Time Trials

Spaahh at Hotel 1000 Express Menu

Wrestle with alarm clock at 7 a.m. Stalk bus by 8. Rally troops for Monday meeting. Engage office crush while tackling printer jam.

You’re an urban warrior all day long. Which explains your tired, aching body and those raggedy-ass nails.

Surrender to Hotel 1000, where the (unfortunately named) Spaahh just introduced a convenient lunchtime express menu.

Show up on weekdays between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for abbreviated, discounted versions of their signature treatments. Soothe your spine with aroma back relief (massage, exfoliation, hot-towel wrap), put your best face forward with a mini facial, or rejuvenate war-torn limbs with a mani/pedi.

In less than 30 minutes, you’ll feel refreshed, relaxed, and far less combative.

See? All you really needed was a quickie.

Spaahh at Hotel 1000, 1000 First Avenue, at Madison Street (206-357-9490 or hotel1000seattle.com).
