It's not easy to feel romantic when there are dishes in the sink, piles of bills on the coffee table, and dust bunnies threatening to hop out from under the bed. The obligations of the daily grind can sap your spirit, leaving you with no energy for grinding in bed.
Townhouse Spa is part spa, part lounge and all luxury. Appropriately tucked away in a beautifully restored townhouse on the West Side, this "social spa" has the perfect couple's package ($900 for 4 hours) to let you retreat from the everyday. After the two of you unwind in their private Phoenix Suite, your sexual energy will rise from the ashes.
Start with a taste: Townhouse begins the indulgence by offering you an aphrodisiac drink or dessert. Then inhale the sweet scent of the sensual Hammam Bath, its herbal infusion of orange blossom, iris, cedar, and rose detoxifying and cleansing you. Come together as a massage expert teaches you how to stretch your bodies to release your knots of tension. Lie back and relax, closing your eyes as you each get a soothing and purifying facial. A manicure and pedicure complete this delicious experience--no part of your body is neglected here. If you're looking for a little less foreplay, Townhouse still satisfies with a 2-1/2 hour Duo Package of Eastern Meridian massage, a one-hour facial, and their signature manicure ($500).

We bet that after four indulgent hours at this spa, you won't be able to wait to get your hands on each other. Lucky for you, the Chambers Hotel is right down the block, where you're guaranteed clean sheets and no dirty dishes.
