Spa living might not get any more top-notch than this: roam the spa resort in a plush white bathrobe (waiting in your room) before dipping into the 37.5°C (100°F) sulfurous thermal pools. Seemingly every possible health and beauty treatment is available. Sleek elegance pervades public and private rooms: tall windows have floor-to-ceiling draperies in rich colors like steel blue and gray or burnt umber and sage; floors are polished wood. Eclectic furniture includes some sleigh-shaped benches and oval night tables. You can opt for half or full board to complete the experience. Pros: Luxurious setting, excellent service, wide range of treaments. Cons: On the pricey side, aseptic atmosphere.
