At the historic landmark Mission Inn in Riverside, California, Hollywood’s royalty have married before the magnificent 18k gold-covered altar, lit by Louis Comfort Tiffany windows in the St. Francis Chapel. It’s just one of the many marvels of this museum-like resort where brides, guests, and day visitors are made to feel like royalty at Kelly’s Spa. After a complimentary fresh-juice spa cocktail (Calm, Energize, Detoxify, or Refresh), you’re seated in the most comfortable throne for Kelly’s Signature Spa Pedicure. A four-step exfoliation, foot masque, and leg massage ends with a cucumber heel treatment, plus take-home nail polish. Go from queen to princess with a Fountain of Youth Signature Facial in which organic honey, colostrum, collagen, thermal masque, and more are combined with a lymphatic massage for an instant facelift. Afterwards, take your prince to a poolside couple’s suite, complete with a private outdoor shower, huge hydrotherapy tub, and side-by-side massage tables by a fireplace.
