The Peninsula Spa by ESPA occupies the top two floors of the hotel, high above Chicago's fast-paced streets. Offering an abundance of amenities to complement its holistic spa menu, the 15,000-square-foot spa has eight treatment rooms, three of which can be converted into dual rooms so couples, mother-daughter groups, and best friends can enjoy side-by-side treatments. Designed to be a calming respite from the city's vibrant scene, the urban spa features an indoor aquatic area enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows, affording sweeping views of the city while guests take a dip in the indoor pool or hot tub. Separate men's and women's locker rooms come complete with thermal areas.

Offerings include advanced Spa Ceremonies that are unique to The Peninsula, facials, nail care, waxing treatments, and therapeutic massage, combining Asian, Ayurvedic, and European techniques. Ceremonies such as the Uplifting Mint Experience, exclusive to the Chicago-based Peninsula Spa, begin with a tea ceremony and a fresh ginger foot scrub, followed by ESPA's most advanced massage, and finish with a soothing scalp massage. Guests who reserve a full-day package are served lunch poolside.

Before or after treatments, the spa encourages guests to rest beside the fireplace in the relaxation room, spend time in the eucalyptus-scented steam room, or enjoy light spa dishes. Guests can also lounge on the outdoor sundeck.
