AN APOTHECARY FOR A NEW AGE:  
LINDEN SPA OPENS
AT THE INN AT PERRY CABIN ON CHESAPEAKE BAY

The Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Maryland, has announced that its new 6,000 square foot Linden Spa is now open.  The spa is named after the large Linden trees that line the brick driveway leading to the hotel, whose blooms will be used in many of the spa’s signature treatments. Linden trees were initially brought to the United States from Europe by early settlers and their white and yellow blooms were coveted for their beauty, medicinal purposes and bountiful honey and beeswax harvests.

Linden Spa’s focus is on “the botanical art of wellness,” harnessing the healing powers of local plants and herbs. The spa is grounded in the long-standing tradition of the apothecary, which was always strong in the Baltimore area in times past. To reflect this, treatment rooms are named after local flowers and trees that are known for their healing properties: Linden; Bayberry; Violet; Lemon Verbena; Rose; Marigold; and Lavender.

A full range of treatments are offered that will focus on pampering, rejuvenation and wellness.  Linden Spa’s signature treatment is The Linden Ritual. This spa journey begins by infusing linden flowers, black birch, sage, blackberry leaves, eucalyptus and rosemary into an herbal mixture with which the body is wrapped, allowing the guest to drift into a gentle sleep state as the body detoxifies. The lifting of toxins continues with a local salt and linden flower honey scrub. After being led to the cleansing alcove and draped in a towel, a shower with an herbal bath awakens and purifies body and spirit. The experience then continues back on the warm treatment table, where a four-handed massage of renewal is performed on the body.

Other standout treatments include: Five Flower Solace, in which five local flowers are infused into white clay to create a soothing, aromatic herbal mixture that is slowly massaged into the skin; the Botanical Complex Facial, a completely organic treatment of natural herbs and flowers customized to each person’s individual skin type; and the Youthful Renewal Facial, which combines the innovative science of bio-peptides - specific compound blends of complex amino acid protein extracts (the building blocks of healthy skin) - with gentle, natural application methods to increase oxygen supply to the skin and improve the moisture level.

The Linden Spa is built in the same Colonial style of architecture as The Inn at Perry Cabin, in a palate of cream, brown and blue accented with botanical prints. The relaxation room is decorated with panels of pressed flowers harvested from the Inn’s lush grounds.  

While at the spa, guests are able to rest in the indoor or outdoor relation rooms, take a dip in the infinity edge pool, detoxify in a steam room, find harmony in a yoga class, fine tune their fitness routine with a personal trainer or find that little pampering something to take home at the spa’s own apothecary.
