Not all spas are luxury. We have lots of posts here on spa schools that offer massages for $25-$30 an hour, the Aveda Institutes (also discounted services), there are the spas in Bali where one can spend about $20 for a day of pampering, in most Asian countries spas are an inexpensive part of daily life for people across all economic levels.

If TB cares to have a luxury spa forum, that would be nice, but I'm guessing it would exclude a lot of the spas international travelers might be interested in.

It seems like this could be solved by modifying the definition of the Luxury Hotels forum, which I suspect already has many of the same posters.

I don't agree with your assumption. I have not found a great deal of discussion in the Luxury Hotels Forum re: Spas.

Okay, so let's say I started posting spa reviews (I got plenty). Where would I put these? Would these be moved around or deleted by the mods? What if the spa was a stand alone day spa, and not part of a luxury hotel chain? Where do I put these?

In the appropriate geographic forum.

Okay, I retract my "good idea" comment. :)

Agreed--I'm a huge fan of Rancho La Puerta (which, btw, is having some good deals this year), but it would never qualify as luxury.
