Spas
Turn your weekend break into a luxury holiday and indulge yourself at one of the city's day spas where you can be pampered to your heart's delight. Retreat from the stress of urban life at One Spa where you can experience their Cleopatra Baths before moving on to a massage – perhaps Thai, or try the intriguingly named Cowshed at the Scotsman Hotel and invigorate your senses with the innovative Stoned Cow treatment! Then there is the Balmoral Spa which is a personal retreat in the heart of the city and has been voted Scotland's top Day Spa (UK category) in the Conde Nast Traveller Readers' Spa Awards 2008.

Vital Beauty at the Roxburgh Hotel is the place to lose your stress and invest in yourself. Relax in one of their elegant treatment rooms, illuminated only by candle light and let your cares drift away. The Ocean Rooms at the Caledonian Hotel offer a range of marine beauty and spa body treatments that will elevate the senses whilst ensuring you are fabulously relaxed.

Two of the city's spas that are not linked to hotels include Zen Lifestyle which has 2 award winning city centre salons for spa and beauty treatments and Pure Spa, a finalist for the UK day spa of the year 2007. These independent spas are great if you want to rejuvenate and invigorate yourself after a hard day's retail therapy or being the culture vulture.

Don't forget these luscious spas offer his and her treatments, so if you both want to look and feel great for that special night out – there is no better way!
