Tucked inside Baltimore’s most gracious grande dame, The Ivy Hotel—recently named one of TripAdvisor's top five luxury hotels in the U.S.—lies a hidden gem: an intimate, serene spa that seems to lower your resting heart rate the moment you step inside. (Not scientifically verified, but ask anyone who’s spent five minutes here.)
With just a handful of treatment rooms, the Spa at The Ivy feels like a well-kept secret, not a typical wellness center. No eucalyptus-scented labyrinths or hydro-ritual corridors—just genuine care, offered quietly. You’re welcomed with warmth, perhaps by Jazz, our artist-in-residence, who greets guests at the front desk, and ushered into calm by therapists whose intuition matches their expertise.
Every product we use is high-end, all-natural, and ethically sourced. Your skin will glow—and so will your conscience.
A Few Highlights:
The Relaxation Room: Four cloud-white swivel chairs overlook the ivy-draped courtyard and a slice of the Baltimore skyline. Sip herbal tea, savor a delicate bite from Magdalena, and feel the world’s pace slow around you.
Spa Room Three: Our romantic couples’ retreat, complete with a floor-to-ceiling mural of distant islands and trees. Should you choose to keep your eyes open during a massage (a bold but rewarding decision), it’s a lovely place to let your mind wander.
Brandy, the Brains Behind the Bliss. Our spa director is part healer, visionary, and design whisperer. She constantly refines and elevates—she’s the Marie Kondo of spa serenity.
Jazz, the Artist. When not welcoming guests, she creates beauty in her studio. Her hand-dyed textiles—some infused with marigold petals—will soon grace the spa’s tranquil walls.
And yes, the Spa is open to the public by appointment. Even if you’re not staying at The Ivy, you’re welcome to experience this quiet sanctuary. Hotel guests need only mention it to the concierge to have their spa dreams scheduled.
A Little Extra Magic To celebrate The Ivy Hotel’s 10th anniversary, we’re launching a Golden Ticket Giveaway. This week, a special gift from our spa—that turns Tuesday into Sunday morning—will be hidden in a special location around Baltimore. Keep an eye on our Instagram Stories on Friday for clues on where and when to find it. One lucky winner will leave with the goods and a luminous glow.
To sum up, it’s quiet here, but it’s beautiful. You’ll leave hydrated, exfoliated, and gently convinced that Baltimore is American travel's best secret.
