Spa Profile: The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia is located on the 57th floor of a modern hotel.

There is no one single way to provide restoration and healing, which is why spas like The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center builds on its unique location and strengths to provide an individualized and unforgettable experience.

Set on the 57th floor of a modern hotel, the spa provides an escape, a place to seek wellness in many different forms. It’s a spa that provides a luxurious visual treat, a view of the city from high up in the clouds while nestled in a space that has more than 700 pounds of healing crystals built into the walls.

It is the first and only spa in Philadelphia to earn the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Spa rating. They offer a menu of signature experiences, body treatments, massages, facials, energy healing, nail services, hair care and fitness. The Spa’s Lifestyle Boutique provides local and bespoke gifts to extend the healing experience.

We caught up with Verena Lasvigne-Fox, the Spa Director, who shared with us what makes The Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia so special.

The spa offers stunning views of the city while nestled in a space that has more than 700 pounds of healing crystals built into the walls.

Why You’ll Love It: When you enter the hotel, it is a very modern and high-tech building; what the guests love most is the immediate sense of calm that comes over you when you enter our spa. I believe what really sets the Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia apart from other luxury hotels is that we have crystals embedded within the walls of our spa. There was a lot of forethought that went into the creation of the space and the intention is to provide good energy and vibes to our guests while they are on the 57th floor. 

We have created a wellness sanctuary above the clouds which offers a high-end product, including but not limited to our services and talented hands of our therapists paired with the curated selection of products offered in our lifestyle boutique. Of course, our pool is also a highlight as an exclusive amenity for our in-house guests. 

The spa’s Relaxation Lounge is the ideal place to decompress after a spa treatment.

Key Features: One of our key features that really sets us apart from other luxury spas is our view. There is something very serene and relaxing about being in or above the clouds. Even on the days where the view of the city is obstructed by the clouds, it almost acts as a form of sensory deprivation from the outside world which can really inspire relaxation and rejuvenation. 

Our Relaxation Lounge is the ideal place to decompress after your spa treatment. Guests are invited to lounge in the plush anti-gravity chairs overlooking Philadelphia’s sky-high views. 

And last but not least, our infinity-edge pool is reserved exclusively for registered Hotel guests and is an experience that is not to be missed. Our 30,000-gallon pool is heated for guests' enjoyment and is open every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Insider’s Tip: Each season our Spa debuts a special limited-edition treatment that is often value-driven. Right now, we are promoting our Ultimate Crystal Experience, which includes a 60-minute Crystal Oil Massage, a 75-minute Luminous Crystal Facial, a Spa Chakra Crystal Set to take home, and a LAGOS Caviar Icon Amethyst Bracelet.

This value-driven promotional treatment is ideally suited for spring, as the treatments are designed to reawaken the skin using Rose Quartz, energizing Carnelian and gentle, balancing Aventurine. This energetic trio works in synergy with Sodashi pure plant essences to bring new life and radiance to the skin for a restorative glow to your complexion. Carefully placing crystals on one’s body alongside a crystal massage promotes optimum energy flow while bringing balance to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self.

Splurge Treatment: For an intimate evening above the clouds that’s unlike anything else in the city, Night Spa, the Hotel’s signature late-night experience, is the perfect date night. Designed for two, Night Spa provides guests with private access to the 57th-floor Spa and pool and a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy a couple's massage. A runway of candles and flowers greets guests as they enter the completely private facility. The evening starts with a relaxing signature 60-minute massage for two on the pool deck, where guests can individually select from Crystal Oil, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy or a Mother-To-Be Massage.

After the massage, toast with a complimentary bottle of champagne overlooking the city lights. Soak in the view and ease into the perfectly heated infinity-edge pool, reserved for this occasion until 1 a.m. Remember the most romantic evening with a dozen Jeff Leatham long-stemmed red roses, and two Four Seasons Signature Spa Robes to take home.
