ST. THOMAS SIGNATURE BODY TREATMENT
Spa-goers at The Augustine Spa (Prague), housed in the 101-
room hotel that was the site of the 13th-century Augustinian
St. Thomas Monastery, can raise a glass to the hotel’s heritage
with the St. Thomas Signature Body Treatment ($208, 90
minutes). Using a secret recipe concocted by local monks, this
service combines organic hops, St. Thomas dark beer, and sea
salts. Following a soothing footbath, the session begins with a
rubdown using a blend of Himalayan salts and hops flowers to
remove dead skin cells. The mixture is removed with a soothing rinse of St. Thomas beer, and a relaxing scalp and full-body
massage concludes the treatment. Spa-goers feel relaxed,
refreshed, and ready to cheer to the benefits of the brew.—J.K.
PREMIER CRU TREATMENT
Vino-loving spa-goers will have much to toast to thanks to the Premier
Cru Treatment ($350, 1 hour 50 minutes) at Caudalíe Vinotherapie
Spa at The Plaza (New York City). The lavish treatment celebrates
the launch of Premier Cru, Caudalíe’s powerhouse cream that is
inspired by Bordeaux’s finest wines. The rejuvenating treatment
begins with the placing of warm rice pillows on the client’s knees and
stomach followed by a calming massage. After the head, neck, and
shoulders are massaged, the face is cleansed before being treated
to a sculpting massage and a warm thermal mask, which help the
active ingredients in the Premier Cru cream better penetrate the
skin. A purifying mask also helps leave the skin looking radiant. For
