Best Spas in Hudson

"Bota Bota might be Montréal’s most famous spa, and for good reason: it’s an actual boat, anchored in the St. Lawrence, with water views from every imaginable angle. You can enjoy the full roster of spa treatments here – massages, body treatments and more – and, as locals know, you can even invest in a membership that grants regular access to the boat’s indoor and outdoor pools. The greatest outdoor experience, though, is a swimming platform perched above the chilly waters of the St. Lawrence."

"This historical Old Port river ferry-turned-spa is also home to a killer resident restaurant that offers healthy, seasonal terroir menus featuring local Quebec ingredients. A summertime meal in the open air on the water’s edge is relaxing, but throw in a water circuit bath, full scrub and a Swedish massage and even the most hellish of work weeks will melt into memory."

"Inspired by the age-old tradition of public baths, Scandinave Spa Vieux-Montréal is a veritable Eden in the heart of Old Montreal. A contemporary and authentic environment, the spa promotes privacy, ultimate relaxation in silence for a feeling of absolute escape. Admission: Sunday to Friday: $60 Saturday: $65 (Bathrobe, towels, sandals, padlock and tasting of organic herbal teas and fresh fruit included)"

"A post shared by Förena Cité Thermale (@forena_cite_thermale). Saint-Bruno’s gorgeous thermal spa is open for the summer season, and it’s calling you to release all those inner toxins.

Outdoor whirlpool, temperate and ice baths, Finnish saunas, eucalyptus steam bath, thermal and Nordic waterfalls, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas with fireplace."

"Strom Spa’s philosophy is to combine the Nordic spa experience with urban living. Only minutes away from Montreal’s city centre, this Nun’s Island spa offers a myriad of baths at different temperatures. They believe in the benefits of plunging into hot and cold baths to release toxins and promote relaxation of the body and soul."

"À quelques minutes du centre-ville, l’établissement offre une pause mieux-être avec, entre autres, ses bains à remous en plein air, ses bains de vapeur aux huiles essentielles, son espace foyer et son quai installé sur le lac des Battures. Mention d’honneur à la boutique et aux jolies trouvailles qu’on y fait."

Relax in the comfortable lounge areas or enjoy a tea snuggled in an armchair in the cinema-lounge."

"Part of the offerings at the Place d'Armes Hotel, this health and wellness spa’s main attraction is a full hammam bath filled with eucalyptus vapors (plus a selection of teas to enjoy after you sweat out those toxins). A total of ten facial and body treatments are also available in conjunction with the bath, from massage packages to exfoliations and facial treatments. If you found yourself at this hotel for a staycation with a date or significant other, grab one of their couples’ packages to clean up after getting down and dirty."

"On the third floor of Hôtel Place d’Armes you’ll find Rainspa, a spectacular, 2,500-square-foot space dedicated to everything from manicures to LED treatments. Unlike many of Montréal’s other spas, which borrow from the Nordic tradition of saunas, spas and overall wellness, Rainspa uses Morocco and Turkey for inspiration. In the sprawling hammam, a Turkish steam room, visitors can benefit from the steam treatment, which promotes the elimination of toxins, improved blood flow and better respiration."

"Located in the chic Place D'Armes Hotel in the Old Port, Rainspa distinguises itself with a complete range of aesthetic and paramedical treatments, while their team of dedicated experts make sure you find true relaxation."

"This Old Montreal hotel’s giving other spas in its neighborhood a run for its money with its combination of thermal circuits, massages and body treatments with full package experiences like its bed filled with warm quartz sand where you receive acupuncture and body massages (not to mention the holistic Kansa Wand foot massages!). Even if you’re looking to keep it cheap, the range of options in the thermal circuit—salt, rain, sauna, steam, herbal and ice therapies—goes for a song at $60 (or $45 if you booked a stay at the William Gray Hotel)."

"The Hotel William Gray has a reputation in Montréal as one of the most elegant and refined accommodations, and its spa is no exception. The hotel occupies two buildings, both of which date back to the 18th century. The spa itself is an extension of the hotel’s luxury services."

"First and foremost a gym and health centre in a refurbished church, this Plateau-based address also features a spa that makes for the ideal post-workout session. There’s a hot and cold spa that’s available year-round—who doesn’t want a hot tub in the winter?. —alongside massage services that range from Shiatsu to sport-centric methods that will either get back up on your feet or relaxed and down for the count."

"Tran Cantine is a newish small Vietnamese restaurant that opened in June 2017 on rue Notre-Dame Ouest at the corner of rue Courcelle. The Vietnamese menu is not only excellent but the prices are very reasonable. This is homemade cuisine from the broths to the marinades."

"One of the hippest restaurants to recently debut, SeaSalt & Ceviche Bar opened with mad hype in Montreal’s old port. This probably explains why it gets so busy. Waitstaff might be a little slow and you might wait some time because the kitchen isn’t insanely huge, but it’s worth it."

"The Terrasse Saint-Ambroise sits on the bank of the Lachine Canal in Saint-Henri, southwest of Downtown Montreal’s core and acts primarily as a showcase for the McAuslan Brewery to which it’s attached. The mood is low key and the lazy canal beside it is the perfect backdrop for a few relaxing pints. For the peckish, the terrasse serves up classic bar food and wood-fired oven baked pizza Thursdays through Sundays."

"A post shared by Terrasse St-Ambroise 🍻 (@terrasse_stambroise) on May 6, 2018 at 9:17am PDT. McAuslan’s Terrasse St-Ambroise is an extremely popular option when the weather is nice. The open-air craft brewery serves up classic BBQ grub and a wide selection of beer."

"In the space formerly inhabited by Phillips Lounge, restaurant Jatoba welcomes its guests into a truly enchanting setting. For those who are okay with handing over their whole wallet for a meal, this address is sure to impress. The cornerstone of the Jatoba experience is the iconic seafood platter – chef Olivier Vigneault’s specialty."

"Refusing to be locked into one type of Asian cuisine, Jatoba does a range of plates from chicken curry with coconut milk to a selection of dumplings. Also, check out that lovely terrasse."

"If you find yourself humming "Getting to Know You" as you explore Mont-Royal Cemetery's 165 acres, blame it on the graveyard's most famous…"

"Dieppe Park in Montreal is one of the best in Montreal for just how magical it is. This park is set on a peninsula and is also located next to the admirable residential building built for Expo 67, Habitat 67. Dieppe gives visitors a sense of escape from the city as well as providing an excellent backdrop of Old Port and downtown Montreal."
