Aurora Spa at Hotel Las Alcobas

Description:

• The Aurora Spa at Hotel Las Alcobas is open only to guests at this luxury boutique hotel in Mexico City and that's reason enough to book a stay. Located in Polanco on the capital's most exclusive street for shopping, Aurora Spa honors the country's indigenous traditions and uses native products that the ancient Maya, Aztec, Toltec, and Olmec would recognize in its treatments. Corn and cocoa, of course, make an appearance as do aloe vera, vanilla, and agave in fragrant mixtures.
  
  Guests are pampered in two calm-inducing treatment areas where massage and facial and body treatments are gently given (other salon services can be arranged at nearby facilities). The Tepezcohuite Body Drench is Aurora Spa's signature therapy. Called the "skin" tree by generations of Maya healers, Tepezcohuite yields a bark known for its antimicrobial properties. Here, it is combined with other emollients to hydrate and renew the skin.
