minneapolis spas
 

looking for a hotel spa or a good day spa (not one of those quickie types in a mall)- traveling in Aug 2007. Any suggestions from the cyber world?

Here are some suggestions although I live in Mpls. and haven't tried any (usually do this on vacation):

Downtown:
<b>Premier Spa</b> is located within Macy's and offers premier services, such as Hot ... pedicures, Marine wraps, Body Bronzer, back facials, and luxury spa packages. 700 Nicollet Mall

<b>JuutSalaon Spa</b>hydrotherm massage, Juut spa facials, eye zone treatments, body wraps

I didn't mean to post yet, wasn't finished....

I live in NJ but I went to Minneapolis for a wedding. I took the opportunity to book a massage at the Juut spa and found it to be wonderful. My cousins had facials and pedicures.

all of us were very happy.

<b>Juut</b> 651 Nicollet Mall. Also in Upton at Hennepin &amp; Lake.

Edina/50th &amp; France:
<b>SpalonMontage</b>This place is popular. body polishes, rain massage, revitalizing baths, and a rebalancing sea foam experience. Plus facials, waxing, and men's care, among other treatments.

jbass - this question is for you (since you live there). I am trying to keep the cost low key and we are debating between 2 hotels (we have never stayed in either of these chains before - but what the heck). Super 8 on Wayzata Blvd, Golden Valley and the Wingate on Helena in Oakdale. Are those area in relative okay neighborhoods? is there a preference of one over the other. We are going to uptown Min. and to Stillwater. I know one is closer than the other but thats fine. We wanted to stay downtown but couldn't find a moderate priced hotel that got a good review. Plus the cost of parking. Unless you know of one?
thanks

<b>Wingate Oakdale</b>. I suspect this place is newer but the location is boring-just off I694; the world of franchises. Although if you are going to Stillwater often-much more convenient.

<b>Super8-Golden Valley</b>-not sure of the age of this one (although says recently renovated). I'd prefer this location; much closer to downtown Mpls.; Uptown; Wayzata-which has fun bars on Lake Minnetonka. A little less isolated.

Either location is fine. Downtown-not sure of your budget, but here are some recommendations.

Doubletree Guest Suites-11th&amp;LaSalle-great location.

Best Western The Normandy Inn &amp; Suites-405 S 8th St. Location good; has been around awhile so not sure of updating.

Any of the Marriott Residence Inns-downtown-ALL newer and locations are fine; a couple more on the periphery. (Depends what time of year and how much walking you want to do). :)

thank JBASS for all your info. I really appreciate it.
