milk + honey | The Loren

milk + honey at The Loren sits beside The Loren Hotel on West Riverside Drive, steps from Lady Bird Lake and Austin's waterfront trail system. It's a full-service day spa and medspa combined, open daily from 8am to 9pm, and welcomes both hotel guests and walk-in locals from around Downtown, South Lamar and Zilker.

The menu covers massage (signature from $165, deep tissue and sports massage from $180), facials (signature from $165, a collagen-boosting option at $210, and a Hydrafacial at $200), waxing and brow services, plus a full medspa line of injectables, dermal fillers, microneedling and laser treatments run by mid-level practitioners under a medical director. New medspa guests start with a complimentary consultation, which can sometimes lead to same-day treatment.

Facilities include a relaxation lounge, locker rooms with showers, and a lobby area; the spa entrance is under the covered breezeway facing Riverside Drive and South Lamar Boulevard. Guests get complimentary valet parking through the hotel for the length of their appointment, with street parking on Lee Barton Drive as a backup. Reservations are recommended and can be made online, through the milk + honey app, or by phone, though walk-ins are accepted depending on availability. With seven treatments in total and a moderate price tier, it's positioned as an easy pre- or post-walk stop for massage or facial work rather than a day-pass destination, since day passes aren't offered here.
