After what must have been many months of stressful research, Conde Nast Traveller released its list of the top 250 spas in the Americas and the Caribbean Monday. Eight of Colorado's own resorts made the list of the top 100 mainland U.S. resort spas, 2 of which broke into the top 10.

We've compiled the rankings below and sifted through to find some of each spa's more unique offerings. Which sounds the most enticing? Vote and tell us why in the comments.

Don't Get Rubbed The Wrong Way -- Conde Nast's Top Colorado Spas
No. 2 -- Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, Avon(01 of08)

Conde Naste Traveler's number 2 ranked spa in the U.S. resides in Avon, Colorado. Spa Anjali's offerings include body treatments, salon and skin care services, hand & foot treatments, and full day-long spa packages. Our favorite? The "Mountain Man," which treats hands and feet with a soak, invigorating balm, and micro-exfoliating lemon mask. Sterotypical mountain men need not apply. (credit:spaanjali.com)
No. 5 -- JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek, Denver(02 of08)

For $410, treat yourself - or (if you're feeling generous) someone else - to a calming steam shower and foot soak. After which, the JW Marriott Spa delivers with aromatic heat therapy, a ginseng facial, pedicure/manicure, and a designer haircut or professional makeup application. The cherry on top? Catered lunch.

No. 15 -- Peaks Resort, Telluride(03 of08)

Services at Telluride's "Spa at The Peaks" include the "Goddess Facial," "Lip Service" (love the tongue-in-cheek humor), and, our personal favorite: the "02 Blast." We're guessing the 02 blast, however, may be best served chilled at 40mph down Telluride Mountain's famed Spiral Staircase. (credit:peaksresort.com)
No. 30 -- The Little Nell Spa, Aspen(04 of08)

The Little Nell's Spa offers a little bit of everything, from "Tuning Fork Vibration Therapy" (based on Ohm Tuning fork sound waves to remove disharmony) to a range of massages. Prices begin at $145 and increase depending on massage length and package additions. (credit:The Little Nell)

Sip French-press tea and fruit-infused water as you relax in a hand-carved chaise lounge at Vail's Aria Spa. Then retreat to one of the 14 treatment rooms for a Swedish massage, pedicure, or a number of other spa offerings. Spa Director April Bingham told the HuffPost their coffee and sea kelp scrub is a highly aromatic experience, marked by "coffee, sweet vanilla, and grapefruit." (credit:Vail Cascade Resort and Spa)
No. 56 -- The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs(07 of08)
