7 Hotels with Next-Level Wellness Offerings

Not long ago, hotel spas seemed like an amenity mainly reserved for honeymooning couples and moms who needed a break. That’s not the case anymore: As wellness has become an integral part of many travel itineraries—hello, yoga at Red Rocks—hotels around the country are revamping their beauty and fitness offerings to match. The next time you hit the road, there may be a CBD treatment, Pilates class or even a full wellness festival (seriously, the Edgewood Tahoe is hosting the Taholistic Wellfest in October) waiting at your destination.

Amenities at this historic Scottsdale destination—once a popular getaway for Hollywood legends Bing Crosby and Zsa Zsa Gábor—have gotten a facelift in recent years, combining charming mid-century architecture with modern luxuries. The retro-chic hotel’s VH Spa for Vitality + Health recently added chromotherapy to its menu of more traditional facial and massage offerings. Select the color that best suits your needs—blue to reduce blood pressure or violet to stimulate your immune system, for example—and be prepared for a serious detox.

The Estate Yountville is exactly what its name implies: a sprawling 55,000-square-foot property that boasts not one but two different hotel experiences.

The entire space has been newly redesigned to fit in seven treatment rooms and five suites, plus a menu of CBD treatments. It’s also one of the first resorts in North America to use the O2CHAIR, a cutting-edge seat that purportedly increases oxygen flow to the body.
