Beauty: Spa Spotlight

The beautifully appointed Guerlain Spa is just a quick step off of a bustling French Quarter side street.

Nestled inside The Roosevelt Hotel, this hidden gem is an oasis of European opulence offering a full menu of spa and hair services for both women and men. The Guerlain Spa quietly opened three years ago to rave reviews, and has maintained a cult-like following with locals and visiting celebrities alike.

Editor’s Pick: Intensive Body Therapy using the Vichy shower and body polish. Massage therapist Lauren Curl expertly rubs a ginger-and-jasmine concoction into your skin, then rinses it off before a head-to-toe body massage. The result is soft, glowing skin and complete relaxation.

Insider Tips:
Through August, book any 50-minute service and receive a day-pass to the coveted rooftop pool.
Enjoy free champagne and free valet parking year round.
Local residents receive 20% off all services.
