Four seasons seattle manual#
Joanna then inspected my skin and performed a manual extraction. Joanna then pre-cleansed my skin using a milk containing honey before switching to a strawberry cleanser to rid the pores of any dirt, remaining make-up or sun-cream. The treatment began with hot steam being directed onto my face to open the pores. Joanna then talked me through the treatment which includes microdermabrasion, glycolic peel, a collagen mask and oxygen blast. After enquiring about my skin complaints/niggles (ageing, dehydration), Joanna left the room so that I could de-robe and get comfortable on the warm treatment bed, lying face up. My therapist, Joanna, met me in the spa lounge, with its squishy cream armchairs and flickering candles, and led me to a calming treatment room. We tried the 1st Avenue Facial (80 minutes, £283). The whole area becomes fairy lit at night and is a charming place to sit by the fire, take an evening dip or enjoy a glass of wine while drinking in the views. Our afternoon cooling off in the pool after a day traipsing around the city, beer in hand, view in front, was nothing short of delightful. Outside is an impressive 12-metre heated infinity pool surrounded by brown rattan loungers and lime green umbrellas, a hot tub seating at least eight people, a round fire pit with six armchairs and a bar serving drinks and snacks. Help yourself to a fresh white towel and a glass of lemon-infused iced water on the way out. Nip into a private room to change then primp and preen by the double sinks, which are handsomely clad in cream marble – you’ll find brand new hairbrushes, Tampax, hair straighteners, powerful hairdryers and cotton wool here, ensuring you’ll want for nothing. In the changing rooms you will find a large round steam room clad in blue (accommodating 10), hot sauna and showers behind frosted green doors. Inside you’ll find several spacious treatment rooms, a small shop and a relaxation lounge.
You’ll find The Spa on the third floor – walk down one flights of steps from the gym or take the lift up from the lobby. We returned to our room each day to find delectable treats: beautifully crafted chocolates here, fresh crunchy green apples there. The hotel has 147 rooms and suites our Seattle View Double room was spacious yet cosy with two double beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, an oversized bathroom with a bath so deep the water dances on your shoulders and a huge walk-in shower containing L’Occitaine products. Each day the hotel puts on a little sweet treat for guests to help themselves to – we tucked into tiny cakes designed to look like ice-cream cones and glasses of homemade lemonade on arrival. Walk through the sliding glass doors to a welcoming lobby with statement fireplace to the right and desks manned by smiley staff in front. The grand Four Seasons Hotel sits in an enviable location overlooking Elliot Bay and the Giant Wheel on Seattle’s iconic waterfront.
