Victoria Spa

Frommer's Review

I'm a longtime massage fan, and one of the best I've ever had was at the Victoria Spa, which is located on the third floor of the InterContinental Hotel. Decorated in an elaborate style that veers from the classical to the baroque, this spa is wrapped around an indoor pool and lounge. The woman behind the spa is Victoria Sutherland, and you'll find her daily at her pride and joy. The Victoria Spa is famous for its luxurious pedicures, which involve a hot-milk or herbal foot bath, salt scrub, and massage -- but in my opinion, all of the treatments, from facials to body therapies, meet the same standard of excellence. The Rose Massage is a sensual treat: Smell the fragrance of roses in the air, lie down on a (massage) bed of velvety rose petals, and get massaged with rose-infused oil. By the time you stroll out it's impossible to look at the world without rose-colored glasses.
