5 Travel Reset Rituals You Can Experience at Hotel Bonaventure with Blu Wellbeing
How to recharge your body and mind in the heart of Montréal
Whether you’re visiting Montréal for business, pleasure, or a well-deserved staycation, your body craves restoration—and your mind, stillness. At Hotel Bonaventure, in exclusive partnership with Blu Wellbeing, you’ll find more than just a beautiful place to stay—you’ll discover a sanctuary for full-body rejuvenation.
Here are 5 travel reset rituals you can easily experience during your stay:
1. Start with the Spa Circuit: Heat, Water & Nature
Perched atop downtown Montréal, Hotel Bonaventure features an open-air heated pool and hot tub, open 365 days a year, surrounded by lush rooftop gardens. Begin your wellness journey by soaking in the thermal waters, transitioning to the dry sauna, and finishing with a cool rinse in the spa showers.
This hydrothermal circuit helps:
- Boost circulation
- Reduce muscle tension
- Encourage lymphatic drainage
- Calm the nervous system
Tip: Use the pool early in the day to reset your internal clock and beat jet lag naturally.
2. Book a Signature Blu Massage in Your Room
As the official holistic partner of Hotel Bonaventure, Blu Wellbeing offers in-room therapeutic massages that blend global traditions with modern wellness techniques. Services are available daily from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM.
Massage styles include:
- Blu Sunshine Activated® – A deeply restorative mind-body treatment with aromatherapy, breathwork, and sound healing
- Blu Face & Body Sculpt – Lymphatic massage for detox, glow, and gentle release
- Blu Classic – A Swedish-inspired relaxation massage to unwind and reset
- Couples Massage – Perfect for sharing this moment of calm
3. Embrace Science-Backed Recovery
Travel takes a toll on the body. Whether it’s long flights, unfamiliar pillows, or the rush of your itinerary, massage offers a proven way to recalibrate. According to research:
- Massage reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels by up to 30%
- Increases serotonin and dopamine, improving mood and sleep
- Boosts circulation and lymphatic flow, accelerating recovery
- Decreases pain, stiffness, and fatigue—especially post-travel
4. Create Your Own In-Room Ritual
Your hotel room can become a healing space with just a few intentional touches. After your massage or spa circuit, try:
- Drinking a herbal tea or infused water
- Journaling or meditating by the window
- Applying calming essential oils or foot cream
- Taking 10 slow breaths before sleeping
These small acts promote parasympathetic activation—your body’s rest-and-digest mode—essential after travel and stimulation.
5. Stay Present—Even on the Go
Your stay at Hotel Bonaventure is an opportunity to realign. The rooftop setting offers a rare moment of peace in the city. Whether you’re watching the sunrise from the pool or winding down after dinner, stay present with your body, your breath, and your surroundings.
Blu Wellbeing was created with this mission in mind: helping you return to yourself—wherever you are.
Final Thoughts
Your next Montréal stay doesn’t have to be go-go-go. By weaving in these 5 travel reset rituals—spa, massage, rest, mindful rituals, and presence—you’ll leave feeling deeply restored.
