The Destination Edit

Book the spa hotel that fits the season and the budget. These guides set out nightly rates by season, resort fees and treatment prices for city and regional spa hotels across the US, and they separate what is worth paying for from what is not: the standout treatments, the patterns in guest reviews, and the editor's own recommendations. The hotels we have scored are ranked by SpaRator, the site's independent score. No hotel pays for coverage.

How We Rate

  1. Six Categories, One Scale

    Every hotel is scored on the same six categories, and cities move to the latest method version one at a time.

  2. Dated, Checked and Corrected

    Each city's rates carry a capture month, and errors are corrected in the open under our corrections policy.

Where Every Score Comes From

SpaRator is built from evidence anyone can check, and we say where every piece comes from.

Guest Reviews
For every hotel, we read and count guest reviews on Google, TripAdvisor and Booking.com.
Rates
Rates come from Google Hotels, which gathers the prices listed by Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Kayak, Agoda and the hotel's own site. Scores use dated captures: room plus resort fee and tax.
The Hotel
Facilities, treatments, prices and policies come from the hotel's own website and its published spa menu.
Our Research
Our research turns these into more than 40 documented data points per hotel, scored by the same method.
