The moment you walk into The Spa by Mitchell’s you know you are in for something special. From the floor to the vaulted ceilings to the spectacular murals, it’s simply first class. The unique feature of The Spa by Mitchell’s is the dedication not only to healthy skin and relaxation, but also full salon services for healthy hair, too. The hydrotherapy tub is phenomenal, and the pedicure chair is technology and convenience like you probably haven’t seen before. The Spa Signature Package is highly recommended.
