Best Bath Houses in Hudson

"Bota Bota might be Montréal’s most famous spa, and for good reason: it’s an actual boat, anchored in the St. Lawrence, with water views from every imaginable angle. You can enjoy the full roster of spa treatments here – massages, body treatments and more – and, as locals know, you can even invest in a membership that grants regular access to the boat’s indoor and outdoor pools. The greatest outdoor experience, though, is a swimming platform perched above the chilly waters of the St. Lawrence."

"This historical Old Port river ferry-turned-spa is also home to a killer resident restaurant that offers healthy, seasonal terroir menus featuring local Quebec ingredients. A summertime meal in the open air on the water’s edge is relaxing, but throw in a water circuit bath, full scrub and a Swedish massage and even the most hellish of work weeks will melt into memory."

"Inspired by the age-old tradition of public baths, Scandinave Spa Vieux-Montréal is a veritable Eden in the heart of Old Montreal. A contemporary and authentic environment, the spa promotes privacy, ultimate relaxation in silence for a feeling of absolute escape. Admission: Sunday to Friday: $60 Saturday: $65 (Bathrobe, towels, sandals, padlock and tasting of organic herbal teas and fresh fruit included)"

"A post shared by Förena Cité Thermale (@forena_cite_thermale). Saint-Bruno’s gorgeous thermal spa is open for the summer season, and it’s calling you to release all those inner toxins. The thermal spa centre, Förena Cité thermale, set at the base of Mont Saint-Bruno, opened to the public last January."

"While admiring Montreal’s Old Port charm, stop by Scandinave Spa for a relaxing afternoon. Scandinave Spa offers massages and water therapy. The spa is known for their Scandinavian baths."

"Enjoy a unique relaxing experience in nature, only five minutes from downtown Montreal. On the edge of Lac des Battures, the Strøm Nordic Spa offers an environment of outstanding natural beauty. Outdoor whirlpool, temperate and ice baths, Finnish saunas, eucalyptus steam bath, thermal and Nordic waterfalls, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas with fireplace."

"Strom Spa’s philosophy is to combine the Nordic spa experience with urban living. Only minutes away from Montreal’s city centre, this Nun’s Island spa offers a myriad of baths at different temperatures. They believe in the benefits of plunging into hot and cold baths to release toxins and promote relaxation of the body and soul."

"À quelques minutes du centre-ville, l’établissement offre une pause mieux-être avec, entre autres, ses bains à remous en plein air, ses bains de vapeur aux huiles essentielles, son espace foyer et son quai installé sur le lac des Battures. Mention d’honneur à la boutique et aux jolies trouvailles qu’on y fait."

"Spa Escale Santé, in the center of Montreal Angus area, is an intimate spa that offers indoor Icelandic baths in a soothing setting. Begin your relaxation journey in their sauna, rinse off in their waterfall, and indulge in the many perks they offer like massages, facials and other self-care services. The urban decor has a modern feel that’s both clean and cozy, giving the spa an air of instant comfort."

"The experience at Spa Escape Santé incorporates a wide array of spa options, from the beauty oriented to the relaxation oriented. Visitors can indulge in Icelandic-style baths, a cleansing waterfall and a series of other water features. The spa also offers massages, facials and more involved procedures like microblading, electrolysis and laser hair removal."

"Spa Escale Santé is situated in a contemporary urban spa setting in the heart of the city. Immerse yourself in the hot and cold saline pools and complete your spa experience with Finnish sauna, steam bath scented with eucalyptus, and the icy waterfall. Relax in the comfortable lounge areas or enjoy a tea snuggled in an armchair in the cinema-lounge."

"Part of the offerings at the Place d'Armes Hotel, this health and wellness spa’s main attraction is a full hammam bath filled with eucalyptus vapors (plus a selection of teas to enjoy after you sweat out those toxins). A total of ten facial and body treatments are also available in conjunction with the bath, from massage packages to exfoliations and facial treatments. If you found yourself at this hotel for a staycation with a date or significant other, grab one of their couples’ packages to clean up after getting down and dirty."

"On the third floor of Hôtel Place d’Armes you’ll find Rainspa, a spectacular, 2,500-square-foot space dedicated to everything from manicures to LED treatments. Unlike many of Montréal’s other spas, which borrow from the Nordic tradition of saunas, spas and overall wellness, Rainspa uses Morocco and Turkey for inspiration. In the sprawling hammam, a Turkish steam room, visitors can benefit from the steam treatment, which promotes the elimination of toxins, improved blood flow and better respiration."

"Located in the chic Place D'Armes Hotel in the Old Port, Rainspa distinguises itself with a complete range of aesthetic and paramedical treatments, while their team of dedicated experts make sure you find true relaxation."

"Located inside the luxurious Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel, this spa embodies the experience of escaping the city without leaving it, given its location in the downtown core. While it caters to business crowds, it’s far from exclusive when considering the bonuses it offers: Two hours of facials, manicures, pedicures, massages and/or body treatments here get you full access to the hotel’s indoor pool, jacuzzi and fitness center. And if you’re looking to gift a man in your life, take note: This place likes to offer male-oriented treatments like basalt stone massages, triple facials and ‘executive’ pedicures."

"Sometimes you don’t want to decide what to do next at a spa, and that’s why we like to look to this guided experience in Griffintown. Attendants can take you from one treatment to the next, but the selection of options here merits repeated visits: Climb into a free-standing cryotherapy booth that’s chilled with liquid nitrogen (perfectly safe), white light sessions to induce a hypnagogic state to get your brain pumping out a bit of DMT, using sugar for hair removal, or any one of their other on-the-edge offerings. Come for the innovation, stay for the relaxation."

"Spa Cloud is committed to giving you the best health and wellness experience possible. Spa Cloud aspires to be Montreal’s greenest spa; they’re dedicated to being on the cutting edge of technology and innovation, and they’ll continue to offer you some of the most innovative treatments and therapies. Spa Cloud products are chosen for their beneficial plant and fruit extracts, which give nutrients and advantages while also assisting you in feeling your best."

"Cloud is an appropriate name for this spa, which is filled with natural elements. Entering Spa Cloud can feel, at times, like entering nature itself: wood, soft lights and organic surfaces reign. There is a menu of beauty- and wellness-minded treatments."

"Located in Westmount, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Quebec, ​Annie Young Boutique and Spa offers standard spa treatments (massage therapy, steam-sauna-cold room thermal circuit, facials, and body care) but that's not what landed the spa on this list. What sets the spa apart from other spas are its medical spa services, from injectables (dermal fillers and Botox) to body sculpting to laser treatments. Victoria Park even features a health club with yoga, barre, and Pilates classes available on-site."

"A student-friendly operation facing Lafontaine Park, Centrale Parc offers a boutique setting with offerings that go easy on the wallet without skimping on prerequisite quality. Massage, body care, baths and facials are the primary drawcards here, but there are clinical options for those looking for mental and physical pain relief as well: Fasciatherapy for body tissues, cranial therapy for the head-centric pains, kinesitherapy for movement and osteopathy for muscles and joints. If you’re looking for something completely guided, the spa ritual packages to have you letting go and drifting away in no time."

"Composed of Belgian chocolate and essential oils, Spa Centrale Parc claims its unique chocolate bath treatment conveys both euphoric sensations and anti-depressant effects while assisting with skin regeneration. A Plateau neighborhood spa overlooking Parc La Fontaine, Spa Centrale Parc also serves up goat's milk and mud baths as well as infrared sauna access, osteopathy, physiotherapy, cranial therapy, and naturopathic treatments. Traditional spa treatments like facials, mani-pedis, and body treatments are a given."

"Of the offerings specific to Spa Centrale Parc, the chocolate bath is, perhaps, the most well known. Dark chocolate and essential oils are combined to create a bath that both helps with serotonin levels and promotes healthy skin. Other unique experiences curated by this particular spa include goat’s milk baths, mud baths and infrared saunas."

"Nothing says returning to the comfort of the womb like climbing into an egg-shaped isolation chamber, and that’s what this spa in La Petite-Patrie is all about. Their Epsom salt-filled waters keep you suspended on the surface of the water for a full hour of escape in a private room. Make the most of your visit by preceding or following up your session with their massage services and a hot shower, experiment with some light therapy or their NeuroSpa, a ‘zero-gravity’ chair that uses music with comfortingly hypnotic effects."

"In the Rosemont neighborhood of Montréal, you’ll find one of the city’s most interesting and tech-savvy spas. Spa Ovarium employs the PSiO treatment, which offers guests headphones, specialized goggles and a sensory treatment that increases relaxation. In it, an LED light is presented before the eye, moving in a rhythm that is supposed to shift the body from a state of alertness to a state of complete relaxation."

"Opened in 1982, Ovarium was the first floatation bath center in Montreal. Now located in the Petite-Patrie area, Ovarium now comprises six therapeutic flotation bath rooms and eleven massage therapy rooms, where guests are meant to combine the two relaxation techniques to achieve ultimate mind and body rejuvenation."

"Dorschester Square is a local heritage sire known for its architectural and urban landscape. The square is surrounded by an architectural ensemble of exceptional quality that testifies to the various periods of development of the downtown area. It remains today as one of the most prestigious spaces in Montreal which have been established, often for a long time, important civil and religious institutions."

"Dorchester Square is a sizeable space right smack in the middle of downtown. It’s the perfect pit stop to take a break from the constant buzz of downtown. The park’s main attraction is Montreal’s only equestrian statue, which pays homage to the Boer War."

"On Rue Peel turn south to Dorchester Square and admire the impressive Sunlife Building. This is a great photo stop as you will have a lovely view of Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral and Montreal’s tallest skyscraper. 1000 de la Gauchetiere."

"Built in 1876, Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes is an architectural masterpiece and a religious gem designed by famed artist Napoléon Bourassa. A dazzling mix of Byzantine and Roman style, it was called "a labor of love" by its designer – and it shows. Located between the University of Quebec and the Latin Quarter, the church instantly cuts you off from the noise and traffic of the busy downtown and transports to a completely tranquil, unabashedly sentimental world filled with color and paint."

"At the large white cross at Easo, stay on the coast road to a parking area below the small Chapelle Notre Dame de Lourdes. Steps lead up the hill to the chapel from where there are fantastic views of Baie de Jinek to the west and Baie du Santal to the east and south. The chapel was originally built in 1898 to commemorate the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in 1858."

"St. James United Church is a member of the United Church of Canada and is located in downtown Montreal. The Methodist faith was formed in Montreal in 1807, and the community’s development led to the construction of the current church structure on Sainte Catherine Street in 1888. The community fulfills the spiritual needs of individuals of all ages, asserting the value of everyone, regardless of their culture, color, or sexual orientation, including persons with the most diverse abilities who are experiencing problems, as part of a long heritage of dedication to social justice."

"Why: Erected in 1889, the church is a heritage building that also includes the exterior square onto rue Sainte-Catherine and the ground that wraps around to rue Mayor. It is now often used as a multi-purpose venue for cultural, social, and artistic groups."

"When you finish up at the museum continue walking east along Rue Sainte-Catherine, passing by St. James church until you reach Place des Arts. From this point on the street becomes pedestrian-only."

"A post shared by David Bowen (@davidbowen76) on Jun 29, 2015 at 4:44pm PDT. Prepare your taste pallets to be dazzled by the top class food prepared in this amazing restaurant. From the relaxing atmosphere to the perplexing food menu, you know you made the right choice."

"Located just west of St. Laurent on Villeneuve, Dieu du Ciel is open seven days a week until 3 am. Considered one of the top brewpubs in Montreal and beyond, their beer menu is constantly being updated, with 15+ creative craft brews on rotation. You can choose your favorites, or have something brand-new every time you walk in the door."

"needs no introduction: it’s one of Montreal’s most famous microbreweries, and with good reason. On Laurier Avenue West, in the heart of Mile End, the place is intimate, warm and always packed. Great selection of inventive, bold, and cleverly named beers."

"Martine is allowing for order pickups that have been processed and paid for online. The wonderful owner is expecting to offer delivery soon... stay on the lookout for an update on their social media!"
