Verbena Spa sits inside the Austin Proper Hotel downtown, a few blocks from the city center. It's built around a menu of 15 treatments, heavy on facials and massage, with a recovery room that pairs a cold plunge with a dry sauna and red light therapy for anyone wanting more than a straightforward treatment.

The signature offering is Drain & Reset, a lymphatic drainage treatment, and the facial lineup leans technical: options like the OxyLight Facial and TheraFace Pro Facial combine device-based modalities (microcurrent, LED, percussive therapy) with skincare lines such as Monastery and Natura Bisse. Massage choices range from a customizable Proper Massage to a tequila-themed ritual built around agave-based oils and a palo santo close. There's also a spa lounge and wellness bar on site.

This isn't a drop-in day-pass spa — appointments are required, and while hotel guests get a dedicated extension to call, the spa itself is open to outside bookings too. Groups of five or more can reserve the full spa, including private access to the lounge and wellness bar, for bridal parties or similar events; pricing for that is handled case by case.

Hours run daily from 9am to 6pm, with advanced bookings accepted until 8:30pm. Given the facial and massage prices typical of an upscale hotel spa (price tier 3), expect this to sit toward the higher end of what Austin spas charge, though the site doesn't post a price list, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm costs for a specific treatment.
