VUE

Enter through a long glass-enclosed corridor and catch a glimpse of the marble clad pool before being greeted by the warm and welcoming front desk staff. Once checked in, you are guided to the dressing room that comes equipped with showers, slippers, sandals for the pool, robes, and essential toiletries. Aer you are snuggled into the robe, a designated masseuse arrives to lead you to the massage room where ambient lighting and the scent of oils draw you in as you lie on the heated massage bed and prepare to have all your pain and trouble areas rubbed away. Our masseuse, Becca, also shared some holistic tips and tricks for using pressure points to relieve a migraine and calm anxiety while also curating the experience by asking what our "yummy" spots were. e metallic paint and rounded room corners make the environment feel extra relaxing as so light bounces from wall to wall. Guests can opt for a regular oil massage or La Mer body cream–the famous cream, known worldwide for leaving skin looking plump, smooth and glowing. Veteran facialist Vorlicka started with an exfoliation treatment, followed by a facial massage using La Mer face cream. Even the slightest mention of a problem area and she made her best efforts to sneak in a little bit of extra treatment for the pure love of the job commenting "Every one of my clients are celebrities, whether I see them oen or just one time." A dip in the pool, followed by a nice warm soak in the hot tub was the best way to end the day. e cabanas in the pool area are comfortable and roomy and come with a pot of tea.
