Another Hotel Offers 'Relief' for Sports Widows

Where: 2125 Terry Ave. [map], Seattle, WA, United States, 98121

It might seem sexist when hotels like the Four Seasons Chicago offer anti-football spa packages that automatically assume that women don't like pigskin. The Pan Pacific Seattle's not-so-subtly named "Sports Widows Package" is a more obvious example, but even the ladies who love the game might want to set the DVR on Sunday to avoid the boozing sports fans in their living room and take a break at the spa. And for everyone else, the only excuse needed to get pampered is that it's a day that ends in "y."

The Sports Widow’s Package features your choice of treatment from the hotel's Vida Spa: manicure and pedicure, massage or facial. You also get accommodations for one evening in a deluxe guestroom at the Pan Pacific, along with overnight valet parking. Instead of the usual football fare of beer and pizza, the hotel provides Champagne and strawberries, plus you get a cocktail in The Bar.

Ditch the Football Fanatics for the Spa at the Four Seasons Chicago

Where: 120 E. Delaware Place [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60611

You get to chillax in the quiet Four Seasons' spa lounge rather than hear shouting over bad calls from the ref.

If you dread Sundays in the fall because your living room gets overrun by football fanatics, you can ditch the noisy, chest-thumping crowd and make a play for the Four Seasons Chicago's "Getaway from the Gridiron" spa package as a game-day alternative. (Yes, it's very similar to last year's Gridiron Getaway.)

For $175, the spa day package includes a stress-busting 55-minute Swedish massage, a one-day pass to the Four Seasons' pool and fitness club, a complimentary make-up session at the Bobbi Brown counter at Bloomingdale’s along with a gift, and a Football Season Survival Kit with surprise presents, Bloomie’s coupons and a voucher for 20 percent off a couple's massage at the spa when booked on Sunday through Thursday—that is, if you can get your other half away from the game long enough.
