Rainy Day
Willow Stream Spa inside the Fairmont Empress: fireplace, harbour view, two therapists, one mineral pool, zero reasons to care about the weather.
Fairmont Empress, 721 Government St, Inner Harbour
More infoTucked inside the grand old Fairmont Empress, this couples suite comes with a real fireplace and an Inner Harbour view, plus two therapists working side by side so nobody feels crowded. Drift through the mineral pool, hit the sauna and steam room (pack a swimsuit for the co-ed mineral bath), then let the massage table have you. Surface boneless, and the rain becomes somebody else's problem.
This is the deep-end splurge, so reserve the couples suite well ahead and arrive a good hour early. Drift between the mineral pool, sauna and steam room first (pack a swimsuit for the co-ed bath), then sink into side-by-side treatments in that fireplace-and-harbour-view room and let the weather become someone else's problem. Block out a full three hours minimum. You'll float out the doors so loose that wherever you go next barely matters.
