A longtime OMAAT reader who asked to remain anonymous shared an interesting story with me. I have my own thoughts on this, and I’d be curious to hear how others feel…
Look, I get that it happens in many places in the world, but I was shocked to see it happen at a Four Seasons. I reached out to the manager (personal email) and the hotel, but never heard a response. Shocking, especially as I had stayed there eight times in the past nine months before.
Regarding the first point, it seems that norms around happy ending massages in “luxury” environments differ significantly around the globe. In some parts of Asia, it’s my understanding that this is considered to be totally normal, especially among local clientele, even in a “legitimate” spa. It’s a different story in the United States, which isn’t to say that it doesn’t happen in high-end environments, but at least I imagine it’s not as common.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
