Ahh Struck

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel

Eating? Easy, given the right chef. Loving? Lovely, given the right paramour. Spa-ing? Spastic, given the right aesthetician, service, and location (that’s not booked through Y3K).

Not so if you reserve one of the first treatments at the Four Seasons’s spanking-new spa.

Expect a full-service menu (waxing, paraffin, Arcona-infused facials) with a decidedly Southern touch (specials like the pomegranate polish, vanilla coffee scrub, and peaches and cream mani/pedi were created special for Atlantans).

You’ll relax with couples massages, urban detox wraps, and peels in rooms named for flowers (like Magnolia, Gardenia, Dogwood, and Lavender). Once you slip through the semiprivate entrance to the indoor saltwater pool and lounge-chaired sundeck, leaving won’t be easy.

But getting along should be a painless task.

The kind where you don’t mind lifting a finger or two.
