About

Corbu Spa & Salon opened inside The Charles Hotel in Harvard Square in September 2011, according to a Boston Globe online listing. Its name refers to the architect Le Corbusier, who designed one building in North America, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard, a short walk from the spa.

The spa occupies about 4,000 square feet and has seven treatment rooms, including a Room for Two with a Swiss shower. A full salon operates alongside the spa. The business describes itself as a place to step away from the pressures of city life. Its treatments are offered in line with The Charles Hotel's farm to spa table commitment.

Guests are given a robe and slippers to wear for the whole visit. The men's and women's changing rooms have showers, a steam shower and lockers. Please aim to arrive roughly 15 minutes ahead of your appointment; first-time visitors should leave extra time for changing and for filling in the Guest Intake Form, which collects relevant health information before any treatment begins. Phones must be powered down in every part of the spa and salon, the changing rooms and relaxation rooms among them.

The facial menu runs from a Classic Corbu Facial to several DDG facials, along with Hydrafacial, which combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection in a single session with no downtime. Kobido is a 30-minute facial massage sold as a Japanese facelift. Massage menus cover therapeutic, deep tissue, hot stone and prenatal sessions, and massage enrichments can be added in 15-minute increments. Hair services include cuts, shampoo, blow dry and styling, root touch-ups and highlights, and special treatments such as keratin and permanent wave services.

The spa draws on a farm to spa table idea, tied to the hotel's wider commitment to that movement.

A quiet hotel-based retreat in Harvard Square, with treatment rooms, steam showers and changing areas designed for a slower visit.
