A counter in this room displays complimentary refreshments and bite-sized snacks. Sip a sugar-free raspberry lemonade or cucumber-enhanced water while nibbling on almonds, Turkish apricots, dried cranberries and spicy wasabi peas.

The facialist will offer a relaxing massage to your hands, arms, neck and upper back with a rose-infused balm. While soothing the senses, this treatment will also increase circulation. Finish with an aromatic floral mist that brightens the spirit with its signature rose essence, leaving guests refreshed and glowing.
