Usually when one gets a pampering experience at the Hotel Dana 's spa we think of turning back the hands of time, helping us look younger by the minute. Not for October. The hotel has made clear they're prepping for utter mayhem as the Mayan calendar comes to an end. The hotel is outfitting itself in zombie talent--rooftop to lobby restaurant. This includes a floor of dead people, themed drinks, zombies hanging from the roof and an "Ugly Room" where spa guests can get ghoulish makeovers and cash in on spa special themed spa packages. You can call the hotel's spa for the deets, but we highly doubt that you'll actually turn ugly when you get a treatment in the "Ugly Room".

UPDATE 10/4/12: The zombie makeovers will not be offered by the spa. The dana will have a makeup room on the fifth floor which is unrelated to the spa and separate spa treatments that will "bring you back to life".
