Best Spas in Oshawa

"Toronto is the hometown of the Four Seasons brand, so it was especially important that the location here represent the very best of the five-star name. Built in 2012 to replace the somewhat outdated 1960s original, this 55-story tower in the chic Yorkville neighborhood nails the concept of discreet luxury. The lobby is separated into small, lounge-like spaces, including a reception desk that’s tucked away in an alcove under a stunning sculpture of falling flowers."

"Located in the heart of Toronto, Four Seasons Hotel is yet another one of the famous hotels in Toronto. This high-rise, 5-star luxury hotel located in the fashionable shopping quarters and is stationed only 9-min walking from the Royal Ontario Museum. The spacious rooms in this property are sophisticated and adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral tones."

"If you are a wine and cuisine fanatic, Four Seasons is your go-to hotel. This modernly designed and spacious facility is located in Yorkville quarter. You can enjoy French cuisine and wine at their Café Boulud."

"Elmwood Spa is perfect for those who are seeking stress relief and relaxation in a peaceful atmosphere. Whether reconnecting with friends, celebrating a milestone, or for personal stress relief and self-renewal, Elmwood Spa is the ideal place to visit. The spa offers a warm, welcoming feel and provides attentive service that allows clients to feel special the moment they walk into the spa."

"There's no need to be alarmed because the Elmwood Spa is quite the opposite of a nightmare on Elm Street. Instead of a horror film you can’t wake up from, the spa is rather a luxurious, beautiful dream that you don’t want to wake from — you know, the ones that you usually have after watching a McDonald’s or Dairy Queen commercial."

"Modern urban life can be stressful, and every now and then we need to escape the demands of work, family, or social obligations and unwind. Fortunately, you don’t need to go far to get some much needed nurturing and renewal. Visit Elmwood Spa, a peaceful oasis located in a refined historic building in downtown Toronto."

"As what I’d like to think as the ultimate place of rejuvenation, Hammam Spa is a beautiful space where ancient meets modern. Similar to a Turkish bath, they focus on cleansing and detoxifying your body through the usage of their steam room before and after treatment. I visited a few years ago at their King West location and received the most relaxing deep tissue massage by one of their experienced RMTs."

"Golden tones and warm woods welcome stressed out city folk with an urban sanctuary environment. The steam room may be enough to induce relaxation. With light eucalyptus oils circulating through the room, it is the perfect place to be on a cold winter's day (or any day, for that matter)."

"Located in Yorkville, that good ole Toronto neighbourhood that’s fun for window shopping but not actual shopping, the Novo Spa is a 5,000 square-foot natural treatment centre that transforms spa bliss into personal bliss; and this personal bliss doesn’t go away in a couple minutes like a good snack does (I know I’ve been talking about food a lot, okay?! I’ve been thinking about German schnitzel ever since I returned from Europe last week. You understand). @jfmarquessembedded via. With services ranging from couple and individual massages to advanced natural and organic facials, the spa offers luxuries that will cure you just by the sound of it — but, you know, actually going there and getting the actual treatment would be nice, too."

"This Yorkville Spa is home to a practice they call Steam Bed Body Therapies, a process that begins with exfoliating the entire body before laying the client down on a steam bed for a body wrap and foot/head massages. The entire experience mimics the relaxing properties of a traditional steam room, though amped up for the individual."

"Located in the core of downtown Toronto, Sweetgrass Spa is a women’s only day spa that has been ranked as one of the best spas in the country for four years. They’ve got you covered for manicures, organic treatments, body luxuries, and other services that will make you question the definition and purpose of stress in the first place. @bespoketraveldesignembedded via"

"Although stress is not gender specific, fear of being seen in a bathing suit often is. Sweetgrass takes away any potential spa stress by catering to women alone. The hot tub and sauna area is reminiscent of a lagoon and a great place to relax before or after a service."

"This spa is technically located in Markham, Ontario but it’s only a short drive north of Toronto and definitely deserves a visit. I visited Go Place a year ago when they first opened and the space itself was massive with 68,000 square feet of treatment rooms, lounging areas, an in-house restaurant, jacuzzi, multiple saunas and steam room. The main selling point for me was how it stays open 24/7 all year round with no time limit of how long you can stay."

"A luxury spa along University Avenue, located within the Shangri-la hotel, the Miraj Hammam spa is only one of the many reasons why the hotel is a solid 5-star extravaganza. @beckermanblogembedded via. A traditional Middle Eastern Hammam with an additional relaxing influence from the capital city of France, the treatments found here are different than the other modern spas you’ll find in the city."

"This standalone spa facility inside Toronto's luxurious Shangri-La Hotel offers a traditional hammam that promises to "cleanse your body while stimulating your senses and imagination." Detoxify to the max by getting a full body scrub with eucalyptus infused black Moroccan soap while you lie back on Jerusalem gold marble."

"This relaxing spot is beautifully designed with influence from Paris, Marrakech and Istanbul. Their treatments are inspired by the rituals of the Middle East and include things like Hammam & Gommage (a steam and body exfoliation), a clay body masque, and a Turkish bath ritual. Where: 188 University Ave"

"If you’re a fan of historical romance, you’ll love planning a shoot in Spadina Museum. Its delicate terrace and sprawling gardens will make your pictures look classy yet unique. It’s the perfect place for wedding photoshoots because the mansion evokes the feeling of being in a romance novel."

"Spadina Museum is one of 10 historic museums operated by the City of Toronto offering family events and kids programs throughout the year."

"The development of St. Michael’s Cathedral was thanks to Father Michael Power, who saw the need for a new building to serve a rapidly growing Catholic congregation. Toronto architect William Thomas designed St. Michael’s and John Harper led the project, which began in 1845. Bishop Power dedicated this English Gothic Revival style cathedral to St. Michael, but passed away before construction was finished."

"On Church Street in the Garden District of Toronto stands St. Michael’s Cathedral. Clad in tones of grey and brick, this cathedral stands solitary with its exceptional majestic appeal and timeless architectural pride. And why not, St. Michael's is the oldest temple in Toronto, dating back to the mid-19th century."

"» St. Michael’s Cathedral was built in the middle of the 19th century. The English New Gothic building was presented by architect William Thomas in 1865. Irish immigrants provided financial assistance."

"Restaurant 7 West serves all around the clock, 365 days a year, so you never have to miss out on good grub in our city. Located on Charles Street in the heart of the Annex, this multi-level restaurant is not only 24/7, but it also changes as you scale the stairs."

"No late-night craving goes unsatisfied at this 24-hour haven for the hip and hungry. Snacks, pastas, sandwiches, soups, and drinks are all served...Read More"

"The city’s newest art space, located on the burgeoning strip of Sterling Road, is half gallery, half rustic lodge: the curators, Liam Crockard and Aleksandar Hardashnakov, line the walls with textured plywood and offer art lovers cups of beef-bone soup. The art is just as whimsical: past exhibits have included Grey Gardens–style photography, effervescent mixed-media paintings and oversized papier mâché dummies. 227 Sterling Rd., Unit 109A, theloon.info."

"After 25 years as editor-in-chief of Canadian Art magazine, Rhodes left his post in 2015 and took over an empty space in the city’s reigning gallery district on Dupont. His latest show comes from photographer Katherine Knight, who photographs Maritime model ships and sailboats in all their nautical splendor. 1444 Dupont Street, unit 31, dupontprojects.com."

"Canvas Gallery was founded by Megan Less and Mark Hunter in Toronto in 2003. Canvas is an inviting, vibrant, and friendly venue for you to develop a personal statement through the brilliance of local and national professional artists, influenced by their passion of art, artists, and a sincere pursuit of happiness. Megan and Mark founded Canvas after working in the film and television business for years and believing that the satisfaction of owning a great work should be available to everyone."

"Considered by many to be one of Toronto’s very first “Done By Community” spaces, Canvas Gallery will bring you north of the downtown core. It fosters professional, underground and grassroots art and cultural events in an effort to “bridge the gap between emerging and professional creatives and drive culture forward for marginalized groups.” The gallery has also hosted pop-ups and magazine launches. End your night at The Stockyards, a local favourite for some down-to-earth, delicious BBQ."
