We can’t get enough of facials that incorporate high-tech machines and innovative peels and masks, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love a good old-fashioned buff and brush. Case in point—the services at this five-star spa remind us of how good it feels to sit back and relax. Choose from offerings like the personalized couples massage and the rejuvenating Hydrafacial Platinum with red and blue LED Light Therapy and lymphatic drainage.

Occupying a cavernous space in River West, AIRE Ancient Baths Chicago is a popular spot for relaxation seekers. The serene candlelit space houses a series of hot and cold pools to traverse at your leisure, including the Spanish-born spa’s only indoor-outdoor bath. From the 102-degree hot pool to the 50-degree ice pool, the thermal experience promotes tranquility while awakening the senses. A pair of steam rooms, heated marble stones and ultraluxe add-ons—including a red wine bath—complete the picture.
