Summer Sun and Skin at Four Seasons

We’ll get to some skincare recommendations in just a second, but first, this tidbit might be the best summer-luxury hack we can offer: Clients who book a treatment at The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville get access to the hotel’s seventh-floor infinity pool and hot tub for that day. 

Yes, that includes locals who aren’t staying overnight.

And yes, that means valet parking is validated for up to six hours. 

That’s long enough to enjoy a daylong staycation to rest up from the mayhem of May and prepare body and mind—and skin—for the arrival of summer.

“Summer skincare in Nashville shifts from a hydration focus in winter to a focus on environmental protection and using products to achieve a light, clean glow,” says Spa aesthetician Allison Chetakian. With the seasonal transition to summer, Allison recommends drinking more water, swapping out rich creams for light lotion moisturizers, and treating sunscreen as “non-negotiable.”

Heightened humidity and additional sunscreen bring additional need for cleansing, and The Spa offers multiple treatments, featuring products from Omorovicza and Pietro Simone, for skin and scalp.

Most treatments last between 50 and 80 minutes, but there are opportunities to upgrade to even greater indulgence. For example, how about a 100-minute Aurum Radiance facial with 24-karat gold activation peel and a 24-karat gold leaf structuring and regenerative massage? 

Or a body treatment with honey and whiskey salt scrub and a clementine-and-vanilla shea butter cocoon?

“This is the luxury experience that Nashville has always wanted,” says Spa manager Coleman Phillips of the menu of facials, massages, body treatments, and hair and nail care. Another hot tip: The Spa offers midweek discounts through the Wednesdays Unplugged program, when some deep-cleansing facials and hand-crafted massages are $149 instead of $199.

Once you’re all blissed out with glowing skin, hair and nails, relax poolside or in the adjacent Rivière Rooftop restaurant, which debuted a new Mediterranean-inspired menu in May, just in time for summer on the sun-kissed seventh floor.
