When I’ve traveled to Boston, I’ve typically planned my itinerary around historical sites, unique neighborhoods, craft breweries, and seasonal events. But Boston is also an excellent place to plan a spa vacation because of the excellent venues around the city that specialize in pampering, rejuvenating, and soothing the mind, body, and soul. One idea is to plan a sightseeing trip combined with a relaxing getaway by staying at a spa hotel in the city. Some “spa hotels” have menus of treatments and services offered by professionals, while others offer relaxing pools, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and healthy food options.
Here are the best spa hotels in Boston, Massachusetts to choose from.
