Embracing the stillness

Seeing A-listers and TIFF attendees chilling at this go-to-spa during the film festival is almost guaranteed but sometimes, when all that’s needed is a nurturing sojourn, Stillwater Spa is just the ticket.

 

Located at Avenue and Bloor, in the recently renovated Park Hyatt Hotel, Stillwater uses pure plant essences and offers restorative treatment options that provide a canvas for a personalized wellness experience. It’s an ideal place for a weekend reboot.
