Massage for mother/teen in DC?

[Anonymous]

My DD desperately wants a massage for her 17th bday. I would as well. She has back issues and is hoping they can work on that. I have no issues but would love a relaxing massage. I don’t want to take my daughter to anyplace seedy. Anyone have a suggestion? Would love to know what the cost is for something like this, the proper cost for a good 30-45 min massage.

That’s a short massage. Most are 50 minutes min. You don’t want to go to a place that charges by the minute. What area are you looking?

My mom and I enjoy trying different spas when she visits. Recently we’ve gotten massages at Hotel Washington, the Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons. There are also nice spas at Mandarin Oriental and Trump International. For a 60-minute massage at these places, you are looking at ~$200 per person.

There are definitely less expensive places for $100-150 per person that feel less “luxe” but get the job done. I’ve had good experiences at Unwind in Georgetown and Origins Thai Spa in Arlington.

I am this poster and just wanted to agree with the PP that most of these places will have a minimum 50-minute massage. 30 minutes would be VERY fast.

I know you said DC but I would consider The Spa at the Hotel at UMD. They have great service, nice amenities- you can even use their indoor pool and gym before a service if you want. And they have this relaxation lounge that is incredible. You can get the fluffy robe experience, validated parking, first class treatment without the same expense as one of the higher end spas in DC. It’s more expensive than massage envy, but well worth it in my opinion.

NP - but I live close to CP and I never knew there was a spa at that hotel. Looks fantastic!

Is this the former Elizabeth Arden that opened in CP but then the chain went out of business?
