Erbe Spa and Boutique (CLOSED)

Taking its name from the Italian word for herbs, this skin-care shop and spa is modeled after the traditional herbalist apothecaries found throughout Italy. Rome native Carmen Miraglia opened Erbe in 1988, and now spends most of her time tinkering with the brand’s all-natural formulas in her mother country. Descend into the subterranean, wood-laden space to browse the beautifully packaged products, including lightly scented lemon hand cream ($32) and calendula body lotion ($69), which naturally helps diminish the appearance of stretch marks. There are also three quaint treatment rooms for purifying aromatherapy facials (60mins, $120), essential-oil–based aromatherapy massages (60mins, $120), antioxidant-rich botanical compress facials (60mins, $160) and waxing ($20–$80).
