Where
The retreat
takes place at The
Chrysalis
Inn and Spa in
beautiful Bellingham Washington. The Chrysalis is featured as
one of Washington State's top 40 places for romance, adventure and
gourmet cuisine in Special
Places of
Washington by Mardi and Fred
Nystrom. They describe the Chrysalis as:
"The Inn's
architecture
is very open and Northwest with an Asian influence. The
living room features a wood burning fireplace and expansive bay views.
It opens onto an attached dec that seems to put you within
reach of the San Juan Islands towards the west. As you can imagine, the
sunsets are spectacular."
"Whether you reserve a single room,
double room or
suite, all offer luxurious appointments beginning with a stunning bay
view window seat overlooking sailboat regattas, fishing vessels,
soaring eagles and the San Juan Islands rising out of the
shimmering waters. Furnished with a contemporary
Northwest design, all rooms offer fireplaces, mini bars and two person
soaking tubs (suites have two person jetted tubs). The slate
walk-in showers are a definitive Northwest touch."
"On the softer side, you'll find his'n her robes,
cozy slippers, plus luxurious linens and down comforters. No detail is
overlooked, right down to the aromatherapy soaps,
lotions, and shampoos in your private bath."
A truely amazing experience
you won't want to miss.

waterfront patio. Enjoy sophisticated meals, snacks or late night
desserts at Fino. Be seated at a fireside table, listen to romantic

multi-course meal in the dining room, or a late-night cheese plate with
port in the library. Pamper

60
minute Swedish Massage:
"Rumored to be one of the top 20
luxury
coastal
spas on the West Coast...
From massage and facials, to
body
treatments and hydrotherapy, plus a Vichy shower, steam rooms and a relaxation
area, you will simply emerge anew."
Being someone who has experienced professional massage on more than a
few occasions, I would have to say the Chrysalis was by far the best
experience I have enjoyed. No detail is left out.
From steam rooms and robes, to showers and relaxation
rooms.
The Chrysalis has played host to many people including Hilary
Swank. I have never
felt so pampered and catered to
anywhere
else.
You may also make an appointment for any of the other spa amenaties for
an additional cost at the spa.
