Luxxe Spa, LLC

Luxxe Spa in Springfield serves the largest city in western Massachusetts and the third-largest in the state.

Springfield has a history disproportionate to its current profile: the Springfield Armory produced American military firearms for nearly two centuries, basketball was invented here in 1891, and the city holds the Naismith Hall of Fame and the Dr. Seuss museum, Theodor Geisel having grown up on Howard Street.

It has also been substantially underserved by wellness provision. Hampden County holds nearly half a million people with a fraction of the facilities found in comparable populations in eastern Massachusetts, which makes independent operations here more consequential than an equivalent opening in the Boston suburbs.

Infrared sauna is the common offer at this scale, warming tissue directly at a much lower air temperature than a traditional room and producing a full sweat over a longer, gentler session.

Springfield sits at the junction of I-91 and the Mass Pike with Amtrak service on the Hartford and Vermonter lines. Appointments book ahead.

Springfield’s position at the crossing of I-91 and the Mass Pike makes it reachable from across western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut, which supports facilities the city’s own population might not.
