mySpa

mySpa sits inside the InterContinental Miami at 100 Chopin Plaza, a hotel spa built around a straightforward menu rather than a long list of add-ons. The roster covers eleven treatments spanning massage, facials, body work, nails, waxing and hair and makeup, with the Signature Raindrop Massage as the house specialty. A day pass is available, so non-hotel guests can book in alongside those staying on property.

The space leans on a relaxation lounge, a pool, and ocean or lake views rather than flashy extras, and there's a fitness center on site as well. It's set up for groups, families and couples, which makes it workable for a birthday outing or a joint appointment rather than strictly solo visits. The minimum age for treatments is 13, with prenatal massage restricted to guests who are at least 13 weeks along.

Hours run 10am to 6pm most days, stretching to 7pm on Saturdays. Spa guests get validated parking for up to four hours, which matters given the downtown Miami location. A 20% service charge is added to treatments, and gift cards are sold if you're booking for someone else. Appointments go through the spa directly by phone or email rather than a public online booking system.

This is a mid-to-upscale hotel spa experience: polished, service-driven, and priced accordingly, but without pretensions about it. The day-pass access means it functions as a destination on its own, not just an amenity for overnight guests.
