Restore Spa

I found Restore through a 3 60-​min massage Groupon special, and I am SO grateful! The booking process was easy and they were very accommodating (do not worry if their online system says that no times are available for months, they can always fit you in!). All three massages were deep tissue, and each was with a different masseuse — all were absolutely wonderful! The suite is small, clean, and cozy, receptionists were attentive, all in all, great experiences. Highly recommend!

Came here for a massage I got on Groupon. Place was really cute, girl at the desk and my masseuse were really nice. Would definitely come here again.

Had my first massage experience today and it was great. The massage therapist was very professional and understanding. I told her that I had extra tension in my neck so she focused on that area more during the 60-​minute massage. Afterwards, the tension completely disappeared and I felt renewed and relaxed. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and will be coming back!

Great massage, clean area, great customer service. Het there 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork about what your needs and expectations are for the massage. I.E. types of pain you are experiencing.

This was only my second massage ever and i used a groupon for the 30 minute massage. They were completely accommodating and allowed me to pay extra to extend it to an hour. The woman who massaged me was fantastic and definitely focused more on my shoulders and back which is what I had requested. She made sure to work out all the knots in my back, and there were quite a few of them. I will absolutely go back for such a great experience!

I purchased a one hour massage section thru group on, i got the massage on 5÷16÷2016 great massage and excellent therapist. I will definitely do it again.

This is my second time at Restore Spa and both times have been amazing. I have been to a lot of places around the city and may love them the first time but then I go back and have a bad experience. Restore Spa is consistent and the therapists are really good and knowledgeable.

Professional, high quality experience. Scheduling was easy. The scalp massage and hot stone massage were amazing! Sabrina was great!

The ladies from Restore Spa came to my job and I regret only having 10 minutes with them. Even though it was only 10 minutes, it was the most relaxing 10 minutes I have had in over a year! Thank you for all you do and making the world feel more relaxed.

My husband booked 2 30-​minute couple massages from Groupon. We were running late because we were unaware of a festival that had the road blocked. They were however, understanding and still allowed us to have our full 30mins. The massage therapists were pleasant and applied adequate pressure. We enjoyed it and will probably go back!

My sister got me a 1-​hr massage at Restore Spa as a Christmas gift and I finally cashed in– it was everything my back was crying for. Brie did an exceptional job working my knots, taking her time, hitting every inch of my body.
The space is clean and welcoming. I arrived 10-​min early and was promptly shown to my massage. If you need a spot in center city for a massage, this place is it.

Facials/​massages can typically cost an arm and a leg. Thankfully, Groupon had a nice option for a 1-​hour service at Restore: 30 mins hot stone body massage, 30 mins scalp massage, or 30 mins foot reflexology. My only lament about this option is that there isn’t an option to add a 30-​min facial unless you want to pay for a 2-​hour service, which drives the price up.
Like many spas, Restore has a cancellation fee ($ 35) but they can also cancel your appointment if you show up more than 10 mins late and make you rebook (and thus pay the cancellation fee), so you should definitely plan accordingly since it’s located in the middle of Center City and parking can be an issue. If you’re on foot, then it’s a non-​issue. I also filled out the pre-​massage form online prior to the appointment, so that can save you from having to do it right before your massage.
Once you hit the 7^th floor of the building Restore is in, there are no signs/​indicators of which way you should head from the elevator (left or right?). Thankfully, there was a service person in the elevator with me and she directed me to the left. The waiting room is on the smaller side but being dimly lit, with a bright fish tank and its soothing bubbling noises from the filter, you feel like you’re entering a more peaceful environment already. One of the staff offered me a glass of water while I briefly waited for my masseuse.
My masseuse was very good. So good, in fact, that I actually had to ask her to apply less pressure. The foot reflexology actually includes a massage up to the ankles, which I found very relaxing. They also apply a lotion (smelled like something shea-​butter related) to the feet. The only qualm I had with this was that when wiping you down at the end, they don’t completely wipe off the shea butter from your soles/​toes, so I actually felt that to be kind of uncomfortable when sliding my shoes back on. Overall, I definitely enjoyed my experience and I’d come back. Oh, and I did I mention they give you 30 mins of a free massage or foot reflexology if you write a review? Double bonus!

I quite enjoyed my hour-​long massage at Restore. The atmosphere was clean and tranquil, I escaped the noise of the city upon entering their facility. Once there, I was warmly greeted by the receptionist, and barely had to wait until I was ushered to a room (lovely décor, btw) and given a massage. My therapist was great, firm yet gentle, and paid attention to my requests. I’ll certainly return!

My boyfriend and I came to Restore after purchasing a Groupon for a 30 minute couples massage. It was a great experience! The spa was easy to find, had friendly and courteous staff from the front desk to the massage therapists, and a relaxing atmosphere. My message therapist gave a thorough and diligent massage, including finding and working on knots in my back. My boyfriend’s only complaint was that 30 minutes was too short! We look forward to coming back again for longer massages!

One of the best massages I’ve had in Philadelphia! I received a groupon as a gift and scheduled a 60 minute Swedish massage. I had James and he was great! He really focused on my problem areas and I felt so relaxed after my massage. Everyone was very kind and concerned with making sure I had a pleasant visit. I will definitely be back!

I used a Groupon for a couple’s massage at Restore Spa and both my girlfriend and I were happy with our massages. Fabia was a great masseuse and I will definitely go back and recommend her to others. Great location, atmosphere, and overall relaxing experience.

I love Restore! Great location and reasonable prices. This time I had the express facial, the masseuse was great and made the experience very comfortable. The hot towel was the best and my face feels amazing! Will definitely be back :)

I attended Restore Spa for a couples massage. Everyone was extremely friendly, the facility was very clean and you felt welcome. They listened to your needs and ensured you were enjoying yourself throughout the entire experience. I appreciated that they had you fill out a survey as to what you want from the experience and areas to focus on.
It was very relaxing and restoring, I felt amazing afterwards. I will definitely be back!

I bought a Groupon for a 30 minute massage for 2 and went with a friend of mine. I was extremely happy with this purchase!
The location is perfect (right in center city at 16^th and Walnut), the staff was professional, the ambiance was calm and relaxing and the massage was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed the massage so much that I actually signed up for the VIP membership because it’s a fantastic deal and I can’t wait to schedule more appointments.
I would definitely recommend Restore Spa.

Sabrina was great. Very professional and attentive. Purchased the deep tissue massage on Groupon, and it was very easy to schedule. Lots of pressure for the deep tissue massage, which I personally wanted and liked.

Awesome massage — 1 hour muscle relief — by Fabia. Had so much tension in my body and felt fatigued going in. Was very refreshed leaving. Will be coming back !!!

I got a groupon for this place and I was very pleased with my purchase! They did not treat me like a discounted customer 1 bit! The building is downtown Philadelphia so the parking was a bit tricky, but I made sure to show up early enough as not to have that problem.
when I went in the door it was very nice inside, very relaxing, and I was greeted by the friendly staff lady up front. she checked me and & had me fill out the form to be treated. I was quickly seen and taken care of and very pleased with my massage, she worked on my back and legs at a perfect pressure to leave me feeling very relaxed and rested, feeling FANTASTIC!
If you need a massage do yourself and favor and go to restore spa for a very relaxing perfect day at the spa!

So I bought 1 hour muscle relief from Groupon to this spa and I couldn’t be more happier
First of all its a good deal and this is not my 1^st :)
The massage was relaxing
The ambience is calming
Everything was excellent!
Highly recommended
I’m thinking buying some more me time
I tried 30 minutes facial as well i loved it!

I just tried 2 hrs treatment at Restore spa. Ambiance was cozy and front desk staff was very nice. Asked if I liked treatment afterward. 2 hour treatment include 30 min expressfacial, scalp massage, hotstone massage and foot scrubs. 30 min express facial was very very short. There was not enough time to do massage etc. Wish they include oil massage and extend to one hour treatment. For scalp, hotstone and foot scrub were very very good. One thing I dislike, I had to switch the room after my facial. Wearing gown and had to move to another room carrying my bag and shoes. Wish they do entire treatment in one room so I can relax entire time. Overall very satisfied experience. I made next appointment already. Will go back.

Went to Restore for the first time after purchasing a Groupon for a two-​hour spa treatment– this included a 30-​minute express facial, 30-​minute warm volcanic-​stone body massage, 30-​minute peppermint scalp massage, 30-​minute peppermint foot scrub with reflexology. I didn’t have any trouble with the online scheduling, and actually prefer it to scheduling over the phone. I had to book my appointment a few weeks out, but I don’t think that’s uncommon for spas. I was contacted to reschedule, but only because of the Pope visit which is understandable. They were able to book me the very next day at any time I wanted, no problem.
I was offered water as soon as I arrived, and my appointment starting promptly with the facial– the woman was very nice (although I did not catch her name). I have very sensitive skin which I noted on my intake form, and she definitely tried her best to accommodate. At the end she also gave some tips for skincare. I don’t usually enjoy facials because of my sensitive skin, but I felt like she was very attentive and accommodating. And she didn’t push me to buy any products.
Next, my stone massage, scalp massage and foot scrub were all done by Tia. This was by far the best massage I’ve ever had in the city. I don’t think the scalp massage lasted 30 min but that was completely fine with me as I enjoyed the massage with stone more anyway– I have never been so relaxed in my life (I think I even dozed off for a minute). At the end she offered me water and even a glass of wine.
Because I was in a rush to get to the appointment from work– I totally spaced on hitting the ATM for cash for gratuity. I will say that leaving the tip envelope with my water at the end was a little presumptuous and could be slightly off-​putting, but I thought she more than deserved a tip so I was happy to give one (not sure why other reviewers were so shocked by this). I was able to run to the ATM even though they were closing and they waited for me to return. I will definitely be booking again soon!
