Boston spa recommendations?

Need recommendations for a great day spa in Boston.
My friend and I are having a girls' weekend in August and we'd like to go to the spa for the day - have pedicures, massages, maybe a wrap. We're looking for more of an "urban oasis" than a salon/spa setup. Proximity to good food is a major plus, but that's not too tough in Boston. This is yet another time I wish there were more American equivalents of the onsen or sento, but the results when one googles "Asian spa Boston" are NOT what we're looking for!

Best answer: Le Pli has excellent services, but it's not the best choice for a group pamper-fest (mostly because of the layout).
I hear great, great things about the Mandarin Oriental spa, but haven't been there myself.
G2O is a good choice for a group pamper-fest.
If you really want an "urban oasis" experience, there's also Inman Oasis, which is more of a hippy-dippy hot-tub-and-massage place, but no manis or pedis.

Response by poster: Wow, I guess I'm a hippy-dippy hot-tub-and-massage kind of girl! Inman Oasis looks perfect.
Thank you so much, everyone, for the help!

Seconding Inman Oasis. It's a great place run by good people.
