Don't miss the 11-hose hookah near the register - an 11th-anniversary gift last year from famed batik artist and pipe designer Jerome Baker. To complete the mood, choose from an array of rock-star incense, like the Bob Marley Variety Pack or Grateful Dead rose-scented sticks. Garments with stitched pockets for stashing keys and other "small personals" hang from treetop racks, alongside the usual whacked-out posters, tee shirts, tapestries and plastic-beaded curtains. Of course, this trippy, 12-year-old trove sells more than pipes. The shop also has less expensive and almost-as-cool water pipes in several media and an informative and friendly staff to show off the pageant of pipery. Double-sided glass means high quality, and can mean high prices, too - up to $200, but well worth it for a connoisseur.
With big-deal bong brands such as Zong, Kaos, Chalice and Chong, this shop is a smooth smoker's paradise. Sure, you could nap at home, but there's something about that tinkling fountain, the tropical foliage, the terry-cloth robe. Do not leave before spending, oh, a good half-hour in the "Swiss" shower.
To splurge, try the Sanctuary package - a body treatment (such as a wrap), a massage, a facial and a manicure/pedicure, at 50 minutes each, plus lunch, for $485, all gratuities included. Not only are the treatments excellent - we recommend a "therapeutic" massage at $110 for 50 minutes, despite the ominous brochure warning that it's "not recommended for a first-time treatment" - but the locker rooms are spacious and invite lolling and loitering. Take your stressed and tired bones to the Phoenician's Centre for Well-Being (we had to shave points off their final score for the affected spelling, but they still win) and stay all day. Modern yet understated, the telescopic steel rod is finished in a brushed nickel with faceted glass orb-shaped finials at each end to complete the look.To be perfectly honest, we wouldn't say no to any spa, anywhere, any time.īut even in this rarefied category, there are places that stand out.
