The Post Oak Hotel

Vitality Lounge at the Post Oak Hotel Spa

Through August, couples are invited to experience the rooftop helipad (really!) with the Mind & Unwind Package, which includes a calming meditation and soothing massage. Additionally, every Wednesday this month, the hotel’s spa offers both a 50-minute stone massage for $195 and a 50-minute, deep-cleansing facial for $195, along with a specially priced Dermaplane enhancement for $55.

Milk & Honey

Milk & Honey

Freshen up for the school year with a brow lamination and tint and a lash lift and tint. Students enjoy 15 percent off these services and more Monday through Thursday during August with a student ID. Sisters and moms should go along and try it, too! Another promo: Refer a friend and get 500 bonus points, and your friend gets $25 off their first treatment.

Thompson Hotel Houston

Known as one of the top hotels for wellness recovery, Thompson Houston has tapped Los Angeles-based MedSpa Dripology for a collab in honor of National Wellness Month. At the Dripology IV pop-up this month, guests can give the signature treatments a whirl. Each Friday through Sunday, Thompson Houston will also offer wellness-focused events, classes and lectures including meditation and yoga. Nutritionists, sex therapists and financial wellness experts are all a part of the special lineup.

Trellis Spa at the Houstonian

Trellis Spa soaking pools and cabanas

With a spa appointment, guests can also indulge in the ultimate outdoor hideaway — but don’t worry, you’ll stay cool as a cucumber. The backyard soaking pools include single and double cabanas that can be reserved for before or after your treatment. Semi-private shaded spaces feature ceiling fans, privacy curtains and cushy lounge seating. Included is a bottle of Prosecco, water, a shared appetizer plate and convenient food and beverage service. Don’t forget to try or take home the travel sized Coola organic sunscreen and Natura Bissé C+C Vitamin Splash Spray!
