Waldorf Astoria Washington DC — Himalayan Salt Therapy Room
Tucked into the old Post Office Pavilion's clock-tower building, the hotel spa's wellness ritual routes you through a room lined in slabs of pink Himalayan salt for halotherapy, then deposits you in a relaxation area with private resting 'cocoons' and a serenity fountain — all inside one of DC's most gawked-at federal landmarks-turned-luxury-hotel.
The move: Book the spa's Wellness Ritual (from $450) as a pair, breathe salt-suffused air side by side in the Himalayan salt room, then decompress together in the private resting cocoons before walking up the clock tower for the view.
