When life has you over a barrel, you can retreat to the Chicago’s Four Seasons Hotel for a total mind-body reset. The Spa is serving up a shot of luxury relaxation minus the hangover with bourbon infused man-tastic spa treatments that have been curated just for the boys. So, reserve, relax and rejuvenate as the professionals smooth out your rough spots. Your bourbon doesn’t have to be served in a glass to be pretty darn neat. Here’s what’s on the menu.

Vintage Bourbon Massage

Rough night out? There’s no shortage of bourbon bars in Chi-town. So by all means, go out and indulge. Trust that the Four Seasons will have your back the morning after. Hydrate and schedule this healing massage that starts with The Bourbon Bubbler scrub, a mixture of brown sugar and Kentucky bourbon. Like a warm hug, it will get the blood flowing and your circulation moving. Chase it with a therapeutic hot stone and essential oils massage. For straight relaxation, upgrade your time from 50 to 80 minutes and follow it up with a little hair of the dog. Enjoy the Four Season’s signature Knob Creek Barrel Select Bourbon. Salud!

This next level treatment provides intense hydration for your hands and feet while protecting them from the elements (hello, Windy City winters). Trust us; you won’t miss your dry, cracked digits after indulging in this brown sugar and Kentucky bourbon scrub that will leave your paws extremely soft. Knock back a glass of Knob Creek Barrel Select Bourbon made especially for the Allium Bar and enjoy some Midwestern hospitality. Cheers!
