When travelling for work, you can find yourself stuck in conference rooms, taxis and emails. A spa night in is a small change that can make a work trip feel like it’s actually restoring you (and without requiring extra vacation days).
Pick the right night
More likely than not, the optimal time to attend the spa is in the evening, after main work engagements. That way, you are not hurrying and can turn off that much better. Your program will be disrupted if you get delayed on your day of arrival or have check-in strife unless you stay more than one night.
Remember to book ahead of time. Midweek, especially, the spa slots can fill, so book in and remember to include:
A 30-minute back/neck/shoulder massage
The 5-Minute Facial Post-Travel Reset
1 Hour Pass use of The Thermal Suite
You never have to spend a full day. Sometimes, a treatment and an hour of tranquillity are enough.
Pack for it
Swimsuit, slippers and a comfortable change outfit. When you have limited luggage space, be sure to ask if the hotel provides (robes, towels and toiletries).

Put an out-of-office on after hours, turn off notifications and treat it like a meeting you can’t postpone. The goal is to reduce stress, not add pressure.
Bonus tip: upgrade your sleep
End it with a hot shower, some water and go to sleep early. A spa evening is truly most beneficial before going to bed, and you will notice the difference in how rejuvenated you wake up.
