "Do Dallas!" But honey, you'll need a wax first.
The May issue of Allure magazine just named Nicole Garcia, of Bliss Spa at the W Hotel Dallas to a list of the best waxers in the country. A magical account of the Allure reviewer's time on Garcia's table:
Sounds crazy, but the initial rips were so mild that we managed to answer her friendly questions without even biting our lip. We emerged 15 minutes later, so pleased with the results, we practically skipped home.
Um, yes. It does sound crazy. We don't skip--and if we did, we don't think post wax would be the right occasion--but it would be nice to have a bikini wax that doesn't feel like we're having our spirits ripped out of our bodies.
And imagine: after the wax that will change our lives, we can walk (not skip) upstairs to our room at the W Dallas to indulge in the W Does Dallas package, which includes chips and salsa, caramel popcorn, a copy of Modern Luxury Dallas, crazy discounts at Dallas shops, two free Texas-sized cocktails and, of course, access to Ghostbar so we can scope out our Dallas, er, "options."
For the morning: a free aromassage add-on with the purchase of a Blissage 75. Hopefully, you'll be exhausted and you'll need it. Wink wink.
The W Does Dallas package available until June 29, 2008, Tuesday-Saturday only. Rooms start at $269.
