InterContinental San Francisco

this may be t.m.i. but i HAVE to rave about their brazilians!! their estheticians are very well trained and they make you feel so comfortable and it only took about 30 min but i think the whole thing is booked for like 45min or something. they were VERY clean!! (which is important when they're...working on down there) they also validated my valet parking at the hotel so it was FREE PARKING IN THE CITY!! the last girl i had was ACTUALLY brazilian! haha! i thought it was pretty funny. Lanira was her name. and she is AWESOME go see her... Pros: best brazilian by a ....BRAZILIAN Cons: not visible from the street (inside the hotel) more

I spa is one of the best day spas in san Francisco. Its prices are very competitive and they have specials every few months if you look for them which are really good. I know a bunch of people who went to there grand opening and it was awesome. Pros: super awesome everything more

I came here on a fluke one cold and rainy day to get a massage because burke Williams was booked. It was great because it was super close to the Westfield center and a lot nicer than burke Williams, A lot. The rooms here are huge, and the fact that there is not screaming children and shoppers all around really makes me feel a whole lot better and yet it is only one block away from the Westfield center. Pros: Super clean, beautiful spa, rooms with windows. Cons: No Hydrotherapy more

when i walked in I was greeted by a very friendly staff who patiently described the services to me...and how they can CUSTOMIZE everything to my need (just communicate)\r \r the facilities (which btw is on the 6th floor of this new hotel) are SUPER clean. no hairs on the floor. no hairs on the drain. everything was clean serene and pretty ...just as it SHOULD be you know? \r \r my massage was called traveler or something. i got 80 minutes because i think i deserved it. it was a little bit of everything swedish a little deep tissue with aromatherapy. PERFECT. \r \r then i got my facial with i forget her name but it was amazing. she said that they were murad only but their stuff was PERFECT. my face had a bit of a glow afterwards...a little red from the extractions but who isn't right? then~ i sat in the steam room for a while to total detox (last night's drink...okay 2 drinks) and i never felt i was pressured to leave. sales were nevery pushy it was more to educate me on how to take care of m more

okay~ so this place is a bit hard to find cuz it's inside a hotel but the hotel itself isn't thank god =) its the BRIGHTest bluest building standing tall on Howard street...had to take the elevator up but no biggie~ Pros: clean. friendly staff. nice amenities and perks. coupons Cons: inside a hotel....but hotel's not hard to find =) more

Excellent Spa!! Best in the City. From the moment you enter the Friendly Staff will make you feel special. I am a frequent spa user and have been to many of the Spas in San Francisco and feel I-Spa is top. The facilites are top notch. By far the best in the city. Especially for a person that is wanting all the convienience of a health club, spa, and pool! Make sure to get there early and grab a good workout in the large state of the art excercise room. All new machines and cardio equipment. The pool is great and a real treat for someone looking to swim in SF. The whirl pool is also outstanding and deserves some of your time. Relax in the steamroom..There is no other place like I-Spa in SF. The massage is also awesome. I have been to I-Spa 4-5 times and always have experienced an excellent massage. Pros: great facilities, gym, pool, and steam Cons: small locker/locker area more

This is a very nice hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is nice and, at least in my room, has a very nice view. A nice suprise was the large flat screen HD TV. Room service is promt, and although the menue is a little on the pricey side, it's not totally unreasonable for ht type of place it is. Pros: nice place, staff, and food Cons: none more

I recently visited the newly open I-spa and regret every moment spent there. I went there to check out the place for a group bridal spa day and possibly apply for employment. Not only was the FD staff rude but the assistant manager and spa director were cold as ice. Their FAKE smiles went from "Hi" to "Oh you have a question about employment? Sit over there and someone will be right with you." I waited in the lobby for 35 mins. while the FD girl just stood there on her computer not saying anything. I asked if I could use the restroom and she said "Someone will be with you shortly." I ended up walking out. BTW, I didn't have an interview I just was inquiring about employment AND I was scouting for a location for my sister's bridal party. The executive management staff was rude, snobish, and not welcoming...HELLO, ISN'T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLACE OF GOOD VIBES AND POSITIVE HEALTH & WELL BEING? I guess unless your paying them cold hard cash.....they don't give out FREE, FRIENDLY, and NICE ATTITUDES WORST SPA IN THE CITY.....WAKE UP OWNERS LOOK WHO'S REPRESENTING YOUR COMPANY. Pros: RUDE staff & management, cold & unwelcoming decor, hard to locate, bad/ugly location Cons: NOTHING!!!! more

I didn't enjoy my experience here. Rude staff! Off-beat location and terrible low-budget products. Save your money for a nice upscale place with experienced staff. more

I have been to numerous spa's and I believe my experience here was top notch. The knowledable staff helped me in choosing a personalized service just for me. I decided to go with the "Travelers Tonic Massage" because it was a combo of all the good stuff IE swedish, deep tissue, and aromatherapy. My arrival was friendly and direct. Much to my liking. After filling out my intake form I was escourted to the ladies locker room and given a brief tour. The shower was amazing. I do admit I was too chicken to try it but I will next time. When I was changing I was greated by a friendly attendant who later made me tea and offered me a warm neck wrap. Deluxe. My massage was just what I was looking for....light in area's; deep in others. When I was on my way out my therapist, Megan, recommended a Jet Lag Salt/Oil combo. I didn't feel pressured to buy it, so I did! I have been using it in the shower together as a scrub. I love multi purpose. All in all I would recommend this to my friends and will be returning. San Francisco is lucky to have this fresh new addition. more

Excellent environment. The I-Spa has beautiful floor to ceiling windows, with an unfortunate view of Howard St. Fortunately I spent most of the therapy session face down so I didn't really notice much in the outside world. The staff was warm and welcoming when I arrived for my Deep Tissue Massage. My massage therapist was a polite young woman named Jaime who promptly set to work on my lower back (which has been destroyed by years of business travel). Halfway through the Deep Tissue session Jaime offered to try some acupressure on me when I made mention of headaches. I have no clue what she did but my head hasn't felt this clear in years. After my time was up I truly didn't want to leave. I am definitely coming back for a massage and to check out the Vichy Rain Shower treatments the next time I need to relax and unwind from my business travels. Pros: Great staff, knowledgable therapist, excellent location Cons: They wouldn't let me spend the night in the spa more

I received a notice that this spa recently opened and I figured I would break away from the norm and try it out. After my time at the I-SPA I feel compelled to write a review. First of all, the hotel is TOP NOTCH. Valle parking attendants were extremely nice and it is free for up to 3-hours. The lobby of the hotel is really nice. Upon getting to the 6th floor I noticed that the spa has a great clean feel and smelled amazing. Locker rooms were nice and the steam room was perfect...lots of steam. The relaxation area was very modern and hip (seperate men's and women's). I still cant get over the TEA. It is the best tea in San Francisco...hands down. My treatment was great. The massage rooms have floor to ceiling windows that look over the city! I was really nice to get the natural light into the room and to date this was one of the best massages I have had. Gary is the Massage Therapist, I would recommend to anyone. So then I was asked if I wanted to relax on the outdoor deck. They have heaters out there and really nice soft seating. I took some tea out there and my wife joined me. She said her facial was great and that they used all the bells and whistles of the skin care machine. She also had a Vichy Rainshower treatment (20-min) that she cant stop talking about. Afterwards we ordered food from the spa menu and had a drink on the deck. I am telling you...really nice experience. This is a gem in the city and we will be going back. Pros: Facilities, THERAPISTS and treatments, In door pool and gym. Cons: no full length lockers more

This beautiful new spa has spacious treatment rooms with windows and docking stations for you to listen to your ipod music while you're receiving services. They offer yoga, a great fitness center w/pilates reformer, pool/jacuzzi and amazing personalized services with the most talented therapists, Definitely, check it out... Pros: talented therapists, felt experience was personalized for me, comp parking in the city, jacuzzi! more
