The Spa at The Laura Hotel — Local services in Houston

I was a guest in the spa at the Laura Hotel yesterday, 5/11 for Mother’s Day, and my experience was extremely underwhelming. My fiancé got me an 80 minute massage with hot stones that cost $300, and it was 100% not worth it. I had a male provider (I cannot remember his name) and the entire massage just felt like I was getting lathered in massage oil, an excessive amount, not actually getting a massage with learned technique. I asked for more pressure twice, it was not maintained, it did not feel good, and besides my back, all other areas felt rushed and I left feeling extremely oily, not relaxed and not rejuvenated at all.

She is thorough and I love that she asks about specific areas and the pressure points. The Laura spa is a cute and quaint sized spa which is perfect for quiet and relaxing service. I’ll be back to see Carmen...

I got a massage from Carmen and it was 10/10 service! She was so kind and able to reach all of my problem areas wonderfully. Only reason I give 4 stars is just for the size of the facility. It is a bit smaller and there are no amenities to give you such as a robe or slippers. But I was able to get a 10% off code and the staff is very kind. If you’re staying at the Laura and don’t have any other spa places in mind I’d definitely...
