Great Deals Corner
So I’m happy, because there’s a new spa in the Sheung Wan end of town. Ann Jema, a high-end day spa with branches in Paris, as well as all over China, has just opened up in L Place, and it has a great seasonal deal to drum up business. It has partnered up with fellow L Place tenant, Shore Steakhouse, for a spa-and-dine package that’s almost too good to pass up. For $1,080, you get a one hour-and-45-minute spa session, which includes a 30-minute body scrub with ginger and lemongrass, a 15-minute herbal bath with a head massage (decide your own comfort level when it comes to lying bare-assed in a bath while a stranger rubs your skull. They dim the room so it’s actually pretty OK), followed by a 60-minute therapeutic massage. Afterwards, you get to drift down for lunch at Shore, where you get a seared tuna salad and a healthy mocktail made with yogurt, apple juice, blueberries and chamomile tea. Believe me when I say it’s a good deal—on the regular spa menu, you’ll pay more than that for an hour-long massage on its own. The deal is on from now until September 30.
