Guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation at North Carolina’s premier Umstead Hotel and Spa can now enjoy a refreshed spa menu at The Umstead Spa, with treatments focused on whole-body benefits and seasonal inspiration.
The updated spa menu highlights five autumn-inspired services designed to soothe, restore, and hydrate:
- The Piedmont Experience — A circulation-focused treatment that combines acupressure and a gentle rocking rhythm technique to stimulate blood and lymph flow. A warm herbal compression ball infused with aromatic herbs and spices helps release toxins and tension. Guests may take the compression ball home to enhance an at-home bath soak.
- Bergamot Aromatherapy Massage — This calming session uses the citrusy, soothing aroma of bergamot alongside light, broad Swedish massage strokes to relax the mind and ease muscle tension.
- Monarch Ritual — A restorative cocooning wrap that melts away stress while leaving skin supple. The treatment concludes with a deeply hydrating body milk application to nourish and soften the skin.
- De La Terre Autumn Skin Care — An organic, seasonally attuned skincare treatment tailored to address the specific needs of skin during the autumn months.
- The Bergamot and Grey Luxury Pedicure — A signature pedicure featuring a luxurious soak, exfoliation, and massage infused with bergamot aromas to relieve tension and calm inflammation. The service finishes with professional nail care, a Morgan Taylor polish application, and a cup of soothing Earl Grey tea.
Alongside these seasonal offerings, The Umstead Spa continues to provide its permanent menu of classic treatments. Highlights include the extensive Walk in the Woods four-hour escape and the new Emerald Experience, a treatment inspired by the detoxifying qualities associated with North Carolina’s prized gemstone.
Located in North Carolina’s scenic Piedmont region, The Umstead Hotel and Spa features 150 guestrooms and suites set among naturally landscaped grounds. The property offers comprehensive wellness amenities, including a seasonal outdoor pool with private cabanas, complimentary bicycles, locally sourced cuisine, and a three-acre lake with walking and recreational trails—an ideal setting for a restorative getaway.
