Floating nine floors above the busy city streets, The Spa at Four Seasons Toronto offers a relaxing urban retreat replete with treatments for body and mind. Need a deep tissue massage to relieve stress? Go ahead. Want a relaxing private yoga session from the maestros at 889yoga? No problem. Fancy a warm honey wrap infused with French lavender, arnica and aloe vera? Who wouldn’t? There’s plenty to choose from on the extensive spa menu, but particular highlights include the signature “We are Yorkville” treatment, a tribute to the swinging ‘60s vibe of the neighbourhood where the hotel is based, which includes a hemp seed scrub and ends with a peaceful patchouli-scented hemp oil massage. And, of course, the opportunity to partake in Traditional Chinese Medicine and get a gold-infused facial.

In fact, there’s a dizzying array of choice here, with a sunlit indoor pool, a whirlpool, hair and nail salon, 17 treatment rooms and two steam rooms available to enjoy. At 30,000-square-feet, The Spa at Four Seasons Toronto is, pretty much, a miniature world unto itself. Guests who are so transported by the luxurious serenity are advised to enjoy the sweeping city views from the exclusive outdoor terrace; you’re still in Toronto after all.
