Hotel Metropole is a hotel in central Avalon, on Catalina Island, a short walk from the beach. Its day spa, A Touch of Heaven, has its own space at the same address and takes spa bookings separately from hotel reservations. The hotel markets itself for romantic getaways, family and single stays, social gatherings, business meetings and weddings, and describes itself as the best hotel on the island.
The spa describes its setting as calm and peaceful, with soft music and trickling water. It says its treatments draw on native rocks and natural aromas found on the island. Treatments are described as using peppermint essential oil, lavender, and Paul Scerri and Hylunia products.
The core menu, Heavenly Touches, covers scalp massage, foot scrubs, a hand and foot treatment, an aromatherapy body polish, ear candling with lymph drainage, a mud wrap and a combined full body massage and facial. Several services pair a massage with a reflexology or scalp step, and the spa notes that its ear candling treatment is often followed by additional work. Follow-up treatments can be added to a visit.
Spa packages bundle several services with a room or a set amount of time. Options range from a short children's package with a massage and a mini facial, to a two-hour session for two, a longer day package with a lite lunch and a gift, and a men's package built around a gentlemen's facial and deep tissue massage. Appointments are booked by phone or email. Reservations are held by credit card or gift certificate, and cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice or no-shows are charged 50% of the scheduled service. Guests are asked to arrive a few minutes early so there is time to undress, rest and dress before the treatment.
The spa draws on island-sourced materials such as native rocks and natural aromas, and works with Paul Scerri and Hylunia products.
