Philly is always a good idea, just ask InStyle’s Taylor Ford, who recently discovered just how effortlessly cool the city can be. Her stay at Hotel Palomar felt less like a quick U.S. city break and more like a chic Parisian escape. Nestled in the stylish Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, the trip was packed with the essentials of a European summer: carbs, culture, and curated shopping. Think sidewalk cafés, historic architecture, and that effortless cosmopolitan vibe.
But it wasn’t just the food and fashion that gave her trip a Euro edge. It was also the beauty and self-care offerings. Ford’s visit to Rescue Spa Philadelphia left her raving about her “life-altering” deep tissue massage and “dreamy” facial. And she’s not alone.
So, what makes Rescue Spa so special?
- Founded by Master Esthetician Danuta Mieloch
- Award-winning facials
- Best skincare products under one roof
- Beautifully designed
Founded by skincare expert Danuta Mieloch, Rescue Spa has become a cult favorite for those who take their self-care seriously. What sets the spa apart is its unique blend of science-backed treatments and luxurious European techniques. Mieloch, who was trained in Poland, brings a distinct old-world approach to skincare, one that’s rooted in both discipline and indulgence.
This isn’t your average facial. Think lymphatic drainage, manual lifting massage techniques, and technology like microcurrent and LED therapy- all working together to tone, firm, and rejuvenate the skin.
At Rescue Spa, facials are customized using Biologique Recherche products, a French line known for its highly concentrated formulas, and Danucera, a potent, clean beauty line also founded by Danuta Mieloch.
It’s not just about looking good for a night out; it’s about resetting your skin and prioritizing yourself. In an environment that feels more like a private luxury retreat than a typical spa, every detail, from the calming music to the curated product lineup, has been thoughtfully designed to transport you.
So next time you’re craving a bit of Europe but don’t want to deal with passport control, head to Philadelphia. With Old World architecture (by the same architects who designed most of Paris, by the way!) and Rescue Spa’s world-class treatments, you just might forget you’re still stateside.
