The Arrival of the Airport Spa
Absolute Spa
Vancouver International Airport, The Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel
With four different locations, Absolute has practically turned this airport into a resort. Choose from a mile-long list of treatments at the attached Fairmont Hotel, or quicker treatments at the smaller locations. Gals can hit one of the in-terminal branches for a 30-minute Express Manicure ($40) or an even speedier nail-polish change (15 minutes, $30). Scruffy-feeling guys can freshen up with an old-fashioned hot-towel, straight-razor shave (45 minutes, $55). Head to the Fairmont location for a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage with mango-coconut oil ($105 for an hour) or a cellulite-reducing body wrap to offset all those food-court snacks (45 minutes, $110). Catch a few z's in a private rest suite (available at the in-terminal branches). A half hour in a reclining lounger with an eye pillow and piped-in ambient music ($20) is the next best thing to first class. Open Sunday-Thursday, 9am-8pm; Friday and Saturday, 9am-9pm; 604/248-2772; absolutespa.comThe Draw
