Weekend of Beauty Treatments: The Butter Stone Massage at Spa Merge

Last night, I went to heaven. Or as it's called here on earth, Spa Merge. This new concept in spa-going had me hooked from the very first second I walked in the door. The basic concept here is that each person receives his or her very own treatment room, complete with bathroom, locker room and all the amenities one could want during a spa service. (The bathroom even has both a stall shower and a separate jacuzzi tub!) Everything is completely individualized, so you can enjoy your treatment and spa visit in peace, quiet and tranquility. The room even has a comfy robe waiting in the closet, cozy slippers next to the bed and an eye pillow in case you want to rest!

I enjoyed the Butter Stone Massage, which included both hot stones placed and drawn along the body and a massage with enriching shea butter. My masseuse, Jennifer, was unbelievable -- she used smooth, sweeping strokes and really alleviated the tension that had been building up in my neck and shoulders all week.

The sheets on the bed are delightfully lush, and the bed itself is amazingly comfortable.

The amenities provided include cleanser, a brush and comb, and even toothpaste and a toothbrush!

At the end of the massage, I was left feeling so relaxed that I actually felt a little tipsy as I walked home!

The Butter Stone Massage is $160 for 75 minutes. For more information or to book an appointment, click here.
