here is no room for alternatives when a spa affirms its own presence so confidently. Rightly so, with a “menu” that offers a plethora of services and packages to cater to you personal grooming and relaxing needs.

An outrageously decadent spa, the Absolute Spa at The Century owns the top echelon category. Think lush, think tranquil, think relieved muscles as Absolute offers everything from rejuvenating water treatments to cleansing clay facials. Have a glass of champagne between in treatments.

From the basic mani/pedi to the complex (and non-surgical) butt lifter & tummy tuck spa treatments, ladies can treat specific problem areas with special treatments. Those with more time to lounge and pamper their bodies can try the Mom2Be, Pink Grapefruit Jet Lag recovery, or the divine Triple Continental Journey.

The city known as Hollywood north has its fair share of famous celebs shooting flicks, and Absolute is ready to accommodate with the VIP Day in the Celeb Suite or the Academy Award Full Body Spray Tan. In fact, this is where even J.Lo allegedly comes to for her custom nail polish.

As for delicious sounding treatments, the "Hot Chocolate and Whipped Cream" (rings up to $260.00) has your spa binge beginning with a full body chocolate blizzard scrub which is followed by a second course of a dark chocolate envelope body wrap. Still hungry? The "Honey Citrus Sorbet" ($160) gets you scrubbed with honey and salt to moisten and buff, then has you ending up in a tub of honey milk and fresh citrus, finishing with an effleurage of citrus cream.
