WITH THE UPS AND DOWNS OF 2017 FINALLY COMING TO A CLOSE, YOU’RE PROBABLY DREAMING OF WINDING DOWN AND RELAXING. WHETHER YOUR HAPPY PLACE IS A DRINK BY THE POOL. A SPOT OF SHOPPING. AN INVIGORATING MASSAGE OR MAYBE JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS TO SWITCH OFF AND RECHARGE, YOU’LL FIND IT AT QT GOLD COAST.
Any Gold Coaster will tell you that our sunny local shores are among the best places in the world to unwind and indulge. There’s no shortage of good surf, good food and good vibes to let your troubles melt away.
So, it only makes sense that the GC’s quirky and colourfully captivating QT Hotel has become a destination for not just sleeping and eating in style, but for relaxing, too.
spaQ is QT Hotel’s answer to stress and busyness. With all of the creature comforts and retro fun the hotel is known for, spaQ is a world away from your traditional spa or salon experience – with some seriously cool services on offer. Whether you’re in need of a quick pick-me- up in the form of a mani, pedi or brow shaping, or in it for the long-haul, there’s a treatment for everything. And we mean everything.
Among the most popular signature services is the Skin Rescue which penetrates
over-exposed skin and hair and pampers you, literally, from head to toe. Starting with a foot ritual, you’ll then be treated to a warm oil back massage, then a nourishing hair mask to finish off. If you’re wanting to walk out of spaQ looking and feeling like a new and improved you, the Skin Rescue is your go-to.
Maybe you could be tempted by some facial therapy? With 30-, 60- and 90-minute
treatments, you (and your friend) can zone out while the spaQ experts pamper your
pores and massage away those frown lines. The Essential Focus Facial will help you
put your best face forward with a fresh, cleansed and toned complexion in just half-an-hour, while the Supernatural Men’s Facial is the perfect gateway for the sceptical guy to get into spa-ing.
The best part? With spaQ’s ‘neighbourly love’ offer, it’s that much easier for Gold
Coast locals to make R&R part of their routine. From Monday through to Thursday,services of one hour or longer will attract 10-20 per cent discount, plus benefits like free hotel parking, steam room and pool use and La Gaia herbal tea and glossy mags while you wait for your appointment. All this with just a flash of your driver’s licence, a utility bill or some other form of documentation that shows your postcode–zoning out and treating yo’self couldn’t be easier.
