The Dragontree Spa

Great way to spend time before boarding your flight. It’s clean, quiet and away from the chaos. They’re also good about coordinating your treatment with boarding times.

Had an unplanned delay due to snowstorm today so decided to see if they could squeeze me in for a foot massage. OMG! So amazing! I started with a foot soak — so fabulous. They soak your tired sore feet in a big copper bowl filled with hot water and herbs that smell like a rich delicious tea. Halfway through, the pour icy peppermint water in your tootsies. You get a lovely salt scrub followed by an amazing foot and calf massage… Amazing! The décor is very soothing. Everyone there was so lovely and accommodating and very skilled. Treat yourself!

Great find and a perfect way to spend some time on a layover. The g.f. and I signed up for the 30 minute foot massage which was as good as I ever had! The only reason this place is not getting 5 stars is that the receptionist took our appointment and we discussed that I had not yet decided on which treatment and I want to know if it was ok to decide when we arrived? She said yes it was. But!!! When we got there we were told that the only treatment we could have was a chair massage. Which we quickly turned into a foot massage.
So I recommend choosing your treatment as early as possible and making a reso.
My guess is that there’s only a couple of therapists on duty at any given time.
I do very highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if I’m ever flying through Portland.

Probably the best amenity that the Portland International Airport has to offer. Super friendly staff that is knowledgeable and professional. I’ve had many massages here in my travels and I’m pretty sure there is no one I’ve had that I do not recommend. I have found that sometimes they can get quite busy and there can be a long wait, which is a downside and can lead to disappointment, but completely worth it if you give yourself a little extra time to plan for that possibility.

I walked by this place and contemplated going. I had been experiencing some tension and stress in my upper neck and back so I turned back and got a 15 minute neck and back massage on one of the kneeling chairs out front. Never mind that it cost $ 24 without a tip… it was money well spent. The young lady hooked me up and I felt a 1000 times better afterward. I could have waited until I got home but I’m sure glad I didn’t. Her pressure was firm and fantastic. If you need some quick relief, just go! I left and went straight to boarding the plane. Very satisfied flyer on the move!

I love this place!!! I only wish I traveled to Portland OR more often. I just had an amazing 90 minute massage with Devon. He was professional and made sure I was comfortable. I am fully relaxed and my shoulders aren’t tight anymore. I highly recommend that you arrive at the airport early and stop in. They also do chair massages if you don’t have time for a full massage.

With a little under an hour til boarding time, I wanted to find a nice way to spend my boyfriends birthday in the airport. I signed us up for massages, the receptionist was very nice and approachable. She sat us down, reclined our chairs at requested angles to make us comfortable and offered us water or hot tea. A couple minutes later, my boyfriends therapist walked over and offered us neck warmers– I appreciated this as I wasn’t her customer but she still took care of me. A few minutes later, Nye, my therapist came and introduced himself. He confirmed the time length of my appt, and then asked what I’d like worked on.
I get massages every few months or so, and have had some pretty great relief/​experiences– but this one by far, was the best. My massage was only 15 minutes, but Nye was extremely knowledgeable about muscles and balance, and how to relieve them. He found all the knots in my back/​shoulders and explain to me where that tension came from, for instance a knot it my shoulder was caused by my chest muscles being stronger and pulling my shoulders forward. He taught me how to work on correcting these spots and how to warm them up before doing any physical activity.
Overall, it was way more than I had expected from a spa in the airport. I was assuming with someone having a 15 minute appt before flying off somewhere that I would probably never see again, they might not have provided the best service. I was wrong. Amazing service. Will definitely make the stop again if ever in PDX.

This is the cutest place. I had a spa package with foot soak, massage and salt scrub. It was the bomb. The sauna topped it off. Thanks Dragontree! Perfect!

Whoa… Just finished a great week of vacation and stopped into the airport location for a massage on the way home. The lady up front wouldn’t look up or acknowledge us. She finally said, «what?» I said we’d like to get two, half hour chair massages. To which she didn’t respond. I asked if she wanted us to leave. Her response was, «yeah, unless you can wait around for an hour and a half» Horrible representative of what is probably a fine establishment.

OMG. Best airport experience of my life. I’d come 2 hrs early to every flight if this place was at my local airport.

IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR $$$$ — stay here. «Extortion and a horrible experience! After a 1 hour wait and the worst ten of a 30 minute massage ever I stopped it all together. I told the therapist that I would settle up and the walrus (that’s portlandia speak for fat pig) at the counter charged me for the whole time and did nothing in the eyes of customer service for poor quality!
PS — they suck!

Damon and Mazie are amazing! Very helpful and accommodating to my flight time and still willing to give the best service and massage. It felt like I was floating. The atmosphere was serene and relaxing considering the hustle and bustle of an airport. Thank you!

I haven’t even received my massage yet and this place deserves five stars!!! The customer service and attitude of the employees at Dragon tree is impeccable! I’m already relaxed before my flight and feel like I already received a massage. This is my first real vacation in years and we are running a little bit late due to airport security in traffic. I called twice thinking that we would need to cancel but they were extremely accommodating — heading into the massage now! I will send another update regarding the actual massage experience but they accidentally kill me my five stars will be coming back!

Super kind, attentive staff. We are newlyweds and the hubster had some neck pain, they put me in a chair with a warm neck wrap while the worked on him. Offered me beverages, really great service, at an airport even!

Excellent chair massage! My neck and lower back has been killing me and I was not looking forward to getting on a plane and sitting for three hours. He found all my knots and worked them out. Incredibly strong hands.

awesome peaceful environment you forget youre in the airport! Which is nice! My flight delayed 3 hrs so I splurged dammit on some self care to balance me out! I am nervous about these types of mall chop chop shops. But this was no chop shop! the energy of the staff was perfect and everyone had professionalism and helpful energy.
i was escorted to a lounger and offered tea and water… I waited there for a bit but didn’t mind. The muscles of my shoulders and neck melted a little under the weight and warmth of the wrap the greeter offered me.
I adked for attention to my upper back and neck and my therapist Tim was skilled at finding all the little pockets of tension and knots. It was Incredibly Relaxing. The small firm movements he used were like nothing I’d had in massage before.
It was better experience than I expected and I would come back for more of this next time I have some time before a flight!

This is a great place to pop into before your flight departs. It’s in the «posh side of the airport» (look for the signs pointing to gates A, B, and C if you’re stuck on the D and E side), and while this is a posh experience, the prices suit anyone’s travel budget! Low on time? You can order massages in increments of 5 minutes.
I had a 20 minute massage for about $ 25, just enough time to fill the wait for my departure. I was served tasty herbal tea and allowed to spend as much time as I wanted chilling out in the comfy chairs post-​massage.
A head’s up: They appreciate a call for an appointment at least 30 minutes ahead of time. So just give them a ring when you arrive outside the airport. It’ll be about that time when you get through checking your bags and TSA :)

What an utter waste of my time. After I spent 15 minutes walking over to the spa from another concourse she told me the were booked for the next hour and half. What good would that do me?! This could be avoided by having more staff on a FRIDAY!
Now it’s 15 minutes back…

In dire need of a deep tissue chair massage, due to 5 days of golfing, I came in here during my layover and was tickled to find that I could get a chair massage within minutes of arriving. I was assigned NYE to give me the massage.
I requested 40 minutes because my back was in desperate need of body work. Five minutes into the massage I knew it was a mistake. The pressure that was applied was more of a tickle than a massage. I stopped it 10 minutes in and asked to pay for only that time. It was $ 19 for ten minutes, a high price for a Portland airport. I paid it and left, although the nice girl at the counter tried not charging me. Massages by people you don’t know is always a roll of the dice, but this guy just didn’t know what he was doing. He needs to be retrained by someone that does.

I try to get regular massages to break up the knots I get in my neck/​shoulders due to poor posture and working at a desk… but I was *way* overdue and was wishing and hoping and praying that our gate at PDX would have one of those airport spas… and IT DID! Dragontree Spa was only a few gates away from us, so I practically ran/​skipped over.
I had to wait a bit as they were all booked at the time I wanted/​needed treatment (late afternoon) but it was worth it. I ended up just resting in one of their chairs for 10 – 15 minutes while I waited, then was helped by a lovely gal named Erin Rose (?). She didn’t spend as much time as I would have liked on the specific areas I knew were troubling me, but slowly worked her way up to it, and commented that it would have been ideal to have more time (you and me both).
Extra points to the woman at the front desk for being accommodating as to charge my phone in the outlet behind the front desk (which also forced me to detach from my screen for a little while) and bringing out a hot neck bag/​pad while I waited.
The prices are super reasonable (
) considering it’s in the airport, and I would totally use their services again the next time I have downtime in the Alaska/​C gate area. Totally recommend.
