Best Spas in Bull Run

"The original Four Seasons in the US, opened in the last days of the Carter administration, is as upscale as ever. The somewhat nondescript red brick façade belies lavish interiors, impeccable service, and a clientele of local and international political elites who come to wine, dine and recline in five star comfort."

"Transport yourself to a resort-like oasis at the Four Seasons Washington D.C. with its private fitness club and spa, along with luxuriously decorated rooms. Stay at the Georgetown Suite with Terrace for your private terrace area that boasts a lounge and dining set."

"This spa is an exquisite oasis of holistic therapy for the body, mind and spirit, featuring eight treatment rooms, zen relaxation rooms, a dedicated beauty suite, heated indoor lap pool and sundeck overlooking the Washington Marina. Oak floors, light sycamore walls and air suffused with the fragrance of aromatherapy candles lend the spa an air of pure tranquility. Personal training and private yoga sessions are also available upon request."

"The 10,500 sq ft spa at Mandarin Oriental in DC is amongst the most luxurious spas in the area. Known for its various amenities and a pool room that gives you the perfect view of the Washington Channel, this spa indulges you from the minute you walk in. Guests are treated to a peaceful ambience at the reception, thanks to the sycamore walls and scented candles."

"This elegant, family-friendly hotel with waterfront views boasts arguably the best spa in Washington. Comfortable rooms have a luxury residential ambiance and Asian touches that reflect the Mandarin Oriental's Hong Kong heritage. It's a short walk to DC's revitalised Southwest Waterfront."

"Sure, you can sip herbal tea or infused water while you wait, but the bite-size brownies in the lounge of the W Hotel’s sleek spa are so much more fun for kicking off an afternoon of indulgence. Follow those with a signature “Blissage” treatment and you may never want to leave. The Swedish-style massage comes in a super-long, 105-minute version—at most places, massages top out at 90 minutes—that’s worth every penny of its $230 price."

"The minute you step into Bliss Spa, you enter a colorful and vibrant ambience that instantly improves your mood. Belonging to the Bliss chain of spas, one can avail the various Swedish style massages and facials at this outlet. The spa also has a snack bar that serves tasty bites to the hungry guests."

"This was the first art museum to open in Washington, D.C. It has a permanent collection of some of the finest works of art from the 20th century from famous artists like Claude Monet, John Sing Sargent and Mary Cassatt. The Corcoran Gallery of Art is only one block away from the White House so you can see both in one morning or afternoon, and it only requires a short walk on your part."

There are exhibits dedicated to Egyptian carvings, sacred objects, and musical instruments. The National Museum of African Art reopened in July 2021, following renovations."

Another point that is useful for tourists is that the mall is an excellent place to stop before taking the Express Bus to Dulles International Airport."

"It's best to follow these lunches on wheels on Twitter, but usually you'll find them lined up near the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station in southwest D.C., McPherson Square, Franklin Park, and Farragut Square all in northwest D.C. Popular ones include..."
