10 Best Spas in Houston: Luxury and Affordable Options

Nestled within the Houstonian Hotel is one of the most luxurious Spas Houston has to offer. When I visited a couple of months ago, I got the Trellis Custom Massage with a Relaxing Scalp Treatment.

The interior of Trellis spa was so warm and cozy – I immediately relaxed upon entering the building.

The massage I got was relaxing and soothing, and I was able to stretch out some deep muscle tension. The scalp treatment helped restore balance to my hair without being too intrusive.

The Trellis Spa is the largest luxury spa in Texas at over 26,500 square feet.

They have outdoor soaking pools and gardens, an Indoor Reflection Pool, and a scenic treetop dining room that offers health-focused items that are both tasty and light.

This Mediterranean-style retreat is one of Houston’s only Forbes Travel Guide-approved spas. It has state-of-the-art facilities and deluxe facials that are sure to make your visit worth the stay.

GangNam Spa is Houston’s first traditional Korean spa, and it’s not what you would expect.

You take your shoes off at the door and pay for everything with a wristband provided to you upon entry.

Their layout is unique, the center of which is the Jjim-Jil-Bang, a common space where visitors can relax and move between different areas and treatments.

Secluded Topaz Caves, designed to relieve stress and tension, line the side of the Jjim-Jil-Bang.

Other interesting areas include the Himalayan Salt Room, which contains materials designed to help maintain healthy blood pressure.

The Nano Clay Room – a high-tech space that synergizes the benefits of natural clay and radiator heating technology.

The crown jewel of the GangNam Spa is their signature Bul-Ga-Ma. These ultra-heated Korean hot rooms are the only ones of their kind in the entire country.

Naturally released elements and heated air within the stone formations promote rapid detoxification.

GangNam spa is a one-of-a-kind place you don’t want to miss out on.
