Just when international passengers thought the newly expanded Terminal D at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) couldn’t get any better, it did. Be Relax Spa transforms layovers into an escape. More than just a place to wait, the spa is a sanctuary of calm where massages, gel manicures and tailored wellness treatments meet travelers at their most stressed.

“Be Relax gives our passengers something extraordinary,” said Libby Hurley, Assistant Director of Concessions for Houston Airports. “It’s not just about amenities; it’s about transforming their journey.” For the millions of international travelers, Be Relax delivers a level of luxury and comfort that truly raises the bar at Bush Airport.” 

Beyond standard amenities, Be Relax offers tailored experiences that range from soothing massages to indulgent gel manicures and pedicures, all designed to recharge the weary traveler. With sessions lasting between 15 and 45 minutes and prices from $20 to $95, the spa caters to those looking for a quick refresh or a deeper escape. With options for walk-ins and advance bookings—plus Priority Pass acceptance—Be Relax ensures anyone can indulge, whether they’re between flights or embarking on a long journey.

“We are absolutely thrilled to include Be Relax as part of our overall retail offerings at George Bush Intercontinental Airport,” said Gregg Paradies, President and CEO of Paradies Lagardère. “Like our own organization, Be Relax has a true passion for service, which drives their consistent and high-quality delivery of wellness experiences for travelers in this outstanding airport.”

Be Relax is among the 10 unique retail concepts planned by Paradies Lagardère in the IAH Terminal D and ICP programs. The retail concessionaire debuted Houston Supply Co. in August and opened Jetero Market, LEGO and Semi-Sweet stores on October 22, the day the expanded Terminal D opened to passengers. Specialty retailer and gift boutique Hip and Humble is scheduled to debut in the new pier in Spring 2025. More retail units will be opened by Paradies in the International Central Processor (ICP) in 2025 and existing Terminal D in 2026, as well.

“Our goal is to offer more than convenience,” said Hurley. “We’re creating a memorable experience that makes travelers feel cared for from the moment they step into Terminal D.”

Passengers can find Be Relax next to Gate D1.
