Both lengths are popular for different reasons, and the right one depends more on what you’re hoping to get out of the hour than on any fixed rule.
What 60 minutes covers
A 60-minute session is generally enough time to work the full back, neck, shoulders, and either the legs or arms — a solid, complete massage. What it doesn’t always allow for is much extra time on any one especially tight area beyond a reasonable pass.
What the extra 30 minutes actually buys you
A 90-minute session isn’t just “the same massage, slower.” The additional time usually goes toward covering the full body more thoroughly and spending real, unhurried time on whatever’s tightest — not just touching on it, but actually working through it.
A simple way to decide
If you’re short on time, generally feeling good, or this is a first visit and you’re not sure yet what you like, 60 minutes is a fine place to start. If you have a specific problem area, haven’t had a massage in a long time, or you know you tend to feel rushed at the one-hour mark, 90 minutes is usually worth the extra time.
No wrong answer
Plenty of guests alternate between the two depending on the week. Both are available at Ember Spa starting at $99 for 60 minutes, with 90 and 120-minute options for when you want more room.
