My daughter and I traveled an hour down the road and wound up at The Arlington in Hot Springs last week. We did the "Pamper Me" Spa Package and had quite a squeaky clean time! For $269 (plus tax and tips), the package for two included an overnight stay with standard room and two extra comfy beds, a spa treatment of choice for each person, a special spa gift, breakfast in the Venetian Dining Room, and one of their famous white robes to wander around in during the visit. No flashing allowed.
For our spa treatment we naturally chose the famous Hot Springs bath with 30 minute massage. If you live close to the area and don't go for a HS's bath every now and then, I'm afraid there's something terribly wrong with you. I know you have to strip down in front of the personnel, but at this age, who cares. We also chose an extra spa treatment for $130 and loved the Deluxe Signature Facial that lasted well over an hour with intense pampering on our face, hands, and feet. My lady, Jade, had worked at the 4 Seasons in Dallas for many years and was such an accomplished esthetician. Our special spa gift consisted of lotions and gels for our newly refurbished bodies. Nice.
Naturally we had to shop while in the pampering mode and found this darling little hole in the wall, C'est Bon Boutique, next door. Sandals were half price so you know what that means...two pair for sure. Also, a couple of cute tops were snared. We chose to eat lunch at Belle Arti and dinner at Rolando's. A glass of wine on the Arlington veranda, among all the hustle and bustle, sent us over the top. Then, we went to the room, took a short nap, panicked when the cable conked out (couldn't miss Big Brother) and had an early evening. Overall, the visit was really nice and the following morning, after our included breakfast, we hated to get into the car and drive back to the real world...
