Become One with the Environment at the Four Seasons Spa.
Scottsdale is the Bel Air of the Sonoran Desert. Located just Northeast of Phoenix, it has come to be known as the destination of the pampered classes.
The Four Seasons Hotels are also known for locating their charming resorts in the best playlands on earth. No exception here. In writing this review, the words seemed
inadequate, and I really just wanted to resort to pictures.
The spa has picked up on the aura of both the desert setting and the clients they serve. Examples of the spa services include:
Jojoba and prickly pear polish
This full-body exfoliation combines deeply penetrating jojoba oil with the healing properties of prickly pear to leave the skin smooth and moisturised.
Sonoran honey body polish
A Sonoran honey and refreshing orange sugar scrub is used in this vigorous and effective body exfoliation.
The reviews online were sparse, but all save one were gushing with praise for the facility and the staff. The lone negative reviewer may have merely shown up on a day where either a staff member or the reviewer, herself was in a bad mood.
The Four Seasons Spa is pricey, and they would probably be the first to acknowledge that. You are paying for the setting, the outstanding personnel, the unique service offerings, and the option of spending time before and after enjoying other hotel amenities.
Erica Tiffany, writing for online mag, sheknows.com in the beauty and style section, had this to say about the Four Season Spa in Scottsdale:
Nestled North of the Valley in the tranquil Arizona desert, Four Seasons Troon North is a safe haven for women in need of some ‘me time.’ From the moment I stepped on the grounds, I was impressed. I was encouraged to use their fitness room, go hike nearby Pinnacle Peak or spend the rest of my day lounging in a cabana by their sky-blue pool. It really made the entire day memorable! But, I was most impressed by the professional attitude of everyone I encountered. They really made me feel welcome and special!
Of course, as with any proper spa, this one offers a eucalyptus steam room. The 100% pure eucalyptus oil is injected directly into the steam to provide a perfect harmony of soothing essential oil and steam. Every part of your body will thank you for spending time in their steam room.

Do folks just give better reviews when they are on Maui? I only ask because in going over the reviews for the 4 Seasons Spa in Wailea, the reviewers didn’t have a lot of gushy things to say. Apparently the facilities are not lavish, and the variety of spa options are limited. One thing for certain, the folks love this spa. No online rating service had less than 4.5 out of 5 stars. You may want to book an appointment for the services you need, especially in season.
Of course, in addition to having the Maui spirit, spa goers might also just be swept away by the entire 4 seasons experience. There are few luxury resorts anywhere that provide a more magnificent overall getaway.

My experience at the Four Seasons Spa was phenomenal.
I chose this spa because the front line person (Kristen) who booked the treatments for me was so accommodating.
From the moment i entered and was taken to the locker room and eucalyptus steam room to the lounge area to wait for my attendant – Nadine – , the feeling was one of serenity.
The best thing is the locker rooms and the steam room.
When you see visitors to amazing spas specifically pointing to the steam room as part of why they loved their time there, you can almost always count on the fact that there was eucalyptus oil injected into the steam.
A very large part of the population loves a good steam. But it is a rare individual who doesn’t love eucalyptus. Rarer still is the one who is an aficionado of steam that doesn’t feel eucalyptus is a natural part of the entire reason for doing steam. It is all about the combination.

| Riverside, CA? Really? The Mission Inn |
Prepare to Move into a Different Era! Kelly’s Spa Is an Elegant Edition to the Remodeled Mission Inn
Kelly’s Spa is in located in one of the most charming and romantic locations in Southern California, the Mission Inn in Riverside. If you live in or near Riverside, or have plans to travel in that section of the Southland, treat yourself to a night or at least a lunch in this amazing living museum.
Kelly’s Spa gets very high marks from the reviewers. Overall, the spa was getting a minimum average of 4 stars out of 5, and commonly 4.5 stars. Some of the negatives seemed to be related to Hotel staff issues, rather than to the Spa itself.
The most notable part of my review of the reviews was how often the eucalyptus steam room was mentioned. There is no doubt that the combination of steam and eucalyptus is amazing for relaxation, muscle relief, and wellness, so it continues to surprise me that some gyms, hotels, and spas who have steam rooms fail to go to the tiny extra expense of including an automatic injection system for eucalyptus oil into the steam room.
Here are a few of the reviews that we picked up from various review sites.
Ah Kelly’s… Where the eucalyptuses steam soothes the soul as well as the skin, the champagne is always bubbling , and the staff treats you like royalty. Not to mention pool access, decent lockers, calming lounges, and proper waxes.
Yes, I am most definitely a fan.

why does this place have to be so far away from beverly hills??
I have been to at least 15 spas out west here and this place still gets my vote for most loved spa (ok, spa at the four seasons on doheny is amazing and does a great pedicure). I love that they could care less if you’re being healthy or are LA skinny and will stuff you full of champagne and chocolates and don’t care if you have some margaritas by the pool before or after your treatments. LOVE the eucalyptus steam room.

Quiet and Relaxing environment secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the busy hotel! Love the eucalyptus steam room and locker area. The relaxation room is very peaceful with fresh fruits and Fiji water.

Well, the locker rooms are spanking brand new and state-of-the art now. And the steam rooms have the luxury touch of automatically injected eucalyptus oil pumped into the steam.
