Circadian Ritual

The Waldorf Astoria Resorts offer a Sleep Enchantment treatment and Celestial Circadian Ritual. The Sleep Enchantment treatment, at the resort's Atlanta Buckhead location, begins with an inhalation ritual to increase oxygenation and is followed by a light touch massage with herbal sleep remedies including vetiver, sandalwood and chamomile to soothe away stress and anxiety.

During the Celestial Circadian Ritual at the Arizona Biltmore location, a warm magnesium scrub melts onto the body, exfoliating away dead skin before essential oils are gently applied on acupuncture points targeting relaxation and restful sleep. The treatment can be paired with a Circadian Bath Ritual, a magnesium soak that will put your body into a state of relaxation and reset those rhythms, as well as help any aching muscles.
