Langham Boston hotel plans to add spa

The Langham Boston, a luxury hotel in the Financial District, is adding a spa to its amenities, Serge Denis, the hotel’s managing director, told the Boston Business Journal.

The spa will be part of the new health club, known as Chuan Body and Soul. The club will span two floors, including the third floor — the site of the former health club. Seven guest rooms have been taken out of inventory to enlarge and update the health club and create the spa, which will feature two treatment rooms.

The renovated health club will also feature a juice bar, and locker rooms with saunas, along with a complete refurbishment of the pool and whirlpool.

The $3 million project has been pared down from previous plans to create a larger, more extensive spa. Denis said the cost of building a larger spa was prohibitive.

Construction started two months ago and should be complete sometime in April.

Yvonne Jones has come up with the Roxbury answer to the Newbury Street spa experience.

“There are so many people who need the services. Newbury Street, it’s pricier. You can’t find parking. I feel that this is one of the best places you can come for a spa treatment,” said Jones, who opened Halisi Day Spa & Salon on Melnea Cass Boulevard this month.

This is the first day spa venture for Jones, a former Boston public housing administrator who gave up her career in public and private housing to become a massage therapist.

What Jones came up with is a 2,100-square-foot day spa offering massages, facials, waxing, hair services, manicures and pedicures in Crosstown Center. 

Prices are in the $25 to $100 range for basic treatments like Swedish massage, skin care and facials, a wide variety of hair treatments, and manicures and pedicures. A full spa session of about three hours runs $199.

Halisi, which is the middle name of Jones’ daughter, is staffed with an aesthetician, nail technician, hair stylist and three massage therapists. Jones even convinced her longtime friend, hair stylist Zory Jenkins, to move back to Dorchester from Georgia to work at the spa.

Jones, who most recently worked as a massage therapist at Keldara Day Spa & Salon in Dedham, said she’s happy to have her own business in Boston.

“One day I was driving by, I saw the sign up and said, ‘This is where I want to be,’ ” she said.
