One of the most important facilities a modern city boutique hotel should offer, is spa facilities. Especially in a Metropolitan city such as Athens, guests fly from all over the world to experience Greek history, Greek culture, Greek hospitality and Greek culinary. Often, guests spend more than ten hours on a plane to reach Athens and it’s more than revitalizing to get a massage upon arrival. In some cases guests are getting a massage right after their arrival at the city and few hours before their departure. A professional massage is the best choice after a jet luck! Be My Guest Athens hotel, via its sister company, Be My Guest Urban Spa, offers a big variety of massages such as Thai Massage, Oil Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Relaxing Massage, Sports Athletic Massage, Thai Foot Massage, Aromatotherapy Massage, Hot Candle Massage, Hot Stones Massage, various face massage treatments.

Deep Tissue Massage
This technique focuses on the area where muscle spasm and pain are present, releasing and relieving stress-relieving muscles.

A basic feature of this type of massage is that no oil is used and the recipient is dressed (with comfortable clothing) throughout the session. In addition, the traditional massaging bed is not used because the whole session is on a special mattress on the floor. Exercise techniques similar to yoga, as well as various forms of the healer’s pressures, are applied using various members of his body (such as fingers, palms, elbows, and lows). The therapist focuses on the body’s basic energy lines (always according to the ancient Thai tradition) in order to help release the energy flowing within us.
