Speaking of massages, they’re the most highlight-worthy service from this spa, featuring different types like prenatal, performance, and stress relief. Our favourite is the re-energising therapy, which uses Japanese foot massage to relieve muscle tension.
St. Regis is also known for offering some of the most elegant hotel rooms! With gigantic windows overlooking the Toronto skyline, plush beds, en-suite bathtubs, flat-screen TVs, and more, it’s hard not to get attached to these suites.

Their facials feel just as amazing, too, with them using tools to shape the cheekbones on top of the fancy serums that can alleviate signs of aging. After getting pampered, you can return to your suite and experience the best sleep of your life!

The hotel also houses Kalani Spa, which offers some of Downtown Toronto’s most affordable wellness services. One of their best offerings is the hot stone massage, which is paired with aromatherapy, allowing for deeper relaxation.

They also feature an in-house spa that offers massages and facials to make your stay even more lavish and relaxing. Their talented registered massage therapists are masters at kneading, whether deep tissue massage or Swedish massage.
If you’re one to find massages too harsh, however, we recommend opting for their Reiki treatment. This involves light hand movements from the masseuse, offering a more relaxing and soothing experience.

To take relaxation to the next level, stop by Miraj Hammam Spa for its tranquil space and a wide array of treatments inspired by the Middle East. The main highlight here is the hammam, a steam chamber that allows guests to be cleansed and relaxed.
We also love their plant-based facials, which have been proven and tested to promote youthful skin! Also, the overall process offers a sense of relaxation that can’t be replicated, especially when paired with one of their massages!

Windsor Arms features one of the most charming designs in any hotel we’ve seen in Toronto. It was built in 1927, and although it was rebuilt in 1999, the aesthetic of the Roaring Twenties is retained, from the exterior brick walls to the massive chandelier in the lobby..
We also love how they offer various spa facilities like their indoor swimming pool and salt cave. The former is great for cooling down and relaxing at your own pace, while the latter promotes respiratory health through halotherapy.
The spa doesn’t fall short on pampering packages either! For instance, they offer a pamper and unwind set that consists of a hot stone massage, an aroma salt glow treatment, a facial, and a manicure!
Pro tip:
If you’re getting pampered to celebrate something special, make a quick stopover at the Dessert Lady Cafe & Bakery for some creative round cakes! It’s also one of the best places to get coffee in the area, so if you have a detailed itinerary coming up, check it out!
