Let’s face it - Victoria Park tends to only come up on our radar when we are trying to find parking for a Flames game. But with aged houses being replaced by high rise living, this inner city neighborhood is now the place to find Calgary’s hottest new spots.
One such find, nestled on the second floor of the new Arriva condos, is Liv Spa. This is luxury at its finest, from its serene dark wood interior to its glorious lineup of treatments (and the organic hot chocolate we sipped on while waiting was a welcome perk).
First on our list of must-trys was their Signature Caviar Facial ($215, also available in manis and pedis) that is so full of the little fishy rich extract that we could actually see those fine lines plump out.
To get rid of that excess plump on the rest of our bodies we downward dogged it in a private yoga session ($95) with one of their personal trainers. With no hiding in the back row in this class, we immediately headed for a much needed Jade Stone Massage ($230) which used both hot and cold stones to make those aching muscles feel like butter.
A final soak in Calgary’s first mineral pool to rid ourselves of the last toxins and we hadn’t felt this good in ages.
Welcome to the new Victoria Park - what a way to Liv!!
