Remède Spa

AMAZING!
My girlfriend took me here for a day of total luxury. We were greeted by a warm and attentive staff when we arrived and handed luxurious robes, towels, slippers, lemon water and cucumber slices. We padded over to the jacuzzi and whirlpool, then the sauna, then the huge and beautifully furnished rooftop pool, where the waiter rolled in a cart with champagne. Next we had salt scrub massages. I’ve never felt so spoiled in my life! Still glowing. Thank you for a day to remember!

I received one of the best massages in my life here! You get what you pay for here and the massage and services were worth every penny. When we arrived we were brought to the locker room to undress entirely (even your undergarments). You safely store your belongings in a locker equipped with slippers, a warm, cozy robe, and towels. We were brought to the lounge prior to our massages where refreshments were offered. Options included: tea and fruit infused water, truffles (that were to die for), dried fruits, and nuts. The lounges were separated by sex. I didn’t get a chance to dip into the goodies because my masseuse came to grab me as I was taking photos for Unilocal.I opted for the 90 minute deep tissue massage. Every second of it was phenomenal! From the heated bed to the lavender oil treatment to the sensational massage that Daniel provided – I was in heaven. I had no complaints. I left feeling destressed and refreshed. After the massage, we hung out in the lounge and snacked on the goodies. We didn’t bring our bathing suits, so we couldn’t check out the heated pool, jacuzzi, and saunas together. I got to briefly check out the dry and wet sauna for a couple minutes. It really helps with opening up your pores so that you can exfoliate after and have glowing skin. This spa was inclusive of all the amenities with your massage package so I would advise to block out a couple hours in your day to relax. In he locker room, shavers, dry shampoo, lotion, mouthwash, qtips, cotton balls, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash is offered so no need to bring your own! I will definitely be coming back for the full experience once I fill up my wallet.

While we were pleased with our services for me the place lacked a lot of ambience. Not what I expected for that price range spa. It was not a luxurious spa by any means… lounges etc were so– so. The vichy shower body treatment was unique. After an exfoliating scrub you lie on the table and have six shower heads run water over your body from above. it was quite trippy. We were disappointed we could not use the pool because we did not bring a bathing suit and it was coed. We feel they should have given us a heads up about that. It was over $ 400 for our two treatments and I just didn’t feel that I would go back there again… I would go to a place that made you feel like it was more of a pampering experience.

I just had customized massage at the Remède Spa by Maya and it was the best I’ve ever had. At the end they have truffles and champagne!

Not too happy with service. Was told we were too loud in the manicure room when we were just casually talking as a group. Why say we can all sit in that room if we aren’t allowed to talk?!? Also the door to the manicure room isn’t even a door! It’s a sliding panel with space on both sides!!! Anything can be heard with a door like that! For the price and reputation of Remede spa, I expect more from them.

This is a wonderful spa! Beautiful décor, wonderful gym and nice lap pool. I gave it five stars as the massage was wonderful and the service very nice. Women and men have separate locker rooms and waiting rooms, along with jacuzzi steam and sauna.
Don’t be fooled by south of market location! It is next to Sfmoma and across from Moscone Center. South of market is now plenty happening!

We went for a 90 minute couples massage. I did a lot of research beforehand, and decided this was our best option. The massages were indeed top notch. The facilities, however, left a little to be desired. I understand that this is a city location, and that space is at a premium, so it’s not going to be as big as locations we’ve experienced in other cities, but this spa was lacking on its attention to detail.
In the men’s locker room area there were plastic vent covers that were yellowing. Improper screws had long ago rusted, and discolored the materials around them. The wood in the dry sauna has become discolored in spots, deteriorated in others, and should be replaced or refinished. No hair gel left me without a suitable option.
Overall, it felt like they’ve tried to save some money on the space, which is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. None of these things inhibited the usage of the space, but I can get the same neglected facilities from my gym back home. It definitely wasn’t what I expected for the $$$$.

Great treatments and service, spacious and clean locker room area, but very expensive. Particularly since the waiting area (more specifically, a small couch and chair) is not the least bit relaxing, and right in front of the staff elevators. Thus, you’re in a robe and slippers while people are zipping by, even transporting dirty linens right in front of you. Quite odd.

When going to a spa, it is important to me to be able to find a chaise and take a nap. This spa did not have this type of thing. It had just a small room downstairs with two couches. The spa itself was updated and pretty and there were some people that really loved their services, but my girl was a bit green for my massage. There were actual times when it hurt, and it wasn’t a good hurt. I also felt that the jacuzzi, pool and showers had a weird smell to them. There were no plastic bags in the spa for your bathing suit. There were also no bathrooms on the same floor as the waiting room. What a first world problem to be rating a spa poorly but I gotta do what I gotta do.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful spa day at Remede. My husband and I always stay at the St. Regis when we visit San Francisco. The spa is very nice, but I must say that my massage therapist, Adrienne, made the experience absolutely heavenly! I had a 90-​minute Deep Tissue Massage, as I had recently hurt my neck and was in severe pain. I have a bit of arthritis and Torticollis in my neck and have ongoing muscle spasm issues that occasionally flare up in my back. Needless to say, I have had a LOT of massages. This was a pretty pricey day, so the spa experience at Remede may not be for everyone. Between shopping and the spa, though, I believe I made the better choice! I walked out feeling as though I was walking on a cloud, and with full range of motion restored! Adrienne was professional, thorough, and sweet as can be! Afterward, I had a lovely lunch delivered at the indoor pool, complete with champagne. The facilities are clean and well-​kept, and the entire spa staff go above and beyond to make you feel pampered in every way! I will most definitely request Adrienne again, for future massages.

I went for the 60 minute mud wrap. Wow. I’m usually not one for skin treatments because I have very sensitive skin that reacts to almost everything. The mud wrap caused no reaction which will definitely mean I’m coming back.
The treatment begins with a soft brushing of your skin to prepare it. Next the mud is applied and the wrapping is applied. While it is allowed to set, the person performing your treatment does some scalp massage and aromatherapy. After around 20 minutes of utter relaxation they wash away the mud. Once rinsed, a soothing body oil is massaged into your skin. Divine.
The setting is fantastic, so quiet I thought I was the only person there… To me that’s perfection. Prior to your treatment you are encouraged to use their steam, sauna and jacuzzi. Then escorted to a nice comfortable room filled with water, tea, dried fruit and chocolates and of course offered champagne.
I’m so glad I tried this place. Will definitely be back…

I love this spa. Everyone that works here is fabulous and anticipates your needs before you know you need anything.
I love Dennis. He is fantastic and gives the best massages. I look forward to coming back just because of him. He incorporates multiple massage styles when he creates a custom massage just for my needs.
Amazing. Thank you, Dennis and cannot wait to come back to see you!!!

EXCELLENT service all around! I truly felt pampered and relaxed! My aesthetician Lynh did a fabulous job on my extended bikini wax! She was attentive, gentle, considerate, professional! I didn’t feel awkward
. All service staffs at Remede Spa were attentive, polite, and professional. Another wonderful experience at the SF Remede Spa. I don’t want to go any where else for waxing any more.

One of my favorite spas when I want to splurge. I first went to the spa about 6 years ago for deep tissue and facial. Went back again last month. The masseuse referenced his notes and remembered my preferences and verified them with me at the beginning. One of the best deep tissue massages (and I’m really critical of style and pressure of deep tissues — most can’t apply enough pressure)! I’m not usually a big fan of scalp massages (will tolerate it), but it was amazing — I think i fell asleep. And what’s not to love about a place that serves complimentary champagne and chocolate truffles, has an indoor infiniti pool, etc. Both times I’ve been there, I have not been disappointed. The prices are pretty steep, which is why I only go about once every 5 years, but very much worth it.

My massage therapist Giovan Medrano was amazing and fantastic and I give him five stars all the way. He asked me what I’d like to focus on and I said my neck and shoulders. He gave me a full body massage, but did spend extra time working out the kinks in my neck and shoulders and it felt like heaven.
It was one of the best massages I have ever had, and I have had massages at the Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara, Bacara, Rosewood Hotel in Menlo Park, Bliss in NYC, Ojai Valley Inn, and even Wat Phở in Bangkok.
I give an overall four stars because Spa Remede has a really nice, upscale atmosphere and lovely, helpful staff, but since it is a city spa, it is not as spacious or luxurious as other spas I have been to where they have outdoor pools and sunshine to bask in. (Spa Remede’s infinity pool is an indoor pool with large, bright windows overlooking the city.)
That said, Spa Remede is probably the best choice for an upscale/​quality spa massage experience in San Francisco. It has a nice-​sized sauna, steam room and jacuzzi tub, which you can use to your heart’s content before and after your massage. I kind of wished they had a cold plunge too, so I could intermittently cool off.
There are big comfy couch chairs to relax in. They also offer you champagne and have little fruits and chocolates in the room where you wait for your therapist to come get you.
Parking for the day is ridiculously expensive at the hotel, so we parked in a garage that is down a short way from the hotel on Minna Street.
By the way, my one-​hour massage with tip came out to $ 198. Pricey, but definitely worth it in this case. It was a splurge to hang out with a good girlfriend and get massages.

Great way to get my first professional massage done. I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but my therapist was very courteous and asked me continuously if I was comfortable which I appreciated. I liked the fact that she put a lot pressure which loosen the muscles up. The 60 minute massage goes by quick so enjoy it.

I hate to write a bad review, but for the price and what I received it really wasn’t a good experience. I arrived with my business partner for two messages and for some reason they did not have both of our appointments and only one spot for a message. A bit frustrating, but these things happen and I said I would do a facial instead.
The girl who did my facial was sweet and very nice, but it was a horrible facial. No real understanding of how to apply the different products or message them on. In addition, she spent a good deal of time trying to remove a mask and when I left I still had pieces of the mask stuck in my hair. I also noticed when I got home that they had upgraded my facial which I was never asked about.
Overall it was a very disappointing experience and I would not go back. This was my second time giving Remede Spa a shot and it did not go well.

Everyone was helpful & friendly the moment I checked in for my BDay spa day w/​my girlfriends. We were unfortunately out-​numbered by a much larger and very vocal BDay party in the quiet waiting area/​lounge (operative word being quiet) as well as the locker room (sorry, girls gone wild truly came in mind and I’m embarrassed to even mention what took place). I heard finally a staffer came to politely say something to the group of girls.
Any way, the facility was wonderful — gym, pool, lounge area by the pool, steam room (wish there was more eucalyptus scent), jacuzzi and shower. We had a great time catching up over a cocktail and shared a short rib quesadilla by the pool (gotta love their room service but do pre-​order to avoid the 30min wait). My therapist — Dan was punctual and extremely attentive throughout my deep tissue massage. I especially love the warm towel over my back and his amazing neck treatment followed by tilting the bed w/​me to fully support my sore neck.
I relaxed afterwards in the lounge area and enjoyed an assortment of beverages (champagne, herbal tea & LOT of cucumber water to flush out the toxin after a massage). They also provided truffles, the usual almonds & dried fruits which was adequate for that price tag. Speaking of which, my girlfriends were nice enough to treat me but of course the front desk mistakenly charged it to my cc as my card was on file for the reservation. I ended up spending my bday disputing the charge w/​both the spa and my cc company as St. Regis insisted they had no record of my charge. It took them a little while to realize the front desk person actually made a mistake in charging my card as well as my friends’, and had since voided it w/​o notifying anyone!
Definitely looking forward to future visits MINUS all the unnecessary drama :)

For $ 90, I felt like the massage should have been longer.
And she should have capped off my toes with the top coat. Details, lady.
And she should have asked the shape I wanted, she did square, I came in w/​sq round.
And she should have refilled my tea when my tea was low.
And she should have scrubbed my shins till all the dead skin fell off.
And she should have shut the hell up and let me enjoy my 60 min micro exfoliating pedicure, instead of chatting me up and upselling me on the products.
Is that too much to ask?
Awesome snacks, truffles only on the weekends. Only Essie polish, thank god I brought my own.

We had a two-​star experience at the spa and sent the letter below to the manager. Within minutes we had a call back, and apology and a $ 20 refund for each of us. So +1 star for the good response — but I don’t expect to go back.
«I had a disappointing experience in your spa yesterday, along with my
husband.
Early in the massage, my massage therapist asked (for the first time)
if I wanted more pressure and I said „yes.“ I was surprised when she
told me that would require an additional charge. I indicated that the
charge was acceptable to me, but I must tell you I don’t like getting
a surprise solicitation for an upcharge while I am naked, lying face
down in a darkened room.
I’ve gone to a ton of high-​end spas in my life, and this was a first.
I didn’t like it.
My husband’s experience was similar, but worse. When he told his
massage therapist that he would like more pressure, there was no
discussion of an additional charge. And yet, there it was, +$ 20, on
our bill. I think a surprise charge — with no warning at all — is
inappropriate. I believe we deserve a refund for that charge, plus the
additional tax and tip that went on top of it.
Remede charges some of the highest prices in the city for massages.
That’s part of the reason we chose to give you a try. We were
surprised to be nickeled-​and-​dimed on top your already high prices. It
left a very bad taste.
Another issue: my massage therapist got very frustrated with me
for not being able to relax my limbs. I was really trying to work with
her. But it became even harder to relax because she was clearly upset
and frustrated with me. Guess what? By the time I left, instead of
feeling relaxed, I was upset and frustrated with her, too.»
A couple additional points. The set-​up of the spa is very fragmented: treatment rooms on one floor, locker rooms on another; you need a staff member to buzz you back into the locker rooms if you visit the pool. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it keeps you from wandering around freely to enjoy the place.
The men’s locker room has no place to relax and sit, just a bench in the tiny locker room. If you want to take a break in between, say, the steam room and the sauna there is no place to do it without leaving the locker room.
All in all, I’m sticking with the Nob Hill Spa!

Oh yes… we fancy son! Bf & I did a couples massage for my b-​day. My masseuse had the most heavenly hands yet still gave me an effective massage. Bf also said he really enjoyed his massage as well. 60 minutes went by way too fast! The table was nicely heated and I loved how they wiped us down with towels to get the oils off. I also got a complimentary foot scrub with my massage… which is nice for my flip flop wearing feet.
As wonderful as the massage was we can’t forget the amenities of the St. Regis’ Remede Spa. The lounge was filled with the most delish truffles & we were offered a glass of champagne after our massage. Yes, oh so luxurious! The locker rooms had pretty much every necessity though I didn’t use the steam room, showers or jacuzzi since we were in a rush to check in & get ready for dinner reservations.
Can’t wait to come back to enjoy another massage or more treatments in the future!
