The resort’s Spa Grand Traverse offers more than 60 treatments, including massage, hydrotherapy, body therapies and skincare, in a tranquil setting inspired by Michigan’s superb four-season beauty. The 7,000-square-foot facility occupies two floors, housing a full range of amenities – 23 treatment rooms, a salon and boutique to complete with spa experience. The resort’s health club is adjacent to the spa, welcoming guests to wander over and use the mineral pools, hot tubs, saunas and exercise rooms following a treatment.
The Spa Grand Traverse Body Renewal is the spa’s signature treatment; this ritual is a combination of an aromatherapy soak fused with indigenous wild birch and wintergreen, a hot stone massage, warm linen wrap and neck, scalp and face massage.
