The last time you stopped to enjoy the wildflowers, you proceeded to throw a tantrum as cars whizzed by and your mom bribed you for the ubiquitous road-side bluebonnet shot.
Time to try again… at the new JW Marriott’s stunning Lantana Spa, where the menu is a nod to the Texas landscape. Native flowers and all-natural extracts are used in luxurious treatments based on traditional Hill Country restorative rituals. Consider an herbal massage that blends Rio Grande Valley citrus blossoms with sunflowers, or local lavender with juniper. There’s a coffee bean scrub that eliminates stress of the daily grind with a tobacco, sarsaparilla, honey and black silt clay mixture, topped off with a yummy bourbon vanilla body lotion. Add on a Texas caviar facial or wildflower foot bath before an al fresco stroll, and you’ll feel like you’re getting the Lone Star treatment.
Yep, this is the sort of place where Lady Bird would have lunched.
