March 3rd 2004, St. Michaels, MD - The St. Michaels Harbour Inn & Marina, an extraordinary full service resort situated on the waterfront in the heart of St. Michaels, is opening a Spa in April of 2004.

A new retreat, tucked away on the Inn's third floor beckons through an elegant set of solid wood doors. Upon entering this passageway, the Spa's soothing and meditative atmosphere flows over the guest, much like the water trickling over the slate wall fountain. The effect is instant, you know you have embarked upon a journey to a destination where friendly and professional therapists await to rejuvenate and restore the spirit.

Relax, Rejuvenate & Restore

Separate changing areas have been designed with guest's needs & comfort in mind, aromatherapy steam rooms are available to warm and soften the muscles before services and powerful multi-jet showers will invigorate and awaken the senses following treatments. Floating through the Spa, guests discover a peaceful relaxation lounge where a deep red wall gives a rich glow. In this area cushioned chairs are placed to entice you to stay a while and refreshing teas are plentiful. Spa guests are invited to unwind and re-group before and after their services. For romantics, the "Couples Massage Room" features a color palate of bold mustards, purples and silver with a ceiling draped in soft fabrics, it is both relaxing and sexy. During the ultimate experience of the journey guests are pampered with Facials, Body Treatments and Massage Therapies in treatment rooms that feature vaulted ceilings, earth-tones and recycled wood. The Spa is featuring product lines from both Naturopathica and SkinCeuticals, giving the guest a more personal choice of treatment. Facials will be scheduled by time but not type, allowing the therapist to work with each client, to assess the needs of the skin on that day, therefore giving the best results.

"Adding a Spa to St. Michaels Harbour Inn & Marina was a natural progression" said Lynsey Roper, Spa Director. "Our intimate design will ensure that Spa guests will experience a personalized, high standard of service from their initial contact through to the treatments they receive"
