The Spa at Mandarin Oriental
776 Boylston St.
617-535-8820
In the hospitality industry, accolades seem to fly fast and furious, but when a
spa earns a recognition that only 17 others in the world share, it’s big
news. The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel recently joined the exclusive
fraternity of spas to receive a five-star accreditation from the prestigious Forbes
Travel Guide. The spa offers an array of treatments ranging from a
basic 80-minute massage to the “Boston Breather” (a day of
pampering that includes an aroma stone massage, facial, coffee and frankincense
scrub, manicure, pedicure and lunch), to the brand-new “New Year, New
You” detox package—ensuring that whether you need minor pampering
or a full-fledged day of stress-busting, there’s a treatment to make you
feel like a star.

The Seaport gets Stylish
LOUIS BOSTON
Fan Pier on Northern Avenue
617-262-6100
Attention
fashionistas: the chic quotient of the Boston waterfront just rose considerably
with the relocation of longtime Back Bay standout Louis Boston to the Fan Pier
complex on Northern Avenue. The famed luxury retailer spent 20 years in its
swank Newbury Street location (former home to the New England Museum of Natural
History) before making the decision to become the first major retailer to take
up residency in the up-and-coming Seaport retail complex. The new
store—which still stocks the sort of upscale fashions for men and women
and luxury home goods it’s always been known for—is itself a
temporary location for Louis Boston, with a permanent new seaside home
(pictured above), currently under construction, set to be unveiled in April.
