The Spa at Loews Coral Gables

The Spa at Loews Coral Gables sits on the eighth floor of the hotel, next to a fitness studio with Peloton bikes, Technogym cardio machines, free weights and a stretching area with mats and foam rollers. The spa itself is small, with just two treatment rooms, but the menu covers body therapies, facials, hair and nail services, pulling from brands like Privai, Botanika Life, Dr. Dennis Gross and Luxury Therapeutics. A boutique on site sells wellness and beauty products if something on the menu catches your eye.

This is a hotel amenity rather than a destination day spa — access is limited to hotel guests, and there's no day-pass option for outside visitors. Couples treatments are available, which along with the compact layout makes it suited to pairs or small groups rather than a crowd. Groups of six or more get a complimentary bottle of Champagne, and the spa also handles bridal and wedding prep packages, from hair and makeup to manicures.

Hours run 10am to 6pm every day for spa and salon appointments, while the adjacent fitness studio stays open 24 hours for guests. Staff includes licensed aestheticians, massage therapists, nail technicians, hair stylists and fitness instructors. Booking ahead is recommended given the limited number of treatment rooms — reach the spa by phone, email, or through the hotel's online booking system.
