Bougie on a budget: Conrad Spa's sneaky good deal

Where we're going: The Conrad. One of downtown's most expensive hotels probably isn't the first place you think of for a budget experience, but their spa is a sneaky good deal.

• Book any treatment and you get access to the pool, hot tub, dry sauna, steam room and relaxation room for the day — before and after your appointment.
• You can even order lunch to be delivered poolside while you hang out in the provided hotel robes and slippers.

💭 My thought bubble: I did this with a group for a friend's birthday a few months ago, and it was absolutely worth it.

• While the treatment prices are on the high end — massages and facials start at $185, manis and pedis start at $75 — the experience is wonderful and you're absolutely getting way more bang for your buck than anywhere else if you plan well and make a day of it.
