The last thing moms want on Mother’s Day is hassle or hurry. They want to retreat – renew and revel in a little bit of luxury. Savvy hoteliers have understood this for years. Here are two great ones, and the Mother’s Day options they offer:

Located near beautiful Bastrop, Tex., the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort & Spa, is one of those places you can lose yourself and find your soul at the same time. Rural, restful, resplendent with virtually any amenity you can conjure Lost Pines is doing Mother’s Day right. Start the weekend with a round of golf at Wolfdancer Golf Club, follow it up with a cool drink and a visit to Spa Django. This is your time. Mother’s Day itself brings in the whole family, as they descend on the restaurant for a bodacious brunch. Sleep off dessert and then head back to the real world.

The historic Arizona Biltmore is one of this country’s truly distinct properties, a bonafide grandame of a hotel. Celebrate this Mother’s Day in the desert with your daughter. The Like Mother Like Daughter package provides a manicure for two, as well as a foot refresh pedicure for the pair of you. Need further relaxation? Indulge in the Dreamcatcher Aromatherapy Massage, a Native American-inspired treatment that banishes – if but for a while – the burdens of everyday life. Therapists array essential oils and hot stones along the spine. That’s followed by a foot massage, and finished up with a full body massage. For the month of May, the Arizona Biltmore’s spa is running a special on the treatment.

There are precious few opportunities to bond and be away from the routine both at the same time. These are just a couple. Get creative, get away from he Mall and get out there this Mother’s Day.
