Discover the Best Spas in Chicago

With a spa day pass in Chicago, you do not need to book a room upstairs to enjoy world-class relaxation for the afternoon.
Picture a champagne massage at the Waldorf Astoria, skyline views from the Four Seasons spa lounge, or a modern glow-up at milk + honey in the Gold Coast. Even beyond the city limits, Le Meridien Oak Brook offers a serene escape that feels far from the rush of downtown.
ResortPass curates access to the best hotel spas in Chicago--the same places locals turn to when they want a reset and visitors discover when they have a few free hours to spare.

Why Locals and Visitors Love Chicago Spa Day Passes
Chicago is a city that never slows down, which makes its spas all the more essential.
For locals, a spa pass is a pressure valve: a way to trade in the Loop's pace for a quiet hour at milk + honey or to slip into the gilded calm of the Waldorf Astoria after work. Suburban residents often gravitate toward Le Meridien Oak Brook, where a short drive delivers a full-scale reset away from traffic and deadlines.
For visitors, a Chicago spa pass turns downtime into discovery. Business travelers can turn an afternoon between meetings into a restorative pause at JW Marriott's art-deco inspired spa, while weekend tourists find themselves renewing sore muscles after a day along the Magnificent Mile or exploring Millennium Park. The Ritz-Carlton, with its skyline views and hushed interiors, has become a favorite for those who want to feel cocooned yet still tethered to the city's heartbeat.
Couples and friends use these spas as settings for celebration. Champagne-paired massages at Waldorf Astoria set the tone for anniversaries. Four Seasons' expansive spa suites make the perfect canvas for a girls' day, with treatments that flow into cocktails overlooking Lake Michigan. And for groups seeking something more modern and holistic, Leaf Spa Chicago offers a boutique, nature-inspired space where wellness feels as personal as it is indulgent.
How to Choose the Right Spa Day Pass in Chicago
Choosing a spa in Chicago is less about what the city offers and more about the kind of day you want to create. This is a city of contrasts, where Gilded Age opulence meets cutting-edge wellness, and where every neighborhood brings its own rhythm. A spa day pass in Chicago lets you curate the experience that fits your mood.
- For luxury: Step into the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, The Ritz-Carlton Chicago, or Four Seasons Chicago. These icons deliver the kind of five-star pampering that has made the city a world-class destination, with deep-tissue massages, thermal suites, and champagne pairings.
- For modern wellness: milk + honey in the Gold Coast is a retreat designed for the self-care generation, with glowing skin treatments and personalized massages that feel both contemporary and restorative.
- For suburban calm: Le Meridien Oak Brook sits just outside the city, yet feels worlds away. It is the choice for those who want to skip traffic and slip into serenity.
- For a wellness-focused reset: Leaf Spa Chicago blends holistic practices with modern therapies. Rituals rooted in nature encourage guests to slow down and reconnect.
- For a balance of spa and fitness: The Spa at Trump Chicago offers both luxury treatments and access to a state-of-the-art fitness club overlooking the river.
You Asked, We Answered: FAQs for Your Chicago Spa Day
What is typically included in a Chicago spa pass?
Most spa passes include access to lounges, saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools, along with robes, slippers, and towel service. Some properties also extend access to fitness centers or pools. For example, Waldorf Astoria Chicago offers thermal lounges and champagne-enhanced experiences, while Trump Chicago combines spa treatments with a full fitness club.
Do I need to be a hotel guest to book a Chicago spa pass?
Not at all. A day pass is designed for those who want luxury without the overnight stay. Whether you book Four Seasons Chicago for a girls' day or JW Marriott Chicago for a restorative solo escape, you will check in at the spa desk and enjoy the same amenities as hotel guests.
How much is a spa pass in Chicago?
Prices range from around $75 to over $200 depending on the property and treatments. JW Marriott Chicago and Trump Chicago often start at the lower end, while Waldorf Astoria and Four Seasons deliver five-star indulgence at higher price points.
Can I bring a guest or book multiple passes?
Yes. Each guest will need their own pass, which you can add during checkout. It is a popular way to plan group spa days at Le Meridien Oak Brook or celebrate milestones at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago.
What's the difference between a day spa and a hotel spa?
A day spa is a stand-alone facility focused on spa treatments, like massages, facials, skincare, and manicure or pedicure services. Standouts like milk + honey in the Gold Coast or Leaf Spa Chicago pair those treatments with luxury extras: saunas, hydrotherapy circuits, lounges, and sometimes even pool access. Hotel spas, on the other hand, are usually owned by and operated within a hotel or resort property, and offer many similar services and amenities--plus the ability to book a room for an overnight stay. Some hotel spas are restricted to hotel guests, but with ResortPass, you can access hotel spas without the overnight stay.
What is a head spa, and can I find one in Chicago?
A head spa is a Japanese-inspired scalp treatment that blends massage, cleansing, and conditioning to refresh both hair and mind. Leaf Spa Chicago is among the few places offering this specialized service in the city.
What are the most popular spa treatments in Chicago?
Massages and facials remain the top picks, but each property has its signature. Waldorf Astoria is known for champagne-paired massages, Four Seasons for skyline-view facials, and Leaf Spa for holistic therapies rooted in nature.
