I went for a custom facial ($150 for 50 minutes), which was soothing and gentle, blessedly free of up-selling, and even educational. Besides a snug relaxation room, there’s a steam room, sauna, pool, and fitness center clients can use. Spa date and shopping or movie? That’s possible, too. Perhaps the best part of this earth-toned spa is its location, connected to Tysons Galleria. Sherri Dalphonse The Ritz-Carlton Spa Tysons Corner Good to know: Watch for deals my 50-minute massage, normally $155, was $105 thanks to a Travelzoo voucher that included a glass of Prosecco. Afterward, you can extend the relaxed vibe over a drink or a meal at one of the resort’s bars or restaurants, or by visiting nearby vineyards. (I can vouch for Callie Dingee.) There’s a small but inviting hot tub in the well-appointed locker room, as well as steam and sauna. The massages were similarly transportive. In fact, on a recent visit, I saw fellow spa-goers doing just that-including one lost in a book in the relaxation lounge. This spacious spa is very much a place where you could happily spend a few hours. Anna Spiegel Spa Minérale at Lansdowne Resort

Good to know: Frequent Travelzoo deals include 35-percent discounts on treatments (for example, $119 for a 50-minute massage) and valet parking. So if it’s privacy you seek, especially at the indoor pool, consider going at off-peak times or, if money is no object, booking an after-hours couples package-a mere $850 gets a massage for two and exclusive use of the pool. Unfortunately, the activity flows over to the saltwater pool, Jacuzzi, and locker rooms-all shared with hotel guests and their kids.

(Gratis bubbly is offered regularly in the lovely relaxation room.) Yogis can book Sunday sessions on the stunning rooftop followed by brunch and bottomless mimosas ($60). A lengthy menu includes such treatments as “sleep-encouraging” massages, Icelandic moonflower scrubs, and happy-hour manicures that include a cocktail and 15-percent discount at the handsome Kingbird Bar.

There’s a lot going on at the swanky Argentta. True spas, with saunas, steam rooms, and a whole lot more, these are places you wouldn’t mind building a day around.
