We enjoyed our facials, which were relaxing and quite nice. We realized at the time that we would not only be paying for our room upgrade, but for the additional facial, since the $100 gift card would be for only one 1 hr. We were told upon making our spa reservations to bring our bathing suits, since our "Stay-cation" package included use of the whirlpool. The room rate of $179.00 (not including the $35 upgrade) was put on our credit card at this time. We loved the upgraded room, which had the one fireplace in the establishment and was much larger and comfortable. The regular room was no more than one you would see at a Day's Inn. We ended up with an upgrade on our room for $35.00. At the time of booking, we showed our gift card to the receptionist at the hotel desk and then went on to the booking desk at the spa entrance. and had lunch there and booked our room and spa facials. Although this treatment includes a pedicure, the real treat begins with a lemongrass essential oil soak bath, which is followed by a fresh, hot banana leaf foot wrap and an invigorating peppermint oil massage to break up the stiffness in your step.My daughter purchased a $100.00 gift card for us, and we decided to use it for an anniversary get-away, although we live only 30 minutes away from Aurora. Try this: Take pressure off your feet with the Sukapao Thai Foot Ritual ($85). “Hot stones feel great, but with this you can use more pressure, because it’s an herb bag,” says aesthetic director Patricia Bilek. You’ll find Old World techniques such as the 80-minute Thai Massage ($175), which uses small, herb-filled heated poultices to massage organic nutrients directly into the body and release tension.
Here the focus is on holistic wellness services such as the Sawan ($210), a moisturizing body scrub coupled with a wrap that uses pineapple and tamarind extracts to revitalize your skin before a relaxing lemongrass essential oil massage. With seven stone fireplaces, marble statues throughout and an underground Finnish grotto with a whirlpool, steam cave and sauna, Mario’s feels like you’re visiting an ethereal, European-style retreat.
Stepping into Mario’s International Spa in Aurora is like being transported across the globe. This Aurora spa is a transformative experience.ĭon’t be fooled by the simple facade of this 1842 Victorian.
