When I posted photos of the lovely suite that we stayed in at the Sofitel Manila over the Valentine weekend, I mentioned that the rooms were just the start of a fantasy. The pampering continued with an evening appointment at the hotel's luxurious Le Spa. This photo of the spa's lobby was taken from the reception desk, looking out towards the corridor.
We were a few minutes early for our appointment, so my husband and I were led to the wonderfully scented and relaxing waiting room…
where we were served sweet fruit tea in a black iron pot, with warm moist towels to wipe our hands.
When our spa room was ready, we were led up a stairway. You may have noticed by now that I have a fascination with lighting fixtures, and I just loved the pattern created by the bamboo shades on the landing.
The stairs led to a smaller lobby on the second floor, where all the spa rooms are located. You can see the open doorway of one on the right.
The dimly lit couple's room has a large bath strewn with rose petals overlooking the hotel's gardens and lagoon-shaped pool.
The pressure used by my masseuse was just right for me, but my husband says that he would have preferred a heavier and more vigorous treatment.
