Dunton Hot Springs
Colorado

Beautifully located in the Dunton Hot Springs, this resort is what I call “any occasion” — overnight stay, honeymoon, yoga retreats, even fly fishing schools! Cabins are each uniquely built, no two are the same; or try a tee pee in the spring and summer months…spa for those who want extreme relaxation. Who could ask for more? Ultimate rustic, luxury retreat. Rates: 250-425 USD per person.

Gentlemen’s Tonic
Mayfair, London, UK

One-stop grooming and lifestyle pit-stop for guys on the go; they offer everything from classic hair-cuts to pampering hand and body treatments. Reassuringly masculine and high-tech: wood, leather and marble are combined with the latest music consoles and LCD screens in each of the private haircutting stations and treatment rooms; understated and effective. A trusted male friend recently tried “The Traveler” head to toe massage after a long-haul flight and felt unbelievably relaxed and rejuvenated. Girls: Book your man in for one of the cheekily named indulgence packages- anyone for a “Hemingway” (Bloody Mary, aromatherapy facial and massage) or a “Valentino” (hand and foot treatment, facial and eye treatment)?! Suits you sir…

Mandarin Oriental Spa
Columbus Circle (Time Warner Center)
NYC, NY

What feels like you are riding to the sky on the elevator, you step off (35th floor) and turn left to enter their oh-my-wowsers over the top 14,500 sq. ft. spa-extraordinaire. (yup, I was impressed) I was lucky enough to have experienced the ‘Time Ritual’ treatment, a 2 1/2 hour session with Jessica (tops) who custom-designed the treatment as per my needs and taste. She mixed different styles of massage, scrubs, masks, stretching, steaming, wrapping…it was endless bliss that unfortunately had to come to an end! The next day I returned to swim laps in their 75 ft. slick pool over-looking the city and then shopped in the enormous Whole Foods Market downstairs. As you can see, I rate this place: Fabulous. Open 7 days a week 9am-9pm. Let’s just say, expensive…
