BEST MEMPHIS HOTEL SPA
FEATHERS SPA at THE PEABODY
149 Union Ave, Memphis
The Peabody’s resort-style luxury Feathers Spa (named for the hotel’s legendary resident ducks) offers a full menu of spa and salon treatments, including massage, body therapies (including wraps and scrubs), skin care (facials and enhancements), wax treatments, manicures and pedicures, hair styling, and make-up artistry. The Peabody Athletic Club is a Certified Nautilus Training Center with Grecian-style indoor heated swimming pool and whirlpool spa. Both are located on the hotel’s lower level.
Candidly, it’s one of the few Memphis Hotels which actually has a dedicated spa instead of in-room massage treatments called “spa services.” Feathers Spa is on the basement level so expect it to be somewhat dimly lighted and not bright or airy, but it’s very nice to be able to come down from your room (or cocktail lounge as is more often the case), get a massage, manicure and pedicure, and hit the town. It’s perfect for that!
BEST MEMPHIS MEDICAL SPA
EDEN SPA & LASER
1044 Brookfield Rd, Memphis
Medical Director Dr. Neumon Goshorn and a team of registered nurses and medical estheticians offer a complete menu of skin and body wellness, including medical spa treatments, Botox® and dermal fillers, laser hair removal, skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, massage therapy, CoolSculpting, lash extension and make-up artistry. Consultations are complimentary, so make it a point to visit this airy, bright and inviting medi-spa.

BEST MEMPHIS SALON SPA
Pavo Aveda Salon Spa Midtown
2157 Central Avenue, Memphis
Pavo offers it all. Cutting edge hair cuts, colors and style, skin care facials, AVEDA body and skin products, make-up artistry, manicures and pedicures, massage, body wraps and scrubs, and waxing, by a talented team of professionals. Our readers tell us this newest location of the popular two-location Pavo Salons is home to the best stylists and aestheticians in the city.
I appreciate the reviewer’s honesty, here. Truthfully, Memphis is a really “average” experience for day spas. The Peabody’s spa is nice as an amenity, but even so, it just doesn’t have the lux, over-the-top experiences some other cities do, and I visit many. They don’t *have* to be over-the-top, but it would be nice to have a true indulgence now and again. All of these choices are pretty darn good in a city where I’ve yet to be really wowed.
