Book Your Bliss!

For those of you spa-goers fortunate enough to set foot in New York’s Bliss 49 Spa, I know you’ll agree when I say that it’s complete and total Heaven on Earth (or technically Lexington Ave., but you get my point)! The soothing and sleek décor, the eternally calming cerulean blue, teal, and white color scheme, the wonderfully witty product names (Hello – Slim City Set?!?!), and we haven’t even gotten to the incredible effectiveness of the Bliss products and services yet!

Well ladies, you can cancel your train ticket to the Big Apple, because Bliss has come to DC! The W Hotel has found a new home in the nation’s capital and settled in the old Hotel Washington building just off 15th Street, NW and the Bliss Spa (all three floors of it) has come with!

The spa offers those bliss-seekers looking to be trimmed, toned, waxed, or relaxed a lavish laundry list of services to include a nail lounge, massage and facial treatments, and please let’s not forget some of the signature Bliss services like the Best of Skintentions facial or perhaps the Hangover Herbie. Now tell me you haven’t thought about the need for such after a Thursday night in Adams Morgan. Furthermore, while being pampered, you’ll also be wined and dined as you choose from your selection of Bliss spa snacks – they have brownies. As if you weren’t already sold....

In addition to the saunas, steam rooms, and a Bliss product sampling sink, the spa gurus at Bliss have incorporated little touches of DC throughout, as service rooms are decked out with texturized cherry blossom wall coverings or you can head to the W’s all-the-rage rooftop bar pre or post Bliss to scope out the DC skyline. And make a note to stop by the retail salon where you can pick up your favorite Bliss must haves.

May I highly recommend the Fabulous Foaming Face Wash?! It’s hands down the best and most versatile face wash I’ve ever used. The ever-so-soft exfoliating beads do just the trick in scruffing off the dead skin cells without the harshness of many exfoliants and the chamomile, rose hips, and passion flower leave your skin feeling uber-invigorated. Scared of commitment? Try their Bliss Tried + Blue Travel Kit. $10 says you go back for the big bottle before the end of the month. I’ve recommended this face wash (appropriately named “Fabulous”) to two of my good friends, both of which have vastly different skin needs than me, and we’re all still raving.

So if you’re looking for a spa day with the girls or perhaps a stay-cation in DC, check out the Bliss Spa at the W Hotel. Because really, who’s not looking for Bliss?
