As summer draws to a close, you don't have to let your radiant glow fade away. Why not indulge in a staycation that promises rest, renewal, and a touch of luxury? Consider pairing your stay with a visit to the Woodhouse Spa, located at the W Hotel on the scenic waterfront in Hoboken. This award-winning day spa offers a tranquil, transformational environment designed to leave you feeling calm, energized, and balanced.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Woodhouse Spa boasts over 80 locations nationwide. The Hoboken location, a two-level, 6,000-square-foot space, serves both guests of the W Hotel and the general public seeking a relaxing escape. The spa's ambiance immediately sets the tone for relaxation, with various soothing teas available upon arrival to help you slip into a state of tranquility. Guests are also welcomed into the Quiet Room between treatments and can take advantage of the provided spa robes, slippers, private lockers, and beverages.
The Woodhouse Day Spa in Hoboken offers various services, including massages, facials, body treatments, and waxing. Whether you have a full day to dedicate to self-care or just a few hours, there's a service tailored to meet your needs. If you're short of time but need a quick refresh, the HydraFacial Express is perfect. In just 25 minutes, this facial utilizes antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to deliver that post-facial glow.
For those seeking a more indulgent experience, consider one of the luxurious packages. For example, the Woodhouse Signature Calming Retreat includes a nourishing wrap, a HydraFacial Deluxe, and an optional lunch for a complete day of pampering. The unique spa elements, such as the salt room and Restorative Sleep Massage—a therapeutic massage using a proprietary blend of essential oils—ensure a profoundly restful experience, ideal for escaping the constant distractions of daily life.
Woodhouse Spa also offers a diverse range of massages. There's something for everyone, from deep tissue and sports massages to maternity and Swedish massages with tranquil stones. The spa's specialized treatments provide head-to-toe bliss, beginning with a full-body exfoliation and concluding with a deeply relaxing massage. When I visited, the masseuse asked several questions about my massage and pressure
preferences before he began. I was also gifted a dry brush and travel-size lotions (the same ones used during my treatment) to take home with me.
If interested in planning a visit, the spa is open Wednesday through Saturday. You can book your session by calling (201) 254-8200 or through their website. The Woodhouse Spa offers gift cards, allowing you to share the luxury with someone special or if you need the perfect gift. Call the spa to request a mailed gift card.

With Woodhouse Spa, the end of summer doesn't mean the end of your radiance. Indulge in the ultimate self-care experience and savor the last days of summer in style.
