Me, personally, I like to relax when I travel, I want to feel it, feel that I am on vacation. I always try to incorporate some kind of relaxing procedure to my stay. If you get too tired after walking the streets of Beirut, or if you are just like me and like to pamper yourself, you can explore and enjoy a massage at G spa.
G spa is THE spot where you know you will really be treated well. You can enjoy all sorts of procedures, body treatments, facials, scrubs. There is an indoor pool, jacuzzi and steam room, that are usually available for those getting one of the wellness procedures. When you enter, you will find nice ladies waiting for you at the reception, you can come earlier and benefit from jacuzzi, steam room or just relax and have a cup of tea in the relaxation room. The overall atmosphere is calm and zen, with soft background music and light essential oil smell. Or you can do all this after your procedure. You will get a locker, robe, towels and slippers, so don't worry about those.
The prices differ from 20 minutes therapeutic back massage costing 75,000 LBP (ca $50) and can reach up to 315,000 LBP (ca $210) for a wellness ritual. I tried several massages and my favorite is foot reflexology.
Once I took my friend who was visiting me in Beirut there and we really enjoyed half a day in the spa in the middle of this hectic city.
