I took my wife to the spa for our anniversary. I was very nervous as I have never been to a spa before and had no idea what to expect. We got the small spa package which was a massage manicure and a pedicure. I dont know why i waited to have any of these things done to my body. My massage was with Spirit she was amazing, I felt fully comfortable talking with her before hand and she put my body into bliss. My wife loved her massage as well (sorry I dont remember the name of the person who did her massage). We then went in for our manicure and pedicure with Becky and Brian they were great too. I got to sit next to my wife and hold her hand while they did out feet. They were very professional and fun, It did not hurt that we were served a couple glasses of wine. All in all it was a fantastic experince, I know that we will be returning soon. Thanks to everyone that day

Pros: Freindly professional staff

I am a massage therapist and generally against large spas for bodywork . When 3 of my friends came into town and wanted a spa day I was reluctant but ended up pleasantly suprised ! My massage was one of the best I've ever had, not the usual weak, slathering of lotion most spa/hotel therapist deliver.I loved the complimentary hot towel foot wash at the end - no greasy feet! The 2 hour facial was amazing! It's much more than just your ordinary facial- foot bath,massage,lyphatic therapy in 2 hours of total relaxation.Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable but down to earth, not all about pushing products constantly.Also, we enjoyed the private room they have for small groups (a great place to chat and sip complimentary tea or wine) and the steam room.They also have a gym and yoga studio that we could have used ,but we got side tracked by the wine! The beautiful historic building added the final touch of decadence. This place is worthy, special occasion or not.

I made my appointment an hour before I wanted it, so they were able to fit me in which was good. I went there for a brazillian wax, and the woman who did mine, swore the whole time. And told me that she wanted to get this done as fast as she could. She was all over the place, so the wax dripped all over my legs, which in the end, she made me clean up. She made me hold different parts of my legs, and at times she would say "Yeah, this one is going to hurt." Hearing this when someone is about to do something like waxing to you, is not professional. She made me uncomfortable, and afterwards, I had been burnt by the wax, and there was still a lot of hair in places there should not have been. I would not reccomend the waxing part of this place, though I would never go back for any of their other accomendations.

Pros: Could make an appointment on short notice

Cons: people were rude

I don't understand the appeal. Year after year the Oxford Spa is ranked as one of the top spas in Denver. I have always only had rushed appointments, rude front desk clerks and how can they not provide parking? I vowed never to return after a miserable factory like massage 8 months ago but was given a gift card for a recent event. I really went in with an open mind hoping for a few hours of much needed relaxation. Alas, the bikini wax was rushed and sloppy. Then, I awkwardly witnessed my tech yell over the balcony, in front of other guests. to the reception attendant that I had upgraded the service, apparently by asking her to even the hair line. My massage was amazing, really. I was so pleased and thought, maybe I have been too critical in the past. Then, the woman checking me out said I owed additional money even though the cost of both services fell well within the gift card amount, tips included?! When I questioned her math and her reasoning, as she fumbled with a calculator in her hand, she raised her voice and questioned if I could afford what she claimed was the difference! I was so humiliated after some back and forth, I gave her the cash and left mumbling: this is why I never come here, they drain the relaxation right out of you. There are countless other Denver spas with more intimate settings and kinder staffs who are interested in assuring their clients enjoy a few hours of luxury.

Pros: the building is a historical wonder

This is the most amazing spa I have found in Denver! The historic charm and ambiance I just love it! I received the Dr. Hauschka Classic Treatment facial from Lizzy what a treat. It was two hours of pure bliss unlike any other facial I have ever had, and Lizzy is such an amazing therapist. I would recommend that everyone try this facial!

I just had the most wonderful experience at the Oxford Club. I received a Moor Mud Bath with Michael that was just phenomenal. He really took time to understand what I was looking to get out of my massage- I explained how stressed out I had been and that I was there to simply relax- and relax I did!!! My body was exfoliated and then I got to soak in a beautiful clawfoot tub- I felt like I was something in an old western and when I was finished my skin felt like butter. Usually I am accustomed to a fluff and buff massage during a specialty treatment like this, but I was pleasantly suprised when he gave me one of the best massages I have ever had. Although I don't normally chose male therpaist- I felt very comfortable with Michael- he rocks!!!
