Style Advice by Betsy Lowther
Soooooo. If this whole “fashion advice columnist” thing doesn’t work out, maybe I could come work for you? You’d thrill your lucky-duck staffers with any of the treatments at haute spa Bliss (W Hotel, 515 15th St. NW; 877-862-5477) — even just spending time in the Zen-like waiting room, munching bite-size brownies while bundled in a fluffy white robe, induces a mental deep breath. I also enjoy the massages at Hela Spa’s sleek, Scandinavian-chic spots (in Georgetown and Chevy Chase, see Helaspa.com), while Elizabeth Arden Red Door offers its standout Stress Melter massage ($220) at nine cushy outposts around the city and suburbs (see Reddoorspas.com). The newly revamped eco-spa Nusta (1129 20th St. NW; 202-530-5712) boasts a pristine downtown outpost and massages starting at just $65. And, for your more homebody-ish helpers, we’d suggest pairing a nice bottle of wine with La Mer’s new hydrating facial kit ($250 for six applications, Cremedelamer.com), a calming combination that we’d bet would help your team players wind down and say ahhhhh.
